Earthfall is a lot like Left 4 Dead. But instead of shooting zombies, you are shooting aliens who came out of a meteorite that hit the Pacific Northwest. The game might very well seem derivative, but developer Holospark is taking care to make sure that the title has its own unique signature.

For starters, the game has a lot of backstory about the aliens and what they’re doing with this meteorite invasion of Earth. Each co-op mission that you play will reveal another piece of the puzzle, and when all is finished, you’ll understand why the aliens have crashed our party, said Russell Williams, CEO of Bellevue, Wash.-based Holospark.
