Oct. 2025

Just a silly little game. It's pretty easy, don't expect much from it, but it's fun for what it is.

Sept. 2025

A very fun & cute game. Took me about 7.7 hours to beat, and I had a lot of fun doing it. A couple missions got frustrating due to a lack of a quick save/quick load feature. Which the game BADLY needs. But despite that each mission has fun little combat puzzles to figure out and work through. Nothing was too complex and after a few reloads here and there you can usually get your way through nearly every level. One negative I would give to the game is that you only really need 1 of your pets. The Stalker does everything you need. Especially once ranked up. With the exception of a single unit type that requires the ranged pet, it kills your guys when you get close, I never found a need or use for the other pets. The stalker did it all and nothing else could come close. The game was funny too. Made me chuckle several times. The comedy is very inspired by the "Mars Attacks!" movie and it reminded my of the "Evil Genius" games when it came to animations and art style. Solid, fun, quick game. No real replay value. Once you play through it your done. No reason to replay the missions unless you want some achievement you might have missed. 4/5 Great weekend game.

July 2025

Changing my original review. The game is fun, and it is funny, and if you can get it at a steep discount, it's worth it. However, it also has some shortcomings: 1. Desperately needs a minimap. 2. Edge scrolling would be nice. 3. Graying out abilities that can't currently be used would be helpful. 4. Tell the player ahead of time how many turns are "par" for that level, since resources depend upon level score. 5. I'm sure there are some others I can't think of at them moment. My thumb's up is contingent upon the steep discount. At full price or even half price, it's a thumb's down because there are less frustrating games to be had at that price.

June 2025

This is a relatively short Xcom-style game played from the perspective of an insect-like alien species. The writing is funny, though often predictable, and the missions are just different enough to sustain the fun factor for the game's duration. The 7 missions will take most players 8-10 hours to complete. I felt no desire to continue playing the game after beating it, but since I paid $3 for this game, I think it was well worth what I spent.

Dec. 2024

A fun XCOM-style game where you're leading a totally not Predalien through a corporation's extraterrestrial mining drill/facility that is in no way comparable to Weyland-Yutani, with gut-wrenching team-building in a very literal sense. My only complaint is that it's a bit short but from another perspective it's a solid, sleek package.
