Capcom has said the next Xbox Live Arcade game they will release is Rocketmen: Axis of Evil.
This download will be available from Wednesday, March 5 at around at 9:00 am GMT (1:00 am PT), you can download this game for around 800 Microsoft Points (or about $10).
Tim Innes the producer of "
Rocketmen: Axis of Evil" describes the game play here: "Upgradable Run and Gun is the best way to describe it. The actual controls are similar to that of what is referred to as a 4-way shooter (one stick moves, the other points where to shoot.) But there are also secondary weapons like rockets and land mines that provide additional tactics. Although the game is very arcade like, the player is always earning experience points towards their character and can upgrade skills, weapons, and other cool stuff after each level."
"It should be familiar. Just reading this you can get a pretty quick grasp: Imagine using the left stick to move right, left, up, and down to evade incoming rounds and enemies. Use the right stick to fire back. Pull a trigger to use a secondary item/weapon to fire rockets, launch seeking missiles, drop mines, etc.. And hit a controller button to activate stuff like doors, computers, control panels, … you get it. Controls are very easy to learn."
"Our goals were simple – old school gameplay with all the modern bells and whistles. I could compare the game to old classics like Robotron (a personal favorite), Contra, or even Smash TV, but those games are not as deep as this one (or 3d). I think ultimately the goal we accomplished was re-envisioning a classic game-play concept with better art, story, weapons, and a heavy dose of sci-fi smackdown. But gameplay is fast, challenging, you have to be competitive to get drops and use them. It’s a busy game, and rewarding as you develop your character."
