Retro Revival Fire & Forget: The Final Assault Coming May 16th
If you remember the original Fire & Forget, I may need to repeat this several times, because your mind probably isn’t what it used to be. I kid, of course, but it’s true that this is an IP that has been dormant for more than two decades. That’s about to change, because on May 16th, Fire & Forget: The Final Assault will be released on PC/Mac, iOS devices and Android. It looks like the developers have tried to really capture what made those early games great and, if nothing else, there aren’t a ton of shoot-em-up titles flooding the market right now.
Thankfully, the graphical overhaul has added something new to the Fire & Forget universe, and it would be nice to think that The Final Assault could be a precursor to a new assault of high-quality retro-inspired games.
For a look at this newly renewed franchise, take a look at the video below.
