Assault Heroes 2 is the sequel to Assault Heroes, an arcade-style, top-down shooter video game developed by Chilean Wanako Games. The game was released on May 14, 2008.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
The core gameplay remains the same as the first Assault Heroes, but the player now has the ability to hijack enemy units, allowing players to man such vehicles as tanks and helicopters. The game also features above and underground on-foot only areas, with larger maps than the previous game's on-foot underground lairs.[1][3]
Multiplayer[edit]
The game still supports two player co-op multiplayer both on- and off-line, and teammates may now link weapons for increased damage.[1]
