Naval shooter AQUA will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade this summer, bringing its own brand of esoteric pseudo-Victorian, seafaring action shootery to the console.

Taking control of an elite cruiser, your job is to stave off waves of attacking vessels from both above and below the surface of the water. There are new unlockable ship types to discover with weapons and upgrades also rewarded for being victorious.

Tactical naval warfare is the crux of AQUA, and as such you'll also be able to form and command special support squadrons and assemble offensive and defensive troops to fight against the masses of enemy formations and installations.

We've caught the first seven screens and reeled them in from the depths, so you can ogle them in the gallery.
