Upload Aliens

Upload Aliens is a combo-based action game with pixel art visuals that combine dystopian and darkly comic themes. Players control a cyberpunk knight who must dodge incoming bullets and slash enemies as they fall from above. Struck enemies can be sent flying into the boss to deal damage, so players have to decide quickly between dodging and attacking. Each wave brings different enemies and bosses, and the combinations change as the player progresses.

The game uses roguelite mechanics. Players unlock new robots and abilities by progressing through stages, and these can be combined in different ways. Stats can be upgraded and equipment slots expanded to carry more robots and abilities. Players can also exclude abilities they do not want, which lets them shape their preferred loadout.

Combat is tied to music. Enemies and combat effects move to the beat across a variety of tracks. The game features several maps, each with its own atmosphere, enemies and gameplay mechanics. Its story is told visually through the environments rather than through text. Both keyboard and gamepad controls are fully supported.
