Microsoft announced back at E3 2012 that it was bringing a free-to-play action-RPG to Xbox Live Arcade, then seemed to forget about it. Well, Ascend: Hand of Kul quietly launched yesterday, so give it a go if you fancy murdering monsters without paying a penny, at least to check out its single-player/multiplayer crossover ideas.
The next game from Toy Soldiers developer Signal Studios was revealed during Microsoft's E3 press event to be Ascend: New Gods, a bloody and stabby affair playable across both Xbox 360 and mobile. There's a hint of Demon's Souls to it, too.
Toy Soldiers was a pleasant surprise when it hit Xbox Live Arcade in 2010, a tip-top tower defense masquerading as a tabletop wargame in a young chap's bedroom. Last Friday it made the the jump onto PC, coming complete with its two DLC packs for $10.
In a virtual bedroom in the 1980s, the Cold War still rages on. Toy Soldiers: Cold War has been bolstered with two new DLC packs, each bringing a new "mini-campaign," units and other shiny new things.
