Team 17 strikes back with Alien Breed 2: Assault. The top down extraterrestrial shooter makes it second appearance on XBLA, and adds some great improvements. Gamers can get their hand's on Team 17's next inclusion into the Alien Breed series today for 9.99 or 800 Microsoft Points, via XBox Live Market Place, or Steam on PC.

Alien Breed™ 2: Assault, Team 17’s latest killer title has been hotly anticipated since its predecessors, Alien Breed™: Evolution and Alien Breed™: Impact, were launched across Xbox™ LIVE Arcade, PlayStation®Network for PlayStation®3, and for PC via Steam. Thankfully, the wait is now over; gamers across the world will now have a chance to play the next chapter in this high-budget, high-quality series when Alien Breed™ 2: Assault becomes available for purchase today on Xbox™ LIVE Arcade and PC via Steam. Alien Breed™ 2: Assault expands on the territory covered by Impact/Evolution and adds several new elements to the mix.

With a brand new “Survivor” mode for one or two players, new weapons, a currency-based weapons and items upgrade system, choreographed set pieces and heart-stopping boss battles, this game is highly entertaining; a more expansive and exploration based addition to the series. The haunting and atmospheric soundtrack, combined with stunning visuals (using Unreal® Engine 3) round off a must-have title for any shooter fan’s collection. A demo is to be available on both platforms from launch; a purpose-designed, action-packed free trial called “The Prologue”, which also features a time-limited “Survivor” mode map.
