About Destroy All Humans!

Destroy All Humans! returns as a remake that puts players in the role of Crypto‑137, an alien invader in 1950s America. The single‑player adventure blends humor with action as you harvest DNA, sabotage the U.S. government, and unleash alien weaponry.

Explore fully rebuilt 50s cities, use a jetpack, psychokinetic powers, and a flying saucer to cause chaos. The game also adds the previously unreleased Lost Mission of Area 42, expanding the classic alien‑invasion story.

01 / THE GUIDE

Alien Weaponry

Crypto‑137 wields a variety of alien armaments, including the Anal Probe Gun, which provides a comedic yet destructive option against humans. These weapons are designed to annihilate enemies and create mayhem throughout the 1950s settings.

The arsenal also features psychic abilities that let you hurl enemies or launch random objects, adding a chaotic layer to combat. Each tool emphasizes the game's blend of humor and over‑the‑top destruction.

  • Experiment with the Anal Probe Gun for both crowd control and comedic effect.
  • Combine psychic throws with other weapons to maximize enemy disruption.

02 / THE GUIDE

City Exploration

The remake offers freely traversable 1950s American cities, allowing players to roam urban environments at will. Jetpack usage lets you reach rooftops and other elevated spots, encouraging thorough exploration.

Exploration is not limited to ground level; the flying saucer provides aerial access to destroy architecture and view the world from above. This dual‑mode movement supports varied approaches to mission objectives.

  • Use the jetpack to scout rooftops before engaging ground targets.
  • Switch to the saucer for a broader view of city layouts.

Psychic Abilities

Crypto‑137 possesses psychokinetic powers that let you manipulate objects and enemies from a distance. These abilities can send foes flying or hurl random items as projectiles.

Psychic attacks serve both as combat tools and as a means to interact with the environment, reinforcing the game's chaotic tone while offering alternative strategies to conventional weapon fire.

  • Target groups of enemies with psychokinesis for efficient crowd control.
  • Use objects in the environment as improvised projectiles.

04 / THE GUIDE

Lost Mission of Area 42

The remake includes the previously rumored Lost Mission of Area 42, adding new content to the classic storyline. This mission expands the narrative, offering fresh objectives and locations within the alien‑invasion framework.

Players can experience additional plot elements and challenges that were not part of the original release, deepening the overall experience without altering the core gameplay loop.

  • Approach the Lost Mission as a continuation of the main story for narrative cohesion.
  • Take note of new enemy placements unique to Area 42.
