Renowned Japanese game company LEVEL-5, best known for the critically acclaimed Professor Layton , INAZUMA ELEVEN and NI NO KUNI, has released Keiji Inafune’s action shooter, BUGS vs. TANKS!, in Europe via the Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system. Created by video game legend Keiji Inafune, best known for his work on some of the industry’s most respected game series -- such as Mega Man, Onimusha and Dead Rising -- BUGS vs. TANKS! casts players as a shrunken World War II tank in a battle for survival against swarms of hostile insects. BUGS vs. TANKS! was previously released only in Japan as part of the GUILD02 collection, featuring masterworks by some of the industry’s most respected game creators.
BUGS vs. TANKS! is an action shooter set during World War II. In the game, players are thrust into the role of a WWII panzer squad, which has, unexpectedly, been shrunk to the size of a bug. In order to survive, players must master their tanks and engage in heated battles against ants, bees, moths, and more, all while clinging to the hope of finding a way to be returned to normal size.
BUGS vs. TANKS! features authentic WWII tanks pulled straight from the history books which players can customize by changing the body, turret, and paint, obliterating swarms of bugs in their own style. BUGS vs. TANKS! also offers co-operative multiplayer missions against some of the game’s baddest bugs, with up to four friends joining the fray and the ability to call for friendly cover fire via StreetPass.
As an added bonus in BUGS vs. TANKS!, players who previously downloaded LEVEL-5’s LIBERATION MAIDEN, AERO PORTER, or CRIMSON SHROUD via the Nintendo eShop and have save data from any of three titles on their Nintendo 3DS will receive an exclusive gold tank.
BUGS vs. TANKS! is now available in Europe in the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS for ₤7.19.
