Is Alien Hominid Invasion worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action-game fans who want to fight enemy swarms with an alien character
- Groups of up to four players who want online or couch co-op
- Players who want to experiment with weapon, alien form, and mutation combinations
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a fixed, linear route may find the non-linear leveling path and randomly assembled neighborhoods a poor match.
- Players who dislike losing progress on death may hit a wall in Mastery Mode, which removes it.
- Players seeking a game without weapon and mutation customization may prefer a different fit.
Our take on Alien Hominid Invasion
The sharpest bounce point is Mastery Mode: a death wipes the accumulated progress there. Players who want the higher experience and better drops without that loss can choose Permakeep instead.
What is Alien Hominid Invasion?
Alien Hominid Invasion is an action game about attacking Earth with an alien crew.
Fight enemy swarms, steal intel, sabotage plans, and take on bosses and agents. Missions award experience and support a non-linear leveling path, while mutations add abilities such as flight, healing, and super speed. Neighborhoods are assembled from city blocks, and players advance toward enemy headquarters. Up to four players can play online, on the same couch, or in a mix of both.
Each player can set a separate difficulty, with three levels available. Mastery Mode offers more experience and better drops but removes progress on death; Permakeep lets players retain their items. Weapons, alien mutations, and cosmetics can be unlocked and equipped, while Mothership Data loads bonus modifiers.
