Aegis Wing is a side-scrolling space combat game reminiscent of classic
eighties arcade hits. It features alien-busting action, slick graphics, an
orchestral soundtrack, and devastating power-ups.
Also included is a unique cooperative mode of play in which up to three
additional players can "attach" to the leader's ship and become independent,
360-degree gun turrets.
- Old-school genre: Get ready for an action-retro 2-D sci-fi side scrolling
shooter, similar to Gradius or Defender.
- Multiplayer gameplay: Up to four players can compete on the same console
or on Xbox LIVE®. Attach to each other, and super weapon powers grow as more
players attach. After attaching, there's one pilot and each rider rotates fire
via a 360-degree gun turret.
- Super weapons: Wield four super weapons, including the Hades Beam (kills
everything in it’s path), the Gordon Burst (EMP pulse that kills all bullets
and short circuits enemies), the Arcus Missile (heat-seeking missiles), and
Lambda Shield (allows bullets to be deflected and used against the enemies).
