Alien Hominid Invasion

I did not really get into the gameplay loop of this game unfortunately.
For me it seemed lacking in replayability despite all the combinations somehow.
There is a chance tho that it's just something on my end.

SO FUN SOLO BUT SUPER UBER GOOBER FUN WITH FRIENDS

Has all the elements of a game I should like, but combined in a way that I hate.

Invasion feels under cooked. The controls suck. The levels are bland. The enemies and objectives just feel like screen spam.

I say this as a long time fan of Behemoth games: Please don't play this game. I don't want this to be anyone's first experience with one of their titles.

really fun experience the hazardous gas was a pain in the ass to deal with tho

Got pretty boring pretty fast.

Just isn't very fun. There's so much stuff happening on screen that it's really difficult to tell when you're taking damage, what the damage is coming from, what enemies are important, or even what you're supposed to be doing. You have a charged attack but it takes so long to use that it's easier to just ignore the armored enemies that randomly spawn. It feels like it's trying to embody old arcade games but it is too frenetic and too awkward to control for it to be fun. A complete miss for me.

it's a sequel to a good game buy it it's cool ^^

A review I really wish I can give a neutral rating on. This game is fun but mechanically it's a step backwards when compared to the first one. In an attempt to make it more appealing to those who play modern games as well as make it more viable as a casual multiplayer title, they've added character progression to the game and removed some of the hardcore elements of the original's old school gameplay. Furthermore controls have changed for the worse in order to accommodate a few additional things they've added (such as reloading). Adding to that since the game relies on character progression, there's less opportunity for me to use MY ACTUAL SKILL as a player to complete a run and instead I'm forced to grind out levels until I run across decent enough loot and unlock all of my ability slots to make my character viable enough to not frequently get killed (ironic me saying this since the original had one hit kills on the player).


EDIT: I added a more thorough breakdown of the game in list form below

What I liked
----------
-Maintains the art direction and humor of a Newgrounds/Behemoth game
-Music and animation are top notch
-Some of the original's gameplay seems to be there

What sucked
----------
-Abandons most of the game mechanics of the original classic and has slower paced gameplay
-Relies on procedural generation which creates bland level layouts and repetitive objectives
-Bosses aren't fun to fight
-Levels feel repetitive and monotonous
-Occasionally impossible scenarios will be generated leading to extremely frustrating situations where one will either have to save scum or lose all of their loot
-Casualized specifically to be a rogue-lite multiplayer experience
-Controls are atrocious compared to the original. They added things (such as weapon reloads) to the game that would better left out and as a result had to redesign most of the controls in a way that will trip up anyone that's played the original. Most notably dodging and digging are all assigned to a single trigger and you automatically land on enemies and players instead of having to manually trigger it. Furthermore the game has a permanent auto aim (that ironically makes it harder to hit anything) that can't be disabled and they removed melee attacks (which were done automatically if you attacked at point blank in the original) unless you specifically carry a weapon dedicated to that purpose.

Bottom line
----------
Fun for short bursts especially if you can find anyone to play it with (good luck). Definitely a casual almost party-style looter sidescroller that shouldn't be taken seriously.

I bought this game fried and i only play it fried 10 out of 10

Imagine you go to Yocco's with "The Ramen", then imagine you get there and it's closed. That pretty much sums up this game.

I will give it points for the animation, the reference to the original game in one of the cutscenes, and the final boss music.

one of the best games i played in a while i love how the game make everything colorful and the guns are also amazing i really recommend getting this game.

u should make a classic mode where its like the old alien hominid

I cannot unsee the onlyfans logo in the m.o.m's right eye. ifykyk

Took me a second to get it but OMG this is such a fun game only elevated with a friend. Classic Behemoth humor that just tickles my funny bone and tight fun gameplay. Highly recommend!

I played with a steam controller as they recommend a controller.
It's a side scrolling bullet hell. And you have very limited angles of attack 85 degrees up, 45 degrees down and directly left/right. A dodge roll with a few seconds cool down. The 3rd boss is where I had to put the game down seemed built to play against the control limitations.

Not much else to it. Not a bad game but not for me. Have said that, I am still looking forward to see what else The Behemoth comes out with next.

