Read full description
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? If they did, might they have come here to escape some cataclysmic event on their home planet? Or perhaps… to prevent one from happening on ours?
What if it were true?
Based on HISTORY’s longest running TV show, Ancient Aliens, Ancient Aliens: The Game explores the endless possibilities in our universe!
Play as a reluctant alien-human hybrid in this casual strategy city building game. Manage your resources and strategize carefully as you discover the story-driven experience as aliens shape ancient Egyptian culture.
Don’t hesitate to research strange new information, task your citizens with buildings and constructions, and engineer with alien technology. The fate of the Earth might depend on it!
Inspired by the famous theory that aliens were the true pioneers of ancient Egyptian culture, Ancient Aliens: The Game puts you in direct contact with those very extraterrestrials. Tasked with overseeing the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, you will uncover long-buried evidence along with an ancient astronaut theorist—and learn the truth from the aliens themselves!
Abduct primitive humans, manipulate their DNA, and help them establish modern civilization as you exploit Earth's mineral wealth. But it won’t be easy. To build something as colossal as the Pyramid of Giza, you’ll need to build houses and farms, advance human technology, and more.
So take on Ancient Aliens: The Game! Manage your strategy in this casual simulation game, build your city, and save the planet!
