More shooting action is once again the order of the day, a la the first Assault Heroes, and we're promised larger, more interactive environments, new vehicles and tweaked gameplay.

Wanako Studios are developing, and the game also includes a two-player co-op mode. The first game was reasonably well-received, if unspectacular.
