Kill those Human Invaders
Featured in my last list of cool demos to try during the Endlessly Replayable Festival, Beat the Humans takes players right into the thick of an interstellar showdown, offering a unique twist on the turn-based tactical RPG genre. Developed and published by indie Dochungryest, this game is set to drop in 2024.
Forget the usual Earth defense storyline; here, players lead an alien army tasked with defending their home turf against relentless human invaders. Players need to strategically assemble a squad of aliens, each with their own special abilities and gear, to push back the human forces threatening galactic freedom.
The action unfolds on the game’s expansive space map. Players must fend off human attacks while forging crucial alliances for survival. The missions are diverse, ranging from capturing and defending planets to rescuing civilians and battling monstrous entities on desolate asteroids. The turn-based combat system requires careful planning, with players using a mix of abilities, weapons, and combat robots to outsmart the human troops.
In Beat the Humans, players can build and continually upgrade a personalized team from a pool of procedurally generated heroes. Each battle provides a chance to exploit the terrain and combine team skills to outmaneuver enemies. Collecting powerful artifacts further boosts the squad’s capabilities, making each decision crucial to the broader galactic struggle. A fresh take on the alien vs. human conflict.
Beat the Humans will probably arrive sometime in 2024 on PC via Steam. Below an overview of the game, with screens and trailer.
