Alien Invasion 3d

So yeah this game needs a lot of work man. The controls, while simple in mechanics, were hard as hell to use in practice to actually shoot the planes. The enviorment is pretty barebones too. I made a gameplay video with the basic experience I got from the game: https://youtu.be/B1GQGivDpHs If this is your first game, don't give up. It's a good starting point but you should work more on your craft. And this is not worth 6$. Overpricing a small game like this is also not a good practice. Goodluck in the future man, but for now I'll have to say no to recommending this game.

Alien Invasion 3d is a really badly made shovelware cash grab from an asset flipper (the developers other games include "borrowed" uncredited assets). This is a cash grab because it's completely riddled with defects, but not only did the developer not fix any of them, he instead copy + pasted this exact same game and republished on Steam as "Alien Invasion 3d part 2". What a joke... it's a shame gamers have to put up with this pollution. Taking this seriously, which nobody should, it's an arcade third person "flight combat" game where you control a UFO with a really clunky control scheme (it looks like Derek Smart had made this... and yes that is an insult). You shoot some jets and things. That's if you can get it to run... see, the developer bungled the game asset repository so Steam is looking in the wrong path for the game executable. To launch this, you have to go into the game folders and run the exe manually. This is something Valve should have picked up on, but it's absolutely typical of the deplorable quality of this garbage... and for the developer to have published several games like this, it's not an accident, it's deliberate. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game menus feature options to change keybinds and graphics, [i]but these don't work!!![/i] The quality here is so low, and the developer has a history of unethical asset flipping, but the game assets here are so bad, and the texture quality so low, no self respecting asset creator would ever publish them on an asset store. There's no working option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The controls can't be customised due to the broken menus, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. The only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Alien Invasion 3d is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 9,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.
