Timothy’s analysis against aliens

There is only room for one predominant race in Timothy vs the Aliens

That one day alien beings land in your city wanting to end the human race is always a nuisance. If they also tweak your monochromatic range to introduce different shades, that’s the last straw. Is what happens in Timothy vs the Aliens, an adventure with nuances “noir” where we’ll have to stop the invasion that these slimy masses plan to lead. Can we put an end to their plans? Our guns will have the last word in this regard …

Don’t forget this is my city

The Madrid study Wild sphere He is responsible for all this madness that has landed on our Xbox. In his brief but intense adventure, we will embody Timothy, a little gangster who manages to survive day after day thanks to the powers granted to him as a child. Thanks to these powers, he will be chosen to bring peace to the city of Small town with fish of the arrival of extraterrestrials.

A drink, loneliness and my memories

What is most striking about Timothy vs. Aliens is undoubtedly the the ambience and visual aesthetics. It is true that we are dealing with a small project, but that is not why it lacks details. In this game we can move around the city at will, walking through its streets in search of objects that allow us to achieve our goal of eliminating the great flying saucer that threatens to wipe us from the map.

We will enter directly into the atmosphere thanks to this aesthetic “noir” which shakes up the whole adventure. Despite this lack of colors, everything is perfectly detailed. The quarters of the port, the sewers, the cemetery … each with its own particularities and puzzles to solve. Of course, the touch of color will be given by our enemies to beat …

Return to your galaxy, cephalopod

It’s funny that Timothy Vs Aliens drew me to exploration and puzzles and platforms, and that precisely the extraterrestrials have been a weak point. The idea that our rivals are the only colorful elements in the whole game adds a very interesting twist, but it’s a shame it hasn’t been tapped into a bit more. And we will collect different guns to fill the slimy masses that follow us with lead.

Do not get lost Gigantosaurus: the game, another much more colorful study game where you can control friendly dinosaurs. To find out more about this title, you can access our news clicking here.

Throughout the adventure, We will only encounter four different types of aliens. In a literal way. A well implemented asset in terms of idea and design but which could be something more remarkable if more diversity was included. Also, fighting one of them is not an interesting challenge either, and frequently when we find them scattered around the city, we will avoid clashing to save time and bullets. For not having, there are no more powers beyond bullet time that we will have from the start of the adventure.

There is still the night for a drink

Of course, the rest of the characters who accompany us in the plot that surrounds Timothy vs the Aliens are better implemented. East too bad we don’t put more emphasis on history at a general level, or more precisely at one of these inhabitants. It seems that the “black” environment invites us to know the interior of these people, their impulses and their journey, and we are left in doubt. Fortunately, all this dissolves when we walk around the city, on foot or by car, and contemplate its different neighborhoods and all the secrets, collectibles and challenges that lie ahead.

Let the band start playing

Where the game takes its chest is in its sound section. Its melodies are no longer catchy (which they are) but stick very well to the atmosphere of the game. They will not stop playing at any time, and even in special situations like in the bar, we will listen to others. more well-known pieces on a general level. The negative touch may be the lack of lip sync we see in conversations (sometimes they don’t even open their mouths), but it’s not annoying or a hindrance. By the way, although they speak in English, the game is fully translated into our language.

Timothy’s conclusion against aliens

After having gone through other platforms, it is now the turn of Xbox users to take advantage of this “black” experience. Despite the simplicity of the fights and the aliens blasting us with bullets, there is something about the game that encourages us to keep playing. It is surely because of the decor, its music, its characters or the challenges that we find crumbled by Little Fish City.

Along with the battles that are a bit more streamlined than I would like, I’m also missing a bigger narrative load. It is not that this is necessarily necessary in this type of proposal, but the essence that the game distills seems to invite you to discover more about our protagonist, his friends or the reason for the invasion. It is also true that there is not much time to scratch because of the weather, since in just an hour and a half we will have completed the main adventure. We hope this will serve as an input for a future delivery (which may happens from moment to moment, who knows…).
