Assault Heroes Now Available on
PlayStation Network
Konami’s Action Arcade Shooter
Pushes the Boundaries of Downloadable Content With High Caliber Weapons and
Revitalized 3D Graphics
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
today announced the availability of Assault Heroes for download on the
PlayStation Network. Following the footsteps of the highly successful Xbox LIVE
Arcade title, Assault Heroes is now available on an all new platform with
intense action and first-rate graphics that give a new look to traditional 2D
arcade games.
"We wanted to bring Assault Heroes
back to a new platform and make it better than ever for both old fans and new to
discover," said David Daniels, Director of Marketing of Konami Digital
Entertainment Inc. "As the latest downloadable game from Konami, Assault Heroes
provides non-stop, explosive action that is unlike any other 3D war shooter
game."
In Assault Heroes, players are
thrust into a top-down 3D world as the only surviving members of an elite
Special Forces Unit tasked with finding a secret underground lab where a
volatile weapons program is underway. Utilizing military training, weapons
mastery, and quick mobility, players must wreck through enemy forces of sinister
aliens using a variety of assault ships including an armored jeep with 360
degrees of firepower, and an ultra fast speedboat. Gamers can take on the
opposition single handedly or with an accomplice in local two-player mode. If
gamers are able to put their advanced training into practice, they will uncover
the truth about a highly classified weapons program.
Employing the PlayStation
capabilities and 3D format, Assault Heroes brings up-to-date visuals to the
classic 2D combat shooter genre, while allowing players to climb rank and
receive up to 12 trophies. Featuring three different stages of difficulty, bonus
levels and a multitude of enemies and bosses, gamers must use flak cannons,
flamethrowers, nukes and grenades to navigate
through levels and demolish any adversaries in their path. Complete with
competitive rankings and online leader boards, Assault Heroes challenges gamers
to uncover confidential secrets and eliminate the menacing resistance.
Assault Heroes is rated T for teen
and is available now for download on the PlayStation Network for $9.99. For more
