Planetary annihilation commences on January 27.
I already feel like I’m trapped in the middle of a game called Earth Must Die, one where the rules make no sense and I have zero control over how it’s all going to end. Perhaps that’s why I’m excited for the latest comedy adventure of the same name from Size Five Games, which has just announced that it’ll let you embark on a mission of planetary destruction later this month.
Earth Must Die wraps you in the silken robe of VValek Lizardtongue, a megalomaniacal alien nepo baby who has just inherited the kingdom of Tyrythia from his father. Unfortunately, he’s instantly lost control of his realm due to the invasion of robotic Terranoids that killed his father in the first instance. Naturally, Vvalek decides to take his frustration out on Earth, for reasons we’ll presumably discover while playing.
Like Size Five’s previous game Lair of the Clockwork God, Earth Must Die is inspired primarily by the comedy point ‘n’ click adventure games of the ’90s.
