Team Junkfish just announced a new trailer and the release date of their turn-based alien adventure, Attack of the Earthlings.
In Attack of the Earthlings, the humans behind Galactoil, a ridiculously dysfunctional interstellar energy corporation, have traveled to Planet X13 with a gigantic space-drill to mine for fossil fuel reserves, sip margaritas in the sun and hunt big bugs. However, their latest foray into energy exploration has led to them unwittingly flattening a native species' home and now the surviving "Swarmers" are out for blood.
Combining turn-based combat and stealth in a dark comedic single player campaign influenced by the comedy of "The IT Crowd" and "Father Ted", players take control of the "Swarmers", a highly aggressive insectoid species, who must convert human flesh into alien muscle, evolve their units and even find the time to gatecrash a birthday party as they put a stop to the Earthlings' interplanetary assault. 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.
I am pretty into this description, and it sounds like a fun script-flip on the usual, "aliens bad humans good" storyline. Take a look at the turn based action in the trailer below, Attack of the Earthlings launches February 8th 2018.
