Description

Crypto-137 is a sharp-tongued alien sent to Earth to recover Furon DNA from its unsuspecting human population. Guided by Orthopox, he investigates military secrets and small-town paranoia across a satirical version of 1950s America, treating the planet’s supposed superiority with very little respect.

Destroy All Humans! for Xbox One is the 2020 remake of the original alien-invasion action adventure. Rebuilt visuals accompany missions that alternate between infiltration, ground combat and flying-saucer destruction. Its mixture of exaggerated science fiction and mischievous humour preserves the spirit of a classic console-era troublemaker.

• Crypto combines unusual firearms with destructive psychic abilities. Telekinesis turns people and objects into improvised weapons, while his jetpack adds mobility to ground encounters.
• Human disguises provide an alternative to immediate destruction. Mind-reading and other mental powers support missions involving information gathering and infiltration.
• The flying saucer takes the invasion above the streets. Powerful ship weapons can demolish buildings, shifting the scale from individual skirmishes to widespread urban destruction.
