How it feels

A relentless arcade-style bullet hell shooter where you blast through waves of aliens with a shotgun in mecha armor.

What players say

Players compare Alien Blitz to a top-down Doom with light upgrade mechanics. There is a clear split: some love the old-school feel and speedrun-friendly design, while others find the voxel visuals make enemies hard to distinguish from the environment and criticize the grindy upgrades and royalty-free music.
