Evaluation
Attack of the Earthlings launched on February 8, 2018 as a complete single-player campaign. In the weeks following launch, Team Junkfish shipped several patches adding bug fixes, keybinding support, French language localization, and full controller support — all polish and quality-of-life work rather than new story content. The only paid DLC released was the Original Soundtrack on October 10, 2018. A post-launch content poll was shared in March 2018 asking players what they'd like to see, but no specific post-launch content was ever announced or delivered as a result. The most notable post-launch news came on February 12, 2020, when the studio announced a separate mobile spin-off set in the same universe — a new game, not additional content for this PC release. There have been no developer communications about this game since February 2020, and no new content, DLC, or roadmap has been announced. The game shipped as a self-contained single-player experience and all available evidence points to development having concluded with the soundtrack release in October 2018.

About this game
Attack of the Earthlings combines turn-based combat and stealth in a dark comedic single player campaign, where you the player, take control of the native alien race to defend your home world from the invading humans.
Galactoil, a comically dysfunctional energy corporation, are hell-bent on harvesting the known universe for energy and will drill anything in its incessant quest to line its pockets with profit. However, their latest foray into energy exploration on Planet X13, has placed them into a bit of a pickle. The Swarmers, the native insectoid species, have another idea - to eat all the workers!
You take control of the Swarmers, a highly aggressive insectoid species, who must convert human flesh into alien muscle, upgrade their units and even find the time to gatecrash a birthday party.
To put a stop to the invasion, the Swarmers must plan attacks carefully. Take control of unsuspecting workers, set traps, emerge from vents and hiding spots to take your human prey by surprise, and assault in groups to kill multiple enemies at once.
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.
Voice actor and Vine extraordinaire, SungWon Cho A.K.A ProZD (A Hat in Time, Paradigm)[/b], lends his brilliant voice to X13 mining operation Regional Manager Dennis Dickinham; a man both massively unqualified and massively overpaid. A gregarious fellow who finds joy in everything, be it catching a few rounds of golf with the boys or rerouting power from sickbay to the massage chairs in the boardroom, Dickinham's a delight to be around! Just never, NEVER utter the phrase "bad idea" in his presence.
The game also features an original soundtrack by composer Mikolai Stroinski (Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Blood & Wine).
