💥👽💥 Alien Scumbags | Review | PC | "A Fantastic 2D Pixel Art Horror Game Inspired by Doom and Duke Nukem" 💥👽💥 @KKindiegame @TristaBytes #GameDev #IndieGames

As you explore the dark corridors of an abandoned spaceship you stumble across a shotgun!

It’s just what you were looking for to fend off these alien Scumbags once and all for all.

The tannoy announcements play out loud as you tread carefully.

You hear a noise and jump into an empty locker to hide from the impending doom!

Nothing nasty comes along so you carefully make your way out of the locker and tiptoe along the corridor preying to avoid any trouble and maybe discover a health drop from a vending machine.

Then it hits you! “BAM!”

A massive Alien Scumbag lurches towards you with the intent of ripping your head off, so you unload a shotgun into its midriff and bring it to its knees and then finish it off with your final shotgun shell!

Meanwhile, the darkness and the foreboding atmosphere envelopes you as tread carefully forwards towards another impending scrap with an Alien nasty.

Alien Scumbags is a fantastic title that is currently sitting on Steam for a cracking price of £5. It’s well worth your time to get involved with this game as it gives you a game that has been lovingly crafted to create an atmospheric action platformer with a really cool 8 Bit Aesthetic that draws inspiration from some classic space shooters from down the years.


The game comes with a nice big slice of horror and a stack of pop culture references that will make you smile as you crawl through tight corridors fending off Alien Scumbags and desperately searching for supplies. 


The game features some great atmospheric music and also has voice acting talent from the talented @TristaBytes. It’s truly a joy to immerse yourself into this 8 Bit world as you uncover its secrets and blow Aliens into tiny red pixels!

For me, this is a game to sit down with and let off some steam across an hour of my evening as you get to have some unadulterated fun with pixel guns blowing some 'orrible aliens to smithereens.


The dev is continually working on updates and this is a labour of love that will continue to support its players with more updates to add features and improvements.


“Right, I’m off to sift through a vending machine to find some goodies while an Alien sneaks up behind me…”
