Assault Heroes gameplay trailer


Tomorrow marks the release of Assault Heroes on Xbox Live Arcade. It also marks the third original Arcade title in a row that we've received, which is something of a Christmas miracle. But what the hell is Assault Heroes you ask? It's a top down shooter of the old school variety, full of giant enemies, plenty of weapons, and some nifty team maneuvers. Watch the video embedded after the break for a heaping helping of shootery goodness. It's unfortunate that YouTube has enfuzzinated* the picture, because the game is actually very sharp. We're looking forward to giving it a try tomorrow.


Anybody else out there looking forward to Assault Heroes?

*Enfuzzinate: to make fuzzy.
