Attack of the Earthlings

Its kind of sold on being a "Reverse X-Com" but the only part of the game that is like that is the moment to moment turn-based gameplay of each level. There is no base, or squads, or loadouts. You gain points to spend on upgrades between missions and there's a linear sequence of tactical puzzles for you to solve with jokes during and between. Thats it.
The writing can be pretty funny, the visuals make it look a bit like a cheap Xbox 360 game and the campaign isn't very long. The UI is a bit lacking and the actual responsiveness of player input can feel a little clunky. The actual gameplay can be pretty fun with setting up ambushes and sneaking around, if a little sluggish.
Ideally for a sequel/update they'd let you move more than one unit at a time, speed up unit actions, give you some options during levels to affect later ones and have more unique scenarios than "kill/break this".
Its a decent Tactical Puzzle game with a fun theme, and the comedy does work way more than it doesn't, but I wouldn't pay full price for it. Here's hoping someone makes a proper reversed X-Com game in the future, as the concept has legs.

This is an entertaining turn-based tactics game, where you play the role of a xenomorph whose planet has been invaded by pesky humans. Killing and eating humans provides biomass that you use to create additional units. The somewhat ghastly premise is balanced by the rather silly villains and humorous scripted events.

The game has seven maps, each of which provides a slightly different challenge. It's not a very long game (~9 hours for a careful playthrough that hit all the secondary objectives), and replayability is low unless you go achievement-hunting, but it's worth buying at the right price point.

The short: Very fun and very funny, but not very long.
The long: This game is quite interesting. I have always liked playing games from the 'bad guys' perspective, or rather the 'non-human' perspective, for in this game. Because you technically aren't the bad guys. Yes, you do go around killing humans, some of which are kinda innocent, but they came to your planet to mine every resource and kill everything they can get their hands on to begin with. The humans in this are comically evil, and comically dumb. I was actually chuckling at several parts in the game. The writing is simple, but pretty good and decently funny. The story line is decent too.
The game play is also rather simple. You only have your starting Queen alien, and from there you make basic drones which can evolve into three different specialist aliens. The more humans you kill, the more biomass you collect, and thus the more aliens you get. You can have an even faster, sneakier drone/assassin, a ranged disruption unit, and a big slow tank creature. Every situation in the game calls for one of these units. Sometimes you can finish a level using only one or two types, other times you need to use them all, and their unlock-able abilities. As you finish each mission you get upgrade points depending on how many humans you eliminated, and how fast you were.
I don't really like that in my stealth turn based combat games. Being forced to go quickly, that is. It didn't work for me with XCom 2, and it doesn't really work here. For XCom 2 it literally ruined the game for me, but not here as it is optional. I can see how they would add it in as a factor to maybe get more playtime/more replay value out of the game, but in the end it just had me rushing through levels to try and max out unit level up biomass. I think more levels, possibly larger levels, with more 'puzzles' to solve would have been much more preferable; then maybe an alternate 'speed run mode' unlocking at the end when you beat the game?
Oh well, like I said, the game is fun and funny. The voice acting is great. It plays pretty simply and rather well. The super streamlined UI is nice, but it and the overall graphics for the game kind of make it look like something you would end up playing on your phone or a tablet. It has a charm to it, but, a sort of cheap charm? Anywho, I didn't get all that much playtime out of the game. It was fun, but not quite $17 CAD fun. I would recommend it, but only if you get it on a decent sale.

Charming and funny. Don't pay over £/$10 (ideally 5), as it's just a REALLY simple turn-based strategy game with some funny humour in it. I laughed quite a few times. It's not deep enough to play over and over again, but a good intro to the genre.

It's a quirky and fun game to play. Although a bit on the shorter side and not too tactical, I did thoroughly enjoy playing it and I would recommend it to other players. If a sequel is ever made I could imagine these developers really hitting a home run!

I played Hell Divers 2 which really brought up an itch to play as one of the enemies from that game. This scratched that itch. I love reverse horror games and getting a reverse turn based strategy sci-fi game was amazing. More than worth the money! I might pay for the DLC to support them further.

It is a Really good game with a lot going for it, it is really fun because the game is like xcom but the roles are reversed. The Humans are invading and the aliens are the defenders and the humans are the ai and the aliens are the player controlled
