Essentially, the main point of the game is to fly a tiny spaceship around and destroy everything on the screen. Players get points and money for destroying things without getting damage taken by either flying directly into the enemies or by having them shoot back at you. The money can be used after each level, as players can spend the money to purchase special weapons, such as homing-missiles or an electric force-field type of weapon. These weapons can then be used in the next level, and can deal devastating blows to enemies.
GGG writes in their review: "Nano Assault Neo X is a short, albeit fun experience. Fans of Resogun will feel right at home with this microscopic twin-stick shooter. First time buyers will easily get their $9.99 out of the game though fans who played the game on Wii U don't have much reason to return aside from improved visuals and trophies. Your adventures exterminating enemies from cells ends earlier than you would like but the ride is more than enjoyable. For the uninitiated twin-stick shooter fan, Nano Assault Neo X is a no-brainer that belongs on your PS4's hard drive. "
