Each R2G title is a tribute to a single hit game from the ’90s: a reimagining of a single universal story for a brand-new audience, using modern means and innovative, often vastly simplified gameplay mechanics.
Book of Aliens is developed as a tribute to MicroProse’ UFO: Enemy Unknown. If you want to learn more about Return 2 Games or support us in the development of the series, visit the Supporter Pack store page:
