Verdict (★★★★★★☆☆☆☆)
Alien Food Invasion has been a joy to experience in short bursts, but it still can’t seem to scratch the itch that I’d love it to. However, the repetitiveness may leave us feeling empty and restless. Even so, it is something that is pretty easy to pick up.
So, definitely pick this up and give it a try to see what you think about it, especially if you’re into the roguelike genre.
