What Aliens vs. Ghosts is
This is a wave-based first-person shooter where you play as an Invader of Earth. The only thing standing between you and your invasion is a horde of Ghosts, so your job is to hold them off with heavy firepower. The game is in Early Access, so expect it to still be in development. You can play it solo or with others online.
How your group plays it together
Online Co-op lets you and your friends fight the Ghosts side by side. Everyone picks a class and their own upgrades, so a group can mix and match builds rather than everyone running the same loadout. Since it is wave-based, you survive as long as you can against the incoming hordes. The question the game keeps asking is simple: how long can your group survive?
What to know before starting
The upgrade tree is where the game opens up. You can build around an upgradeable Exoskeleton, Portable Nuke Launchers, and Giant Robot minions, or call in UFOs that fly around blasting through Ghosts. Your tools include Nukes, Electricity, Heat Rays, and powerful Minions you summon to fight for you. Classes and upgrades are a core part of the loop, so expect to experiment with different builds across runs. It is a 3D, stylized shooter with a sci-fi combat setting, and the Early Access label means content and balance can change as development continues.
