Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced Assault Heroes for the
PlayStation®Network. A direct port from the critically acclaimed title on Xbox
LIVE Arcade, Assault Heroes makes its way onto an all-new platform for non-stop
action with explosive graphics that push the boundaries of a timeless 2D action
arcade game.
"Assault Heroes was an extremely successful title on Xbox
LIVE Arcade, so it was only fitting for us to bring it over to the
PlayStation Network, where all gamers could get a taste of the intense arcade
action," said David Daniels, Director of Marketing of Konami Digital
Entertainment Inc. "As the demand for downloadable content grows, Konami
continues to deliver quality titles and judging by the track record of Assault
Heroes, this was the perfect game to bring back for fans to enjoy on an entirely
new platform."
Players begin the game as the only surviving members of an
elite Special Forces Unit tasked with uncovering a classified weapons program
hidden deep within a secret underground lab. Featuring vibrant graphics and
intense environments such as enemy war camps, Assault Heroes offers an arsenal
of weapons including devastating flak cannons, flamethrowers and grenades to
navigate through the levels. Assault Heroes also features interactive
destructible battlefields and underground areas to discover, as players are able
to explore environments by foot, speed boat onto sea, or traverse through the
lands in a heavily armed 4×4 artillery vehicle. Missions can be played in single
player mode or in 2-player cooperative mode with a friend locally or online in
order to strategize their plan of attack. As an added bonus, competitive
rankings on the online leaderboards can also motivate players to execute the
sinister alien force and fight their way to the top of the charts.
Assault Heroes will be available for download in 2010 for the
PlayStation Network.
