Are there any Alien Invasion RPGs/Settings

[Jd Smith1]

By alien invasion I mean straight-up 'War of the World', 'V', Battle for LA' types, not occult-style such as CoC or Tribe 8, or supers.

Seems an under-populated genre.

The Last Caravan is one I picked up recently though I haven't read it closely yet:

It's sad that the first game that came to mind was Cyborg Commandos. Alien invasion is an underserved niche indeed.

• Robotech from Palladium games certainly qualifies. I think someone else published a Robotech game fairly recently.
• Rifts sort of qualifies. The alien invaders are from other dimensions though.
• Conspiracy X is more in the vein of secret invaders than an overt force.
• Dark Conspiracy features aliens, but, again, more in the vein of secret invaders rather than over conquerors.
• Necessary Evil for Savage Worlds. The world's super villains must stop an overt invasion of Earth.

Those are really the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

My thoughts exactly. I guess one stinker of a game brought down the whole genre.

I'm sure GURPS has something.

FFG’s The End of the World: Alien Invasion might do ya right.

GURPS Mars Attacks is a horror-pulp-comedy setting based on the trading card series. It seems to be out of print.

I often suspect that GURPs is a form of alien invasion.

GURPS as an Esoterrorist plot has a certain meta-elegance to it.
