Defenders of Ardania releasing March 14 on XBLA

Defenders of Ardania

Defenders of Ardania got its official XBLA release date announcement today and it’s sooner than you might think. The next generation tower defence game is set to buddy up with 4-player co-op shooter Shoot Many Robots for a March 14 release. The game is set in the fantasy world of Majesty and players can take control over both the defending and the attacking sides. Tower Offence game anyone?

There are 3 different playable races to choose from, each with their own distinguishable locations, towers, and units. It’s being developed by Most Wanted Entertainment who promise the game to be innovative with its RTS element, taking the popular genre to a new level. Multiplayer is of the online variety with 2-4 player competitive and co-operative gameplay modes on offer. The game will be priced at 1200 MSP on release and you can check out some lush new screenshots after the jump.

Shoot Many Robots goes customization crazy

Which game let you equip fairy wings, a viking helmet, tighty whities, and a flamethrower? No it’s not Gotham City Impostors (next DLC pack perhaps?) but upcoming 4-player co-op, run-n’-gun action shooter Shoot Many Robots. Demiurge Studios have released a new gameplay trailer today, highlighting the game’s light RPG aspects and fun customisations. They’ve also revealed that there will be hundreds (and hundreds) of guns and gear for you to find, and that you can tailor the gear you wear to your play style. For example, if you want to play as a tank class, just equip gear with health boosts and grab a huge gun or if you prefer a stealthier approach then get a sniper rifle, a jetpack and pick off robots from the distance. Or you can just play as a crazy person wearing fishnet tights and a powdered wig…the choice is yours.

Shoot Many Robots blasts it’s way onto XBLA on March 14 for 800 MSP. Check out some new screen shots after the jump.

Crimson Dragon officially debuted

Further information about upcoming XBLA game Crimson Dragon was revealed at an event in Tokyo yesterday. Previously known as Project Draco the kinect game was officially renamed at the event by lead developer at Grounding Inc, Yukio Futatsugi. We knew all about that already thanks to the Australian ratings board, but it was also revealed that the game plays as an on-rails shooter with online multiplayer co-op for up to three players. The game hosts six different dragon types to play with, each with different attributes and three of these were demonstrated at the event: the balanced “Blood Skin”, strong but slow “Dark Shoulder” and “Snow Wing” who excels in learning new skills. Futatsugi favoured Snow Wing, for its learning ability since new skills can be gained by eating food in the game, though it’s not guaranteed to take every time.

Famitsu also published a wealth of new screens for the game and you can check these out after the jump.
