"Assault" was one of the first games to use the Namco System 2 arcade hardware, capable of sprite scaling and rotation. Music was composed by Shinji Hosoe while designs for the player's tank and enemies were designed by "Gundam" artist Kunio Ogawara. Upon release, "Assault" was met with favorable reviews, with critics applauding the game's graphics, controls and usage of sprite-scaling.
