Attack of the Earthlings

That being said: The gameplay mechanics compliment each other, allow for upgrade choices and are well made.

It's this marriage of tone and gameplay that sets the game apart from other indie tactics titles—it’s not just about strategy, but about embodying a role and enjoying the narrative as it unfolds.

Sound effects are great, with grunts, screams, squishy noises, and various weapons, though they do sound a bit isolated in cases, as if they were recorded separately and then pasted in (which is of course exactly what was done).

Graphics have a good feel to them, consistent with the title screen image, though the levels do feel a little bit 'samey' after a while; some different textures and assets wouldn't go amiss, though I should say that the current presentation does provide a consistent portrayal of the Galactoil ship.

You can see that because of the countless details woven into the levels (references, easter eggs), the hand-written lines and voice acting for the important characters.
