Wednesday's Xbox Live Arcade Game Release (2/27/08)

Written by Rivithed

Wednesday, 27 February 2008

Today's Xbox Live Arcade game release is Triggerheart Exelica, an enhanced version of a Japanese arcade game. The top-down scrolling shooter brings a unique element to the well known formula: anchoring on to enemies. Once you manage to nab an enemy ship, you can toss them to other enemies or use them as a shield. You'll need that shield to protect you against all the bullets that almost completely cover the screen at times, so get crafty with that anchor.

Features of Triggerheart Exelica:
- Unique anchor shot element: The Triggerhearts can anchor enemies, capture them to use as a shield, or toss them back into the field of battle to cause havoc.
- V.B.A.S. (Variable Boss Attack System): The game dynamically reacts to your skill level. If you have a low score, the bosses will be slightly easier to defeat. Carry a higher score, and the bosses become more challenging.
- High-def graphics: Fully compatible with HDTVs, the graphics bring the top-down shooter genre to a new level of intensity.
- New music: New background music willl have you grooving to the rhythm as you destroy the Ver'mith.

Triggerheart Exelica is available for 800 Microsoft Points ($10). Anchors away!
