Tower Defense With Farm Animals and Aliens: ‘Beware Planet Earth’ Is Out

July 1st, 2012 Wraithkal News
Tower Defense With Farm Animals and Aliens: ‘Beware Planet Earth’ Is Out

At first glance, Lightmare Studio‘s Beware Planet Earth didn’t exactly make me jump at the prospect of yet-another-tower-defense-game, but a closer look revealed some interesting mechanics that was only made better by the cheesy 70’s sci-fi humor.

Ask yourself this: When was the last time a game let you prevent aliens from abducting cows, by way of quirky inventions and weapons? Because I certainly don’t remember anything that crazy, which makes for a nice break from what we usually get within this genre, if nothing else!

According to the developer, the full version contains 46 levels and.. achievements! That’s right: 25 of those, so if you’re into collecting virtual trophies there’s something to do even after beating the main game; on top of the 18 bonus challenges. But of course the later part of the game would likely get a bit dull without some variety, and thankfully this game delivers: There are more than 20 Martian cow-nappers ranging from “odd” to “what?!” that you need to defend your farm animals against, and a whole bunch of (potentially) weirder machines built for that very purpose – there’s even one called the ‘Helicowpter’.

On top of that, free DLC has been announced but since the game just came out there’s obviously no release date yet for that. Plus.. a talking outhouse. I kid you not. A talking outhouse. That’s either crazy, brilliant or both. There’s a demo on the game’s official website, where the full version can also be acquired for €9.99 (or the equivalent in your currency) and the developer can also be found on both Twitter and Facebook.

Whenever a big AAA title claims it'll "innovate with groundbreaking features", it usually turns out to be a snore-fest; one which simply mimics other games (poorly). This is where my interest indie game interest comes from: pick a random title from a pile of these, and chances are you’ll end up with something genuinely unique - often for well less than $60 too.
