This is a game that fills the little X-Com shape in my heart, but with more emotional trauma.  The basic story is aliens invade and the player is trying to get from one side of the USA to the other. Along the way there are companions to pickup, hats to wear, cars to fix up, and a lot more. The art style suits the game really well in that most things are easy to identify and enemies are quickly identifiable so if threats can be avoided, it only takes a glance to know where to move.

I am still hoping one run I will find a giant bus that can fit all the puppers into it and we can ride off into the sunset.
