GameSpewRobert GammonFeb 20179/10The slick, fun gameplay coupled with the brilliantly nostalgic visuals and sound effects is immensely enjoyable – and especially considering its ridiculously cheap asking price, I can’t recommend it enough.

GamingTrendElisha DeograciasFeb 201785/100Aliens Go Home Run is a title that packs a punch and has the balls to mix Breakout with shoot-em-up action. It’s a game that aims to be a fun little diversion, and accomplishes that goal quite well. At $4, it’s a must buy for anyone looking for a palate cleanser in the sea of AAA games.

GameGrinGary SheppardApr 20178/10Aliens Go Home Run is a cracking little arcade inspired title. Mixing elements of Breakout, Galaxian and Baseball, it provides a familiar concept, but one that does something a little bit different. It's a game that you can pick up and play right away, but will take forever to become an expert in.

The Digital FixRob KershawFeb 20177/10A fun, colourful throwback to yesteryear whose quirky charm and addictive gameplay just about outweigh its issues.

Cubed3David KellyFeb 20177/10Aliens Go Home Run is a solid package and injects new life into the genre, presenting a unique and enjoyable game with elements of the bat and ball genre, while requiring bullet-dodging skills of 2D shooting games. There is enough variety as levels progress to keep the player motivated, and the score attack aspect and the custom level feature may keep the dedicated coming back once the last level is completed.
