Is Alien Attack worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy arcade-style survival against repeated alien attacks rather than longer story campaigns.
- Friends looking for a split-screen action game who have an Xbox controller.
- Players who like retro pixel art and chip-style game audio.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a varied campaign may hit a wall once the repeated task of fighting aliens is the main loop.
- Players who want a relaxed pace may bounce off the pressure to keep surviving while surrounded by enemies.
- Players looking for crafting or shelter-building systems will not find those described here.
Our take on Alien Attack
The likely bounce point is the survival loop: after the setup of being left alone, play centers on fighting aliens for as long as possible. Players who need distinct objectives or a changing campaign may lose interest once that repeated fight becomes clear.
What is Alien Attack?
An isolated space trooper faces surrounding aliens after the rest of the crew leaves.
The objective is to stay alive for as long as possible while fighting the attackers. The game includes five weapons that can be obtained from bosses, and aliens may drop weapons when they are not damaged. Its retro presentation uses pixel-art sprites and backgrounds, chip-style sound effects, and a chiptune soundtrack. Split-screen co-op is available with an Xbox controller. Steam achievements and leaderboards track scores, including scores above 1,000 and 2,000 points. The description frames the experience around surviving alien attacks, with possible assistance from a squad member later.
