If Ed Wood made a SHMUP. Love old-school shmups? Then you`ll want to put this on your radar. Assemble Entertainment is building a UFO-blasting shmup with some 1950s flair, inspired by old-school sci-fi flicks like War of the Worlds and b-movies like Plan 9 from Outer Space. You play as Lieutenant Kaya, leading an all-out assault against an invading alien threat. Your squadron is all that stands between earth and total annihilation, and you must battle through waves of prop-looking UFOs, complete with some full live-action cutscenes that would make Ed Wood proud. Assemble Entertainment CEO Stefan Marcinek had this to say about Squadron 51 in a press release sent to us earlier today. `We`re huge fans of classic sci-fi horror and we jumped at the opportunity to co-publish Squadron 51 with our partner WhisperGames. Squadron 51 has found a loving home among Assemble Entertainment`s other award-winning titles known for their charming eccentricity. Fans of all genres will appreciate...
