Assemble Entertainment and China-based publishing partner WhisperGames, Brazilian film company Fehorama Filmes, and developer Loomiarts have announced that the 1950s sci-fi-inspired, fast-paced 2D shooter “Squad 51 vs. The Flying Saucers” is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam this autumn.
In “Squad 51 vs. The Flying Saucers,” Extraterrestrials from outer space have arrived on our planet, bringing promises of a bright new future for the earthlings. However, this otherworldly partnership soon reveals a darker side as the VEGA Corporation, the alien enterprise led by the hideous Director Zarog, is imposing its predatory politics on the human race. Amid this oppression, the rebel group Squad 51 rises as a response against the violent acts committed by these vile beings. Will the brave pilots of Squad 51 and their aircraft stand a chance against Zarog’s diabolic fleet of flying saucers?
Join Squad 51’s Lieutenant Kaya and face unrelenting hostile alien aircraft, martian fighters, and monsters in fast-paced shoot-’em-up action, all recreated in glorious black-and-white visuals of the 1950s along with live-action FMV sequences.
Players can choose from four unique aircraft that can be customized with special weapons and will battle in 11 different environments, including snowy mountains, forests, and cityscapes. Want to fight with a squadmate? A second player can enter a level at any time — earn points with a co-op player and unlock new special weapons and upgrades together.
Brave pilots can now take to the skies with the free prologue of “Squad 51 vs. The Flying Saucers” on Steam. The demo features English voiceovers, a local co-op mode, and never-before-seen levels, bosses, and gadgets for your spaceship to defend Earth from a merciless alien invasion.
