Evaluation

Alien Strike launched on May 7, 2026 after over five years of development by a two-person indie studio. The release delivered a complete campaign featuring 9 stages, 15 bosses, 35 enemy types, and local multiplayer for up to 3 players. Shortly after launch, on May 19, 2026, the developer posted a thank-you message explicitly committing to more content. They stated they "won't stop here" and announced a significant free update coming within the next few months that will continue the game's final scene, describing it as "another experience within Alien Strike." On June 16, 2026, a follow-up post reaffirmed this, stating that "we will also have an update with new levels and new content soon." The studio has also been actively supporting the game since launch, shipping multiple bug-fix and feature patches — including version 0.9.9 on May 31, 2026 (which added a stage selection system, a CRT visual effect, and a new shield upgrade) and version 0.9.9.2 on June 16, 2026 (addressing boss bugs and checkpoint issues). The team's most recent communication was on June 16, 2026. The promised free content update — described as new levels and a continuation of the final scene — has not yet shipped. Developer communication has been consistent since launch, and the announced content remains outstanding.

About this game

 Alien Strike is a Run 'n Gun with retro energy! Slide, jump and shoot in 8 directions as you face an alien invasion in electrifying levels with pixelated visuals and lots of action. With local multiplayer for up to 3 players, take control of recruits, collect, upgrade and share weapons in real time, acquire energy for powerful special moves!

 Equip two weapons and switch between them in the heat of combat. Collect the same weapon more than once to unleash its X version - turbocharged, with more aggressive shots, different shapes and increased firepower. Choose well, combine styles and turn the tables in style!

 Each defeated enemy fuels your special bar - and when it bursts, get ready for an explosion! Activate a devastating blow that clears the screen and commands respect. It's the kind of move that shines like a flashing neon in the chaos of the battlefield. The timing makes all the difference.

Form your team and engage in side-by-side combat in local co-op mode for up to 3 players. At full arcade pace, each player can run, climb cables, dominate the map and distribute lead in real time. Play with friends like old times - synchronization, chaos and camaraderie!

Take on monsters in epic fights reminiscent of the golden age of arcades. Each boss brings unique attacks, unexpected patterns and a trail of destruction all around you. Survive the firefight and face the final battle like a true hero!
