World War II era, arcade style, submarine action title Naval Assault: The Killing Tide. Exclusively for Xbox 360, the game offers players the chance to command their own WWII submarine through multiple combat zones in the North Atlantic in this exciting summer release.
The story begins in New York harbour and tells the story of the Allied submariner effort against Axis forces across the key naval warzones of the conflict. Players will captain an arsenal of carefully recreated U.S. Naval submarines against enemy ships whilst assaults from both above and below the water’s surface are controlled by sophisticated A.I., so that game play will adapt to incoming assaults.
Players will need a healthy dose of stealth and cunning as well as sharp-shooting deck gun and torpedo skills to successfully destroy the enemy fleets in the 30 missions. In Naval Assault: The Killing Tide, players will need to use sonar to establish enemy ship types, alertness and attack range; all essential for dodging mines, sneaking past enemy ships and intercepting vital transmissions that can be the difference between life and death in the murky depths.
“Naval Assault: The Killing Tide gives gamers an exciting twist on a ‘shoot ‘em up’ style of game while remaining faithful to the era,” commented Ian Howe, Managing Director, 505 Games, Europe. “Combining arcade action with a WWII submarine setting creates a truly unique gaming experience.”
Naval Assault: The Killing Tide will support single player and up to 4 player online multiplayer modes. The title will be published by 505 Games exclusively for Xbox 360 on 11, June, 2010.
