War World is designed by one of Australia’s growing developers, THIRD WAVE GAMES. Originally a PC title designed and built by one of the smallest developer teams. But size is not always important as this is a mech battles on steroids, fast and furious.
Certainly something different on XBLA and good to see an Aussie premier title hitting the arcade!
