X-Morph: Defense is just under a month away from blasting onto the Switch's digital scene, and its premise and gameplay certainly look intriguing.

Blending top-down shooter gameplay with classic tower defence, this one has players taking control of an alien race, unleashing hell upon humans and conquering the Earth for a change. You'll need to steal resources, build mazes for incoming enemies, tear down buildings, and collapse bridges to support your defence, all while utilising a range of alien weapons and defence strategies.

If you like the sound of this one so far, check out the game's official blurb:

An unidentified object crashes into the surface of Earth, in South Africa. Rapid response units are immediately sent to the scene to investigate. This might be the first contact with an alien life form, after all. Upon arrival, all the human vehicles are obliterated by the aliens. Their base expands, covering the Earth with a strange, metallic substance. Your consciousness is transferred to the very core that has just landed on Earth. The mission – harness all the energy on the planet. Protect the core. Destroy all opposition.
