Size Five Games is set to launch Earth Must Die, a comedy adventure that invites players into the chaotic world of Vvalek Lizardtongue, an alien nepo baby with a penchant for planetary destruction. The game, inspired by the comedy point-and-click adventures of the '90s, boasts modern animation and a stellar voice cast that includes notable names from British comedy and video games.
The voice cast is led by Ben Starr, known for his role in Final Fantasy 16, alongside Alex Horne, creator and co-host of Taskmaster. Other prominent voices include Matthew Holness, creator of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, and Tamsin Greig from Black Books and Green Wing. Vvalek Lizardtongue is voiced by Joel Fry, recognized for his roles in Game of Thrones and Our Flag Means Death.
Earth Must Die promises to be a unique blend of humor and adventure, leveraging the strengths of its talented voice cast. The game's inspiration from classic adventures adds a layer of nostalgia, while modern elements ensure it stands out in today's gaming landscape. With a release date set for January 27, players have a chance to experience this comedy adventure firsthand.
A demo is available on Steam for those eager to get a taste before the full game's launch. This strategic move allows potential players to evaluate the game's quality and mechanics without a significant time or financial commitment.
Earth Must Die is poised to make a significant impact, especially given the current trend of voice-driven games gaining traction post-Baldur's Gate 3. The game's unique premise and talented cast position it well to find its audience among both comedy enthusiasts and adventure game fans alike.
