REVIEW: Attack of the Earthlings (PC/ Steam)
Attack of the Earthlings is a turn-based strategy game but it is slightly different than your usual games of this genre.
In Attack of the Earthlings, an Evil Human Corporation lands on your planet and plans to take all its resources
There are limited number of units per level but the game balances that with a resource called biomass. Biomass can be increased by consuming dead enemies as well as allies. Biomass can then be used by your primary unit matriarch. Matriarch can then spawn grunts which can also be evolved into other units using more biomass.
Attack of the Earthlings has a very stable learning curve with difficulty spikes only when you are facing particular bosses. Some tasks can add additional difficulty but nothing too steep.
Apart from upgrading your units mid battle you can also upgrade them in between levels permanently. You are awarded mutagen at end of each level to unlock further upgrades.
Game suffers from lack of replay value as the game only features 7 Levels. The7 Levels represent the 7 floors of the office with last floor being of Galactoil’s CEO. As you progress, you continue to unlock better units to combat against variety of enemies.
Game suffers from few bugs but none are game breaking. Initially there was problem with ultrawide resolutions which seems to be fixed now. Further, sometimes your units will get stuck behind invisible walls or enemies passing fire through the wall. These are frustrating but the game auto-save feature is flawless and helps out in most situations.
Attack of the Earthlings is a colorful and humorous game. The character models are decent to look at and aliens are very well detailed.
The soundtrack of the game goes very well with the game aesthetics. The audio effects are great too, plus, the voice acting is also on point.
The humor and jokes in Attack of the Earthlings is really good and they continue throughout the game. Though the game is fairly short and all levels stay the same, nothing dynamic about them.
