About Super Mutant Alien Assault
Three fleets of spaceships flee a doomed Earth carrying the last humans in cryostasis. Pursued by aliens, it’s up to the lowly security droids to save humanity. Taking up arms solo or with a friend, you must dance with death in a brutal and addictive arcade platformer shooter inspired by Super Crate Box and stuffed to the brim with unlockables.
Fight through rapid fire single screen levels each with a random combination of platform layout, objective, vending machines and enemies. Dodge and weave amongst the aliens to stay alive but don’t leave them standing too long or the ship’s radiation will mutate them into bigger, nastier versions.
Only by unlocking and mastering the wild variety of weapons, explosives, special abilities, defense moves and perks can you hope to survive across all three galaxies, rid your ship of the mutant menace and save the oblivious humans.
- rapid fire levels give you no rest as hordes of enemies arrive, hell-bent on your destruction. Clear the objective quickly and be sure to kill each enemy before it has the chance to mutate into a bigger, nastier version of itself. Take a tiny breather and then it’s on to the next room.
- in the tight confines of the space freighter, standing still is not an option. Your ability to dodge around enemies is as important as your aim. Survival requires quick thinking and rapid reflexes and a true master of the dance is a beautiful thing to behold.
- each single screen level is randomised, drawing on a pool of platform layouts, objective types and enemies as well as which vending machines will be present. You’ll never know which weapons or grenades will spawn in the vending machines whilst crate drops containing special abilities, sidearms, perks and defense moves are also random, adding further to the mind-boggling possible combinations.
- a wealth of weapons, sidearms, special abilities, perks, explosives, defense moves and character skins awaits you. Each new unlockable joins the melting pot of random ingredients, increasing your options but also the need to master each individual element and the way they combine with each other.
- take on the mutant hordes by yourself or team up in local co-op. Two player adds further complications to master as you must be careful to avoid friendly fire from explosives and will have to share/fight over item and health pack drops.

What an amazing game! I just bought it because it was on sale and it looked colorful and dope and it ended up being both. By it, this developer deserves the money.1 found this helpful
Super Mutant Alien Assault is a compact but remarkably energetic action-platformer developed by Cybernate and published by Surprise Attack. Built around the principles of old-school arcade design, the game throws players into a desperate battle aboard humanity's last surviving spacecraft, where relentless waves of mutated alien creatures threaten the future of the species. Rather than relying on an elaborate narrative, the game focuses on delivering immediate excitement through fast movement, constant danger, and an endless stream of split-second decisions. Its straightforward premise serves as a perfect foundation for a gameplay experience centered on survival, mastery, and replayability. What immediately stands out is how effectively the game combines platforming and shooting mechanics. Every stage is packed with hazards, enemies, and objectives that demand constant attention. Players are rarely given a moment to relax, as alien creatures emerge from multiple directions while mission requirements continuously shift. Whether repairing systems, transporting valuable resources, defending critical ship components, or simply surviving overwhelming assaults, every task feels urgent. T…
As the description for Super Mutant Alien Assault claims it is the Citizen Kane of Super Crate Box clones. I have much more time on this game on another platform, so this review has a few more hours of gameplay than my Steam time played stat would suggest. Overall I give Super Mutant Alien Assault a solid B for a pick up and play game. There is not quite enough here to play for hours straight, but if you enjoy arcade style action, this is a blast for 10 or 15 min at a time. I picked it up on a deep discount sale, and feel really good about having given this Dev a few dollars to support this game. If you ever played Super Crate Box, and want a slightly more modern take with a few more bells and whistles, this is a solid pickup.
It is good solid arcade for a brief solo or coop run. 20-30 min to play with your small nephew or something like that. Pretty much things to unlock and difficulty levels for a challenge.
Tried Super Box Crate because I liked the idea of it but hated it. Way too hard for me! Played this instead and loved it. I'm writing this after finally beating the normal run from the start on 1 player. I think this would be fun as a 2 player game. Still worth buying in 2025!
Great game
