Alpacalypse - A better name than a game

| Alpacalypse

When a game featuring an alpaca with a plan to destroy the world is anything but the greatest thing ever, you can’t help but feel disappointed.

Alpacalypse is a simple arcade shooter with plenty of style, just not much in the way of substance.

Basic hold and tap controls mask a brutal difficulty curve, with endless waves of enemies rushing towards you for a one hit kill. Unfortunately there's not enough incentive to adapt to it.

Games like this are all about getting higher scores with each run, and Alpacalypse suffers for not featuring leaderboards or achievements to make improvement feel rewarding.

Alpacalypse does serve up some fast-paced fun, and it looks great, but it's unlikely to hold your attention far beyond your next bus journey.
