Let them come. They are coming to us soon

‘Let them come’ is a new fast paced shoot em up game developed by ‘Tuatara Games’. It’s coming out the 3rd of October for Xbox One and PC. Now this game sounds simple and technically is but let’s take a look.

In Let them come you play a mercenary for hire, called Rock Gunar. Right now he has one mission… “to eradicate alien scum, one wave at a time”.. because after all who wants to take them all on at once? Now Rock Gunar has quite the experience on the field. He even spent 20 years in the special forces and has had cameo roles in alien, aliens, men in black and predator; however we don’t remember seeing him in any of those but whatever. 

Players stay in the left handmade of the screen always in Let them come. You are set up with your big gun that mows down enemies. The aliens all rush you in an attempt to kill you once and for all. All you have to do is keep firing and kill them all, one wave at a time. Now it sounds simple, which it is but it’s truly difficult. This is because there are many types of aliens coming at you. For example: ‘Grunt’ is your simple run at you enemy, ‘Shielder’ can protect itself from frontal attacks, ‘Wasp’ are small, fast and able to dodge bullets, ‘Dangler’ moves along the ceiling and can lay eggs to release ‘Spiderlings’, ‘Wyrm’ appears from underground and fires a projectiles, ‘Burster’ which can explode if it gets close and many more aliens. 

To deal with all this, there is a lot of weapons, ammo and upgrades for players to use to survive. Secondary items like a combat knife, throwing knives, a zapper, chainsaw, riot shield and more. Ammo like, shock, incendiary, cluster, explosive, piercing and more. Upgrades like, cluster mod, rapid fire, red cell shot, cooling, power suit and more. So make sure to have the items that will help you like using the knife to attack swat away wasps and have piercing ammo for dealing with Shielder aliens.

So in Let Them Come, players will unlock new weapons and will have to select their loadout. Some levels are very dark and so you must use explosions and tracer fire to see and counter the horde strategically. Off course there is an online leaderboard for competitive reasons. There is a boombox that allows players to decide what music they want to listen to as they blast away aliens. There are also some powerful and dangerous bosses that are ferocious. They will not go down easy at all. If you haven’t guessed it yet, Let Them Come is a pixel art game so it’s pixel graphics.

Overall, Let Them Come is a very cool game. It’s done well and the humour is there. Lots of weapons and options, Nice music and gives us choice of it. Many different aliens to fight. It does it well. The developers ‘Tuatara Games’ did a great job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to this. Let Them Come might be worth checking out. Sure, let them come but what’s always here is… the ‘Earth Walk!’.
