Developed by Loomiarts, in collaboration with the film production company Fehorama Filmes, publisher WhisperGames has announced Squad 51 vs. The Flying Saucers, a brand new fast-paced 2D shooter. The concept and execution is very reminiscent of Cuphead, but instead of being based on cartoons from the 30s, it’s stylized like a live-action sci-fi movie from the 50s. It will be released for Nintendo Switch in Fall 2022, with an exact date yet to be confirmed. Check out the reveal trailer above and details below.
A group of extraterrestrials called the Vega Corporation one day visit earth to provide unlimited resources to earth to help the human race endure.
