  Simply put, you can quite literally get away with murder. While Attack of the Earthlings is aiming to be more casual than its counterparts, its gameplay really is too simple to be interesting for more than a few minutes. This, mixed with the criminally awkward and slow animations, makes the game little more than a chore, broken up a few some decent jokes.

  Attack of the Earthlings is a short game that makes a hell of a first impression. The story might not be anything to write home about, but it’s fun, engrossing, and surprisingly funny. It offers up some unique maps to mess around with and has a very charming art-style that makes murdering those squishy pink things very satisfying to watch. Attack of the Earthlings is dripping with character, and I for one would love to see some more of what they’ve got.

  All things considered, Attack of the Earthlings is a good, fun and funny game. While it's fairly short and has very limited replay value, the time you spend with it is genuinely fun. More than that, it's funny where most games will feel forced or simply re-use aspects to their death. Though it may not surpass other similar titles like Xenonauts, this is an altogether good experience and one that's well worth playing if you're a fan of the genre.

  As long as you aren't thirsty for a deep tactical foray into the great unknown, Attack of the Earthlings is a competent (and occasionally great) jab at the corporate world, and the ludicrous lengths that people will go to in order to make a buck. Attack of the Earthlings is a humorous, inverted take on the familiar alien invasion story, packaged within a decent turn-based strategy game.

  At its core Attack of the Earthlings is a fun tactics game with a great sense of humour and a unique twist on the alien invasion trope that allows you to play around with unique abilities, making it a solid pick up for fans of the genre.

  With only one difficulty setting and its seven levels, I saw little reason to return once I’d made my way through this game in around eight hours. Yet, I thoroughly enjoyed the limited time I had with Attack of the Earthlings. This is a game that offers tight strategic gameplay, wrapped up in gags aplenty. In many ways, it’s like a human observed from the Matriarch’s perspective: small, tasty and soon forgotten about upon expulsion.
