Do we stand a better chance against alien invaders in the realm of video games? These are the best alien invasion games of all time.
still lacks a proper ending after HL2: Episode 2’s huge cliffhanger, but that doesn’t mean it’s a journey you should ignore. Quite the opposite, as the saga’s renown is more than justified. It left a huge mark on science fiction video games due to its out-of-the-box FPS thinking and design, eventually leading to other modern classics such as Portal.
Half-Life’s main storyline begins when alien lifeforms invade the Black Mesa Research Facility, located in New Mexico, through a portal after an experiment goes wrong. It all leads eventually to a full-scale alien invasion of planet Earth and the formation of a human resistance movement against a fascist government led by the Combine. Players assume the role of physicist-turned-action-man Gordon Freeman in the mainline games, but you should look into the spinoffs too.
While Halo 3’s main focus is kicking the Covenant from Earth, Halo 2 is only partially set on our homeworld, but those levels are pretty sweet. As for Halo 3: ODST, it’s way more than a quick spinoff, offering a more grounded take on the battle against the aliens and making the most out of a deserted terrestrial city environment.
The player commands troops in the field in turn-based missions that can go very wrong, very fast. The XCOM games are known for their relentless difficulty and the high stakes of each mission, but research and development in between them can make things easier. Much like in real life, the actual threat isn’t the only obstacle, as finances and political pressure can also make your organization crumble. Our personal recommendation? Save your game often.
