Let Them Come is a fast paced pixel art shoot ‘em up. Twitchy trigger fingers and focused battle tactics are the order of the day as wave after wave of alien-like creatures try to take you down.
As the last surviving space marine aboard an overrun spacecraft, the player takes control of Rock Gunar, manning a stationary machine gun to mow down wave after wave of diverse alien enemies rushing towards the player's position. The core gameplay loop is fast-paced and intense, requiring the player to rapidly fire their weapon to fend off the unrelenting alien onslaught.
A key strength of the gameplay is the ability to upgrade and customize Rock Gunar's arsenal. Players accumulate in-game currency by defeating enemies, which they can then spend on a variety of upgrades, such as increased firing rate, better weapon cooling, specialized ammunition types (e.g. armor piercing, explosive), throwable grenades, and melee weapons. This deep progression system allows players to experiment with different loadout combinations to find the optimal setup for tackling the alien hordes.
Integral to the gameplay is the combo system. As players rapidly eliminate enemies, a combo meter fills up. Once the meter is full, players are granted a random temporary ability, such as unlimited ammo, increased damage, or a defensive drone. Mastering the combo system and timing the use of these powerful temporary abilities is crucial for overcoming particularly challenging waves of enemies.
The game features a diverse array of alien enemy types, each with their own unique behaviors and attack patterns. Some enemies rush straight at the player, while others crawl on walls or ceilings, or even lay eggs that hatch smaller creatures. Adapting to these different enemy types and learning their weaknesses is an integral part of the gameplay, often requiring players to switch up their tactics and utilize specialized ammunition or melee attacks to take them down efficiently.
At the end of every 25 waves, players must face off against a formidable boss creature. These boss battles require careful observation of the boss's attack patterns and the use of appropriate weapons and strategies to defeat them. The boss encounters add a layer of challenge and variety to the gameplay, preventing the experience from becoming too repetitive.
While the main campaign can be completed in 2-3 hours, the game offers a high degree of replayability. After finishing the campaign, players can unlock a New Game+ mode with increased difficulty and new challenges to overcome. Additionally, the game features an endless mode where players can compete for high scores on online leaderboards, further incentivizing repeated playthroughs and the optimization of the player's loadout and tactics.
