Attack of the Earthlings Releases February 8th
Dundee, Scotland – February 1, in the year of our
Lord 2018 – Scottish independent developer Team
Junkfish today announced the release date of eclectic turn-based
alien adventure Attack of the Earthlings to be February 8th
2018.
In Attack of the Earthlings, the humans behind Galactoil - a
comically dysfunctional interstellar energy corporation - have
travelled light years to Planet X13 and parked a gigantic
space-drill to mine for fossil fuel reserves, sip the odd
margarita in the sun and hunt big bugs. However, their latest
foray into energy exploration has landed them in a bit of a
pickle; they've unwittingly flattened a native species home and
now the surviving “Swarmers” are out for blood.
Combining turn-based combat and stealth in a comedic single
player campaign influenced by the comic stylings of “The IT
Crowd” and “Father Ted”, players take control of the “Swarmers”,
a highly aggressive insectoid species, who must convert humans
into alien muscle, morph their units and even find the time to
gatecrash a birthday party as they put a stop to the Earthlings’
interplanetary assault.
To put a stop to the invasion, your Swarmers must plan attacks
carefully, emerging from vents and lockers to take the human
prey by surprise, and ambush multiple enemies at once to remain
undetected. The more earthlings killed, the more corpses can be
consumed and transformed into new units with specialized roles
and unique abilities. The flesh of their own workers is the key
ingredient to developing a successful alien insurgency against
Galactoil.
You must fight your way up Galactoil’s interplanetary drill,
through absurd environments and passing quirky characters, with
the goal of defeating the ultimate enemy: upper management!
