Video games are no stranger to alien threats. We’ve seen too many games to count where space marines land on an exoplanet and promptly start gunning down some sort of hard-charging xenomorph, or a Earth-based resistance movement fends off hordes of Martians as they defend their home planet down to the last bullet.
