Attack of the Earthlings is a turn-based strategy game with stealth elements, developed by Team Junkfish and released in 2018 for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Set on Planet X13, it casts players as the Swarmers, an aggressive insectoid species fighting back against Galactoil, a bumbling energy corporation bent on strip-mining the universe for profit. Gameplay revolves around careful tactical planning — ambushing workers from vents and hiding spots, seizing control of unsuspecting humans, and coordinating group assaults to eliminate multiple enemies at once. Fallen workers can be consumed and converted into new Swarmer units, each with distinct roles and abilities, making kills a resource as much as a goal. The single-player campaign carries a dark comedic tone, featuring voice actor SungWon Cho as the gloriously incompetent Regional Manager Dennis Dickinham. The original soundtrack was composed by Mikolai Stroinski, known for his work on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
