Alien Scumbags

When I first touched this game I had the feeling that Doom's universe invaded Mario's. But then, my feelings got mixed and felt like Mario just turned himself into the Doomguy. Then Duke Nukem came into my mind along with many other references that I don't want to spoil.

Q: How many pop culture references do you want? MFG: Yes On the surface, Alien Scumbags seems like a run-of-the-mill action platformer/shooter but it goes deeper than that. The pacing is great, it's not too excessive with the action (it gives you time to breathe) and the answer is not always "just shoot". There are segments where you can hide and just let things pass. There's both light-hearted and some low-brow humor but that's all part of the package and gives the game another layer of interest. If you're playing on stream or uploading to [url=https://youtu.be/kLf1oC5ehAI]YouTube[/url] like me, there is also a gore/nudity filter (you never know what YouTube is thinking in terms of censorship nowadays) to keep you covered. I'm currently doing a let's play series, and will update my review once my video-review comes out. For now, however, the game is a great play and you'll have a good laugh while playing it.

Fun game! Really enjoyed splattering enemies. The dev obviously put a lot of thought into the level's, and overall a fun game. I do wish i was able to shoot in more then 3 directions with flying enemies.

First and foremost, this game is definitively made with love & a sense of nostalgia for classic shooters such as Duke Nukem, Doom, Aliens, etc - The very essence of this game is an honorific of games and titles past, while doing its best to be a challenging side scrolling platformer/shooter and it succeeds well! The good: Tons of collectibles that are all RNG 12 characters in total (base+11 unlockable) all with different abilities/special effects Semi-Forgiving Continue options - score/coins, if you dont have enough, it will still let you but will take your score to 0 (can still build it back up providing you dont die again) Tons of secrets and hidden easter eggs The bad - the music will occasionally stop looping and can be a bit irritating at times, but not that horrid. Explosions are seriously deadly with a range that is ungodly at times in later levels Not enough blood/gore ;) All in all, I honestly dont have much to gripe about this game, it was truly an enjoyable experience that far exceeds my expectations and I hope this review encourages you to give it a shot! 9/10 Game, HIGHLY recommend!

Articolo completo: https://www.ilvideogioco.com/2020/12/10/alien-scumbags-recensione/ Alien Scumbags è l’ennesima riprova che il panorama indie è in grado di stupire, divertire ed impegnare. Ed è forse questa caratteristica più importante di un gioco, il divertimento. La ventina di ore che vi serviranno per portarlo a termine passeranno in fretta, soprattutto quando potrete sbloccare i personaggi aggiuntivi, tutti dotati di abilità uniche pur se caratterizzati solo in superficie. Un buon level design ed una grafica ad 8 bit lo rendono perfetto per le serate dedicate al retrogaming o per farsi due risate con gli amici. Ma non fatevi ingannare, non va assolutamente preso sottogamba. Il livello di sfida è di tutto rispetto grazie anche a meccaniche che lo rendono particolarmente impegnativo.

Found this gem after the dev responded to my Wishlist Wednesday post on Twitter last week. I loved the Steam trailer and immediately got a major nostalgia kick afterwards. MFG(dev) and I chatted for a bit over dm's and was excited to hear that I wanted to feature it on my weekly Indie Appreciation stream on Twitch! Day of they came into chat and he and the community shot the ♥♥♥♥ while i got immersed into the game, cackling like a madmen as the references came throughout the game. I played thru the story in about 3.5 hours on the first difficulty level, after which I unlocked the last of 4 difficulty levels. The game has loads of replay-ability for the cost and I see myself pushing to 100% this in the future. I won't spoil any of the references here but trust me, its a blast to play and challenging at times. but gives you that amazing feeling when you figure out the level plays out. The different characters are also a riot, each with their own special perks included. In terms of bugs there were a couple small ones that were easy to get around once you realised what they were, MFG is actively addressing them as they come along and is an awesome person to chat with. Overall, nothing game breaking was seen during game play and I had an absolute ball with it as did my community. 11/10 can't wait to give it another run!

I was pleasantly surprised by the game. Honestly, I thought it was going to be another side scroller that has typical 8-bit graphics and just no thought put into it. I was pleasantly surprised. The game is a typical side scroller, to a point. The amount of effort and detail the dev put into the game makes taking your time, exploring and re-playing it, worth your time. There is so much to unpack in this game. The old time references hidden throughout the game are a nice touch. The different character abilities, multiple characters, the off beat humor all add together to make a very excellent game. There's a lot of hidden items and corridors you can venture down, all with their own little surprise. I'm very glad I got a chance to play this game. I also have to say that it even had moments that made me jump, which is surprising for a game like this. It really is a great game and well worth your time and money to get.