Alien

the spinner idiot sucks i hate it

Full of action, and brings back the nostalgic Flash Game & Newgrounds vibes.
Amazing art, music, and visuals overall as usual.
Best sequel of this game you could ask for basically && is very re-playable since the aliens went rogue.
And just like the originals, can be super challenging.
10/10

Fun, but other Behemoth games are better. 7/10

Pretty neat, nothing groundbreaking but it's worth the money.

they tried to turn alien hominid into a looter shooter roguelite(??) which maybe could have worked, but the combat just sucks and the levels are really repetitive. the art and animation is really good tho

Bread :)

Great for friends, I personally love it. The original Alien Hominid was a little too difficult at times cuz I'm a casual but this game is easier without making the game seem likes its for babies. Also the customization rocks

good

I actually had fun playing alien hominid invasion. 100% worth the 20$ when it was cheap. I recommend anyone to play this game if you love chaos and destruction. (even has bapi bapi bapi bapi bobbbbbbb)

SO GET THE GAME NOW!!!!!!

The game is very repetitive and there is no story. I got bored very quick

The Behemoth Doesn't Make Sequels

It's a mixed bag. I found the game a lot of fun with friends, but it's only got about 2 hours worth of content. You do runs which net you coins and loot. You get hats, mods, and colors which provide different stats- and you get different guns. There is an issue where it's hard to tell where you are because there are way too many VFX on screen at one time. Overall worth a buy if you can get it for $10 or less.

Finished Alien Hominid Invasion, I really like this Studio’s games due to being playable newgrounds cartoons and the cutscenes able to convey a lot without dialogue and the humor definitely hits. The rougelite gameplay starts off a little brain dead and repetitive being given tasks to do in the level and doing certain things and this certain mechanic comes into play where the longer you are in a level you are presented with more armor enemies and stage hazards and tests your dodging and avoiding projectiles. This is where the game actually starts being more fun since there’s more to worry about in the run and more to interact with in terms of challenge and gets really tougher as you go on.

The Loot gameplay loop is actually pretty enticing as you are presented with a lot of buffs and debuffs and it makes you consider your gameplay style and what you want to prioritize. There are plenty like boosting regen in health, jump height, defenses, etc and actually really makes a difference in a run and lets change mid run for a particular level or boss. The Weapons have great variety in terms of use with bullets, energy, melee, and elementals. Certain weapons need to reload and I found the best weapons to use are the ones you don’t reload and being able to charge it for bigger attacks helps with tougher enemies. It also gives you a choice of boosts and special abilities that can definitely be game changers in certain situations and can aid you along with costumes that have stat changes.

Bosses at the end of the run can range from challenging to frustrating depending on how well you can react to their attack patterns and which weapon you’re using to deal damage effectively since it really does make a difference. They can definitely be really tough if you are not rolling enough and don’t have certain perks.

7.5/10

Entra is in this game

good

While the game can become somewhat repetitive after completing all the levels and defeating every enemy type, it is still a highly fun, arcade-style side-scrolling shooter. A real fun time for newcomers to the genre, or those returning after a break, as the game offers a fun and easy to learn gameplay mechanics. Playing the entire game in two-player couch co-op was an absolute blast, making my time even more enjoyable.

This game is so silly,
it just really perfect,
alien kill human.
10/10

what was that one law made by like hamilton about aliens or something

GOOOOAAAAATTTTT

I thought that this game would be fun and all, but turned out that it's pretty boring.

Silly, Simplistic, Perfect.

bapi bapi baa

shes Aliening on my hominid till I Invasion

read the negative reviews for this game. they thoroughly explain what to more or less actually expect from the game, especially when the majority of positive reviews are less than 2 sentences long or contain nothing more than "bapi bapi ba". personally i don't have an issue with Invasion and i usually get put in the mood to play this after playing the original Alien Hominid (which is a certified hood classic)

well 8.5/10 one of the best behemoth games PLAY AS AN ALIEN destroy the PLANET! explode...ROBOTS!!!! the gameplay is fun and random but......YOU CAN COLECT HATS .!!!!! did you remember alien himinid HD ??? well this game is...X2 BETTER! AND YOU CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS! YES! MUSIC IS PERFECT but there's one problem....game's short but still great content thanks behemoth again

The game is AMAZING

This game was very fun for the first couple hours, but then you realize that what you've played is all the game has to offer. All the bosses get recycled numerous times, all the levels feel identical to one another, and this game's idea of difficulty scaling is just spamming twice as many enemies every stage.

I love the behemoth, but they really missed with this one.

Destroying FILTHY EARTHENS for the Tallest has never been so thrilling!

I regret waiting for this

Very good

I like how you can just zone out and shoot the agents. Games are getting so serious these days, this game feel like a good breather from that. i just wish there was more of a player base for the game. a lot of the game is based on co-op and nobody really plays. bummer.
