Alien Hominid HD Coming To Switch In 2023

The Behemoth has announced they will be brining Alien Hominid HD to Switch.

The game is a HD remaster of the original run-and-gun Alien Hominid that was released back in the early 2000s. This is a separate game from the previously announced Alien Hominid Invasion, which is described as a “reimagining”. HD is set to release sometime later this year for Switch alongside Invasion, and a bundle including both games is also being planned.

Check out the trailer below, along with some additional details via Steam:

About

Alien Hominid HD, the award-winning 2D side-scroller from The Behemoth, is now available for modern platforms! With hand-drawn graphics, excitingly fast gameplay, and the humor that started it all, loading up this title is like traveling decades back in time, with improved visuals and the same hardcore gaming experience.

Navigate your surroundings by jumping, dodging attacks, grabbing agents, and digging underground! Use your trusted blaster to shoot at anything in your path and hurl grenades towards your enemies for epic explosions! Catch agents off guard with your knife in close-up combat, or chomp their heads off if that’s more your style.

Whether you’re playing solo or two-player local cooperative play, Alien Hominid HD is back with the three classic difficulty options:

• Easy – Seven lives and continues, with two shields from weapon pickups.
• Normal – Five lives and continues, with one shield from weapon pickups.
• INSANE – Three lives and continues, one hit kills.

Tired of chomping heads? All of the original mini games are here for any aliens wanting a quick break, including:

• 201 levels of PDA Games
• Super Soviet Missile Mastar
• All You Can Eat
• Neutron Ball
• Pinata Fiesta
• Challenge Mode

And that’s not all—the game is complete with Steam achievements, in addition to weekly and monthly leaderboards for all three difficulties! Come back to the game that started it all for The Behemoth while crossing your fingers and hoping you remember those pesky boss patterns…
