Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault

About

Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault is a platform-strategy hybrid developed by Insomniac Games and released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The game blends the series' established third-person action gameplay with base-defense mechanics, tasking players with exploring combat-heavy environments, eliminating waves of enemies, and defending positions using the franchise's signature arsenal of unconventional weapons. The structure divides play between outward exploration and reactive base protection, giving it a distinct feel compared to mainline entries in the series. Multiplayer is a central component, offering both cooperative and competitive modes with cross-play functionality between the PS3 and Vita versions, allowing players on either platform to participate in the same sessions. The Vita version was made available as a separate release, extending the game's reach across Sony's handheld and home console platforms.
