Overview
Announced on May 16th 2012, E.X. Troopers is a spin off of the "Lost Planet" franchise from Capcom. It takes an approach that is foreign to the existing series as it is centered around teenagers in a high school academy on EDN-3. The art style is very reminiscent of Japanese Animation/Manga, even adding sound effects in written form during combat that give the feel of a graphic novel. The game supports cooperative multi-player. The game will release on November 22, 2012 in Japan.
