Our take on They Came From the Sky 2
Rather than casting the player as humanity's defender, the game makes a giant alien robot the central character and turns human abduction into the objective. Its arcade structure focuses on repeated score runs instead of a conventional campaign about saving the world.
What is They Came From the Sky 2?
Play as a giant alien robot tasked with abducting humans while battling more than 20 enemy types.
The game uses simple controls and fast arcade action, with an open-ended score-chasing structure built for repeated short sessions. Players can search for 50 hidden human artifacts, unlock weapons and special abilities in the Tech-Lab, and pursue higher scores. The presentation uses handcrafted pixel graphics and music by Kevin MacLeod. The game includes support for Xbox 360 controllers and Steam Achievements. Its premise and mechanics draw inspiration from the Amiga games Walker and Defender. Pixel violence is present, alongside the game's darkly comic human-abduction theme.
