How it feels

You play as a swarm of alien insects, using stealth and turn-based tactics to gruesomely and humorously devour human invaders one by one.

What players say

Players enjoy the novelty of controlling aliens against human invaders, but the campaign is short at around 7-8 hours and there is no replay value. The stealth-tactics play more like puzzles with turn limits, and one unit (the stalker) does most of the work. Many note the lack of quick save and a minimap as frustrations, and some hit a difficulty wall in a stealth-only level.
