Assault Rigs is set in a future where physical sports have been replaced by a violent virtual contest, filled with gambling and corporate cash. You play as a jockey for a massive firepower tank, known as a Rig, navigating through maze-like arenas with jumps, elevators, and movable blocks.
The game's graphics and ambiance are inspired by Tron, placing you in a wire-framed virtual environment where the focus is on blowing your opponent to oblivion. You'll pick up power-ups to overcome other Rigs or Gems to advance through more than 40 levels. The game gives you progressively more power and versatility, including mini guns, laser cannons, heat seeking missiles, and special ammo rounds that can bounce or shatter for added firepower.
As the game progresses, you can choose different tanks (Rigs) to use in your struggle to survive. Assault Rigs features 3-D graphics with light sourcing and multiplayer features, making it a thrilling experience for fans of action and adventure games.
