It Came From The Desert

Developer: Cinemaware

It Came From The Desert thrusts you into a pulpy, B-movie world where small-town desert life is overrun by giant mutant ants. Mixing exploration, tense top-down combat, and action-packed side-scrolling set pieces, the game emphasizes time-sensitive objectives, resource management, and memorable boss encounters. Players investigate clues, recruit allies and mount assaults on insect lairs while the town slowly descends into chaos. Nostalgic cinematic presentation and varied gameplay loops create a crunchy, challenging single-player experience that rewards curiosity, quick thinking, and gritty shootouts against swarms of relentless foes.
