About Alien Games

Alien games feature extraterrestrial beings as enemies, protagonists, or the whole premise. Over one hundred and seventy titles in the collection include alien invasion shooters, alien-protagonist adventures, first-contact narrative games, alien-themed strategy titles, and sci-fi horror where the alien is the threat.

Aliens as a narrative element justify almost anything. Unfamiliar physics, bizarre enemies, unusual environments, unexplored worlds — these all become natural when the premise is "not from here." That design flexibility is why the alien tag cuts across genres so broadly. A top-down shooter with alien waves and a narrative adventure about first contact share almost nothing mechanically, but both earn the tag legitimately through their premise.

Popular picks from this collection include Astrocreep, The Visitor Returns, FNF: Cuphead a Noisy Adventure!, Ben 10 Alien Unlock, and Escape the Alien Prison. Expect alien invasion shooters in the Space Invaders lineage, alien-protagonist adventures where you play the visitor, first-contact narrative games, alien-themed strategy and empire-building games, sci-fi horror with alien threats, and the occasional alien comedy where the absurdity is the point. Recently added: Escape the Alien Prison, Dogs vs Aliens, and Alien’s Nest — new alien-themed titles arrive regularly as the sci-fi corner of gaming remains productive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are alien games always sci-fi?
Overwhelmingly yes. The alien premise carries sci-fi conventions with it. Occasional entries use alien framing for comedy or surreal purposes outside strict sci-fi, but those are the minority.
