There have always been wars, but this war you will never forget. Like the plague, galaxy invaders will attack the earth and leave only a fallout wasteland after them. Aliens are attacking as never before! Pathetic earthlings can’t avoid the invasion. So they have to prepare their primitive weapons, missiles, tanks – everything that can help them survive this clash. Ten alien species are available to you: -Greys -Repriloids -Insectoids -Egyptian gods -Psychotrons -Biomorphes -Energy beings -Machines -Galaxy Council -USSR – United Space Socialistic Republics More than fifty strategic variants to invade the earth are available to you. Big upgrade trees enable you to evolve in the middle of your invasion company. Aliens vs. Earthlings – a banal theme for any movie, game, whether strategy or action. A banal theme turned upside down that will make you feel as a leader of an alien invasion army. It’s up to you how to proceed. Forward, my space general! Lead your army to victory! Be the plague, be the epidemic, evolve, kill, conquer!

My main complaint(the major reason why I’m rating the game is the hope that the developer can fix this.) I go to buy the paid races and nothing happens. I’m not sure if it was from the most recent update half a year ago, but I’m the first to rate the game and write a review in a long while, it seems. I’m obviously going to buy it if it gets fixed. Overall a great game, though! ### 3/5 — In game purchases? *2026-05-19, version 152* Are we not allowed to buy characters in game? ### 2/5 — Can’t buy characters *2026-02-01, version 152* I bought the ussr and won but I can’t buy any of the other characters after ### 4/5 — Too hard *2026-01-28* The game is fun but medium is too hard, getting a win is Basicly imposible, so i would ask Kindly that you please fix it? Other than that it’s a grate game ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-01-17* To the creator(s) of this game, thank you for updating it, this is one of the first mobile games I ever played and it became my favorite. I don’t know when I stopped playing this but I JUST NOW redownloaded it and saw the new characters. Please I ask of you, keep this game alive, do what you can to keep it alive by doing THE BEST YOU CAN, I say this to EVERYONE, do what you can to the best of your ability, don’t rush things, take your time. Again thank you for keeping the game alive and please continue to add new characters and gimmicks. ### 5/5 — Love This Game! *2024-07-24* I’m enjoying this game…HOWEVER, nothing happens when I press “buy” on your new characters. Cats, Cult of Ancients, Fourth Riech, Tech Priests and Necromorphs are un-purchasable in the App Store. It doesn’t say if I need crystals or cash, nor how much of either one of them I need in order to buy each of them so it would also be great if you could fix that…the BUY button just turns green and whatever before acting like I didn’t push it in the first place. I just took a gamble and spent $9 hoping to get a shortcut with the crystals to buy at least one of them, but nothing happened. I REALLY want the Cats, Cult of The Ancients, and the Necromorphs. I ESPECIALLY want the Cult of the Ancients. Also, would it kill you to make this MORE like Plague Inc? You know what I’m talking about. I want the option to have unlimited SP like a god! I want to get ALL the upgrades at the start of the game! Oh, and the option to continue taking over the earth as races such as the Egyptian Gods after reaching their objective would be great. ### 5/5 — Love This Game! *2024-06-18* I’m enjoying this game…HOWEVER, nothing happens when I press “buy” on your new characters.

I WANT THEM. This is an issue happening with the App Store, I don’t know if the same is happening with Google Play, which I don’t use or know how to use. ### 3/5 — 😭 *2024-06-05* Come on, man…you can’t just add new races without giving me the ability to ACTUALLY buy them in any way when I tap and press “buy”! Especially if one of them is Lovecraftian in nature! You’re a MONSTER! Make sure the additional purchases in your app are properly connected to the App Store so people can buy them. I already got the USSR super-human race years ago and I DEFINITELY want more. ### 5/5 — Jesus loves you *2023-07-14, version 1.0* Jesus loves you ## Frequently asked questions about X ### What is X-CORE.
