First gameplay of Alien Hominid Invasion
- Thread starter Glio
- Start date
Coming to xbox, switch and pc(will buy on switch since this company's games feel great on the go) . Does the company just not release on sony products at the same time or is there some exclusive deal with Microsoft?
It looks just a tad too frantic with so many damn effects going off on the screen. But I'm in. Looking forward to it.
Likely just a combination of being a small team and having familiarity/a relationship with Xbox from their early releases.
They're a small studio and have been close with MS since the 360 Arcade days.
Absolutely getting this day 1.
So many fun memories with Alien Hominid on Newgrounds and Gamecube.
Looks like there's no blood in this though?

Echoing the thoughts that it looks way too busy to follow sometimes. Maybe easier when you have the actions tied to the visual.
Plus, I was really looking forward to this because I thought it would just be a more modernized version of the original, but this looks... not like that at all. It looks like instead of progressing through a stage there are constant randomized objectives in what's essentially a large semi-open area and then you get to move on when you've done several of those. I thought it was going to just be a co-op shooter with levels and bosses, like the original/HD, but I guess not. I'm not going to dock it points for doing what it wants to do but that immediately cut a lot of my interest right out.

I kinda want it to feels just a BIT more solid like Gunstar Heroes. I KNEW when my character grabbed someone there, because of the sound effect, the fact there was a "Huh!" and a start-up of interaction between the player character and enemy. Here, I feel like the Alien disappeared behind the enemies much too fast, leading to the interaction being a bit confusing.
It'll get less so when you get to customize your look, have a honkin' huge hat that shows where you are ALL THE TIME, and get to know your character's color.
Gameplay speed wise, It feels nice and... slippery. Not horrible, especially for a 4 Person co-op experience, but I'd prefer a bit more hitstun, and impact. 4 players isn't just 2P with 2 more; the game seems to understand this, so that's fine.
I do like there's some non gun weapons in there (I noticed a Strider-ish Blade Swipe)… gaming is really making me lose interest in GUNS, GUNS EVERYWHERE, lol.
Random assortment of Hand Crafted stages sounds fine. I'd love to see a few straight structured paths, though. Maybe as another mode, or something.
Explosions are brown and yellow, sometimes purple and white for the screen nuke and victory checkmark.
Your own bullets are a mix of colored coded to the character + A difference for special effects.
Eh, I'd wait to hear a statement on that. I could see them not wanting the gore all up because of being at a convention.

It's not too hard to tell. Green stuff hurts. It's what the noxious gas, enemy bullets, and sky lasers are all made of: green.

Maybe I've been watching too much 2v2 Smash but it seems fine to me.
Ok, the green particle smoke is a bit much but they can fix that.
Hey I remember this little guy!
There was a flash game where you play as a little yellow alien and you can literally bite people's head off
