Capcom Bringing Arcade Shooter Rocketmen To XBLA, PSN

Capcom has announced that next week's Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network updates will see the addition of its Rocketmen: Axis of Evil multiplayer arcade shooter based on WizKid's 'constructible strategy' card franchise. In the game says Capcom, players will "join the heroes of the Alliance of Free Planets in their white-knuckled, frenzied struggle to free the Solar System from the tyrannical grip of the Legion of Terra." The game will support up to four players online or off with "a variety of mini games that let players instantly jump into existing games" with "plenty of levels, hordes of enemies, huge bosses and engaging story for maximum replay value." Players will be able to customize their character both male and female across three races of human, Mercurian or Venusian and three classes of Fighter, Engineer, or Outcast, and can gain extra items and abilities by completing a variety of quests. No pricepoint has yet been revealed for the game, but will be given via Microsoft and Sony's own respective network updates in the coming week.
