Summary

Chromehounds brings squad-based multiplayer mech combat exclusively to Xbox 360 for the first time ever. The war of the future has begun with three superpower nations fighting for world domination.

Commanding giant metal war machines called "Hounds," you must manage your tower of heavy artillery through giant war zones while engaging in cooperative squad-based tactics and fighting intense battles against other real-time players via Xbox Live. Strategic planning, quick reflexes, and team-based communication are the key to winning the Chromehounds battle.

Customize your massive mechanized Hounds with a huge array of available options to create a walking arsenal of firepower. Chromehounds offers you six different types of vehicles to choose from, each excelling in a different aspect of battle: Scout, Soldier, Sniper, Defender, Heavy Gunner, and Tactics Commander.

In multiplayer combat modes, you can build large platoons and take to the battlefield in squads of six for head-to-head battles with opposing squads, conquering enemy territory to advance towards world domination. Single-player action is also available so you can sharpen your tactics and create a Hound that becomes the ultimate combat war vehicle.
