Alien Hominid HD Review (carter.veteran)
It's still Alien Hominid. It's still hard.
Game still works with a little messing around in the options to change it from windowed to full screen. My biggest gripe is the controls. Not the controls itself but the help screen for them. There are a bunch of drawings showing what button prompts do, problem is it does not show which button to push no "X" does this, just "blank" showing a drawing. Now it is not that difficult a game to figure out. it's a side scrolling run and gun inspired by games like Contra and Metal Slug. It doesn't take long to figure out "A" is jump, "X" is shoot, and "B" is grenades. (I am using an xbox one controller) I don't know if they removed it cause some people will use a playstation controller.
That was my only real gripe the game is still good made by the same guys that made Castle Crashers, with the same type of humour. It's also very hard even on normal you will die. A lot. Although the easy mode was just right with enough lives and enough of a challenge where I just wanted a nostalgic kick I didn't want to break my controller. The fact that once you beat a level its done and you can restart the next one is a god send. It also has plenty of achievements and unlockables like hats, mini games, but more importantly it has 2 player local splitscreen coop old school (Only 2 players unfortunately). Making it perfect to play with friends and siblings a like.
