ZaciSa’s Last Stand heading to the Wii U eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
ZeNfA Productions is bringing “ZaciSa’s Last Stand” to the Wii U eShop. A release is planned for late December/early January in North America. Pricing is set at $2.99.
ZaciSa’s Last Stand is a 2D tower defense game set in space. Players are tasked with defending their base from an onslaught of enemy ships by deploying different Bot weapons such as Sentry or Bomber. More waves of enemies with increased strength will be encountered in each level.
By destroying ships, you’ll earn points and money as well as a nice bonus at the end of each round. In-game currency can be used to build more bots and different kinds of upgrades.
Four different maps are included in ZaciSa’s Last Stand: Space Station 001, Asteroid Mining Station 6, Hyperspace, and Moonbase. More maps will be added for free in the future through post-release patches.
The game will include Hard and Easy difficulty modes, local and online leaderboards for all maps and modes, and 1080p support. Additionally, a small local co-op mode is included for the mobile drone bots, allowing up to four different people to use a Wiimote to control and move any on-screen drone in plane.
You can find additional details about ZaciSa’s Last Stand here.
