Foursaken Media's long-awaited sequel to the Silver Award-winning Bug Heroes will go live on the UK and US App Stores at around midnight tonight as a free Universal app.

In this game, Foursaken puts you in charge of two creepy-crawly warriors who have to defend their food stash from invaders while simultaneously raiding the fruit pile of an enemy.

You'll get to shoot and squish rival insects from a sort-of third-person shooter-style view. You'll also plop down defensive turrets and hire mercenary critters to help turn the tide of war.

There are 25 heroes from which to pick, including a wise aphid sensei, a grenade-launching worm, and a poison-obsessed stink bug. All have upgrades, powers, and special abilities. Oh, and you can unlock or purchase them all.

Bug Heroes 2 has got a full single-player campaign and endless modes. You can also play co-op, one-on-one, or two-on-two multiplayer locally or online.
