Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers Reviewed by Cyril Lachel on . If you grew up loving cheesy alien invasion films from the 1950s, then let me introduce you to Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers. This side-scrolling shoot ‘em up plays out like a love letter to Plan Nine from Outer Space, complete with full-motion video cinemas and a story that isn’t afraid to dive head-first into the absurd. Yet, even with the overacting and cheap effects, this classic shooter manages to be memorable in all of the best ways. While some hardcore shoot ‘em up experts may turn their noses up at the slightly easier difficulty and style over substance, there’s no doubt that Squad 51 is one of the most unique shooters you’ll play this year. This is a stylish and accessible shooter that should appeal to pretty much anybody who likes shooting down UFOs on strings. Rating: 85%
