Buy 1917: The Alien Invasion DX PC key

1917: The Alien Invasion DX is a memorization shooter with the fast action of a bullet hell shoot ’em up. You play as Dr. Brunhild Stahlmüller, a weapon scientist who pilots the Red Beezlebub, a WWI triplane upgraded with alien technology, from the battlefields of Verdun to an ancient alien world.

Story

In 1917, aliens descend on Earth on April 15 and attack soldiers and civilians. The exhausted nations put aside their grudges to fight together, but their courage and unity cannot match the invaders’ advanced technology.

Dr. Brunhild Stahlmüller and her assistant, Harmuth Griesgram, develop the Red Beezlebub using existing aeronautical technology and fragments of alien wreckage. The aircraft can fly for extended periods in the atmosphere and travel between stars. With no pilots fit to fly it, Brunhild takes the controls herself and heads for Verdun to confront the Chessmaster, a self-proclaimed king of humanity. She does not know that he is only a piece in a larger game, watched by a hidden player.

Stages and combat

You fight across eight stages, from Verdun to the heart of the alien world, and face large boss encounters. The game includes bloodshed and gore, and has a psychedelic soundtrack.

Pixel art and difficulty

The game uses pixel art inspired by the golden age of arcades and has a difficulty curve designed to be accessible. A digital art book is included.
