The video above is a debut trailer for the newest hit from an indie developer, which is scheduled to make its way to Xbox LIVE sometime this holiday season, which generally means any time from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Weapon of Choice is a side-scroller similar to what we saw in Braid, but the action game pits the forces of earth against mutant aliens.

The story is pretty basic on the surface, with players taking the role of members from the Solus Contingent who are to dispatch the alien threat on Earth. The aliens are grotesque hideous beings as you’ve come to expect, and perhaps not as bright as they should be, as their messe dup entry strategy leaves the whole fleet crashed across a series of islands.

Beyond the basic story, every operative in the team has their own weapon of choice which comes with a different type of gameplay and strategy, centered around the weapon. Each operative also has a dynamically branching path with results in multiple endings and perhaps the ultimate in replayability.

The Developer is Mommy’s Best Games and seems to be targeting prodigal gamers, by offering intense gameplay which can be completed in a short time. However, make no mistake. Just because the game doesn’t offer hours of endless gameplay (unless you count replayability), you’ll not be breezing through this one. You’ll need expertly honed skills to get through this bloody action game. The soundtrack for the game is amazing, and the game is fully hand drawn, much like we saw in Braid.
