The news was announced during the company’s 10th Anniversary Showcase on Friday evening, which also revealed a few other things-more on those later. You’ll also be able to change the paint job on your flying saucer, and all the Crypto skins from the first remake will return.
We’re promised you’ll be able to play the full game in local 2-player split screen co-op too. The remake promises to “add and improve” features from the original in Unreal Engine 4. They’ll take in various countries and landmarks, including the US, the UK, the Soviet Union, Japan and the Moon. You’ll be taking Crypto on a tour around 1960’s planet Earth with much larger open world levels.
The game is available for Xbox One, PS4 for $39.99 CAD and $29.99 CAD for PC via Steam.Īn Xbox One review code of the game was provided by the game’s publisher, THQ Nordic.THQ Nordic has announced that Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.Ĭonfirming the leak from last week, development is to be handled by Black Forest Games who were behind the 2020 remake of the first game. The Destroy All Humans is a faithful remake of the original game from 15 years ago and is perfect for those who are fans of the original games or curious to experience it for the first time. I played the Destroy All Humans remake on Xbox One X in 4K resolution and it looks great. Even the audio from the original has been included but improved in quality for the remake instead of being recorded. You can see a comparison of the original game and the remake in the video below:Īll the dialogue and humour from the original game are still intact but Black Forest Gamers enhanced them and introduced motion capture to character models and cutscenes. Everything in the world has a lot more colour that makes everything pop. The different levels in the game have a lot more details from the vehicles to the buildings in each town. There are around 18 missions in total and you’ll be visiting some of the locations more than once. There are around six locations Turnipseed Farm (a Southern farm community), Rockwell (a midwest town), Santa Modesta (a California beach town), Area 42 (a parody of Area 51), Union Town (an Eastern seaboard industrial city) and Capitol City (a parody of Washington, D.C.) in the game and while the game isn’t a true open-world, each of the locations is a sandbox that you can explore freely during missions.Įach of the locations as a couple of main objectives to complete and there are side objectives to get a 100% completion in each location to unlock new abilities or skins for Crypto. There is also a jetpack to let you navigate each level with ease.īeyond Crypto’s abilities and weapons, you also have your flying saucer at your disposal that comes with a death ray to kill enemies or a tractor beam to lift up things like cars, people or cows. Each weapon does feel different but what becomes a nuisance is reloading, like you’ll need to wait for the Zap-O-Matic to recharge or Transmogrify objects into ammo for your Disintegrator Ray or Ion Detonator, which can be time-consuming when enemies are attacking you left and right.Ĭrypto also has other abilities such as psychokinetic that lets you levitate objects and people and the option to disguise himself with something called a Holobob. While playing as Crypto, you have access to a number of alien weapons such as the Zap-O-Matic (that will shock enemies), Anal Probe and more. Unlike SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle of Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, Destroy All Humans is a third-person action-adventure game and play as Cryptosporidium 137 (“Crypto” for short). Annihilate puny humans using an assortment of alien weaponry and psychic abilities or reduce their cities to rubble with your flying Sauce Gameplay Harvest their DNA and bring down the US government in the most brazen action-adventure you’ve ever played. Terrorize the people of 1950’s Earth in the role of the evil alien Crypto-137. The basic premise of Destroy All Humans is: It’s been 15 years since the original game release and THQ Nordic is giving the game the remake treatment. One of those games THQ’s Destroy All Humans series.
In addition to licensed titles, the PS2 has quite a few great games that were a lot of fun to play and have gained a sizable fanbase over the years.
