In late 2023, The Behemoth released Alien Hominid Invasion on Xbox, Switch, and Steam, a roguelite spin-off of the classic run-and-gun shooter, Alien Hominid HD. PlayStation fans were left out in the cold, forced to stare through a frosted window while the cool kids got to play alien. Thankfully, both Alien Hominid Invasion and Alien Hominid HD have now been announced for PlayStation 4 and 5.

In late 2023, The Behemoth released Alien Hominid Invasion, their long-awaited follow-up to Alien Hominid HD. Whereas the original game was a Metal Slug-like run-and-gun shooter with an unfortunately high difficulty level, Invasion introduces roguelite elements and adds online co-op.

Alien Hominid Invasion, the Behemoth's long-awaited follow-up to Alien Hominid HD, is a highly cooperative run and gun shooter. Up to four co-op players can team up and complete short, wacky levels as they strive to level up and unlock new gear. Naturally, a game with such a big focus on multiplayer runs needs new content to keep it fresh. That's just what the "Juicy Variety Update," which first arrived on Steam and has now landed on consoles, does. The update offers an invasion of new environments, new objectives, and new enemies to keep things exciting.

The Behemoth is an American developer that created one of the best cooperative beat 'em ups of all time: Castle Crashers. After releasing Pit People way back in 2018, the studio has been relatively silent - until now. Alien Hominid Invasion recently launched on consoles and PC, and it's an exciting co-op follow-up to another Behemoth favorite, the run-and-gun shooter, Alien Hominid. This one features online co-op, something the original game never had.

Alien Hominid started its life as a Flash game back in 2002. The game was ported to numerous consoles over the years, most notably to Xbox 360 as Alien Hominid HD in 2007. Now, nearly one million years later, modern players have a chance to enjoy the run-and-gun action with a fresh round of mildly enhanced ports. Alien Hominid HD has arrived on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, Switch, and Steam.

The Nintendo Switch Online Plus Expansion Pack is a yearly subscription that gives players access to numerous features.

Golden Axe II and Alien Storm are classic 16-bit beat 'em ups, and now Switch Online Plus subscribers can play them with online co-op!
