The Xbox Live Indie Games Summer Uprising begins its second week with today’s game, Take Arms, a 2D side-scrolling shooting title labeled as the “multiplayer evolution of the classic console platformer.” It features three different classes to choose from: the sniper rifle-wielding Striker, the minigun-equipped Destroyer, or the common Grunt with an assault rifle. Players can battle it out over three maps, and three game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag. Take Arms supports 1-8 player online matches, and system link.
Take Arms is developed by Discord Games, a two-person team that was founded in 2009, and is now available on Xbox Live for 240 Microsoft Points, or three dollars. Learn more about the game at the Indie Summer Uprising website, and watch the trailer below.
