I accidentally stumbled onto this game, and thought it sounded like fun. I simply had no idea.
This is a 'strategy' game, so in order to accomplish your missions, you need to try to think ahead and determine what you need to meet your goals, and manage your resources effectively to reach those goals. There are three species or races living on the planet, the muscular, blue, Pims, the insectlike Sajiki, and the gorgeous, curvaceous Amazons.
You decide which race you will control, and by default you will interact with the other two. There are 10 missions or so for each race, plus the capability to play a 'neverending game', and multiplayer games.
Basically, you found a city, build a school to train workers in various skills, houses in which workers live, and other structures where they perform their jobs, or just go to relax, worship, etc.
Each race establishes their villages from the ground up, meaning that they must first build a school to train workers, who in turn chop wood, mine rocks or metal, to build structures. Workers also have to go to school to learn to grow crops. Each race grows their own food, if you don't have sufficient plantations your people will go hungry. The Pims grow mushrooms, Amazons grow cocoa, and Sajiki cultivate maggots.
These foods are also used to produce products for export to the other two nations, mushroom juice, chocolate cupcakes, and maggot lollipops.
From time to time, you need to defend your cities against attack, or attack other cities. Each race has it's own unique weapons to use in combat. One of the Pims greatest weapons is the Hammer Man, who weilds a mighty mallet.
The Sajiki are into genetic engineering, and breed nightmarish monsters which throw fireballs, etc.
The Amazons have, among their skills, the ability to become powerful sorceresses, creating explosive potions which destroy almost anything.
Maximum power of each army is roughly the same, so the winner in a given combat depends on how you deploy your troops.
In addition to a mighty offensive army, you can also build a network of defensive guard towers from which approaching enemies are shot before they can get near.
The game contains a limited opportunity for diplomacy, you can send diplomats to negotiate for peace, or to declare war.
Each race has unique costumes depending on their job, so an Amazon huntress dresses differently from either a Pim or a Sajiki hunter. Also, she uses a bow and arrow, while the Pim uses a spear, and the Sajiki uses a curved slashing tool. Similar differences exist, not only in costume, but in building styles, which helps keep the game from looking monotonous.
I played all the missions, and enjoyed the game very much.

I thought that amazons and aliens was a great game. The graffics were not quite up to my standars and thats why I gave it four starts but because of the addictive gameplay, it was really fun. One of the better parts of the game was the pro animation and character movement. Once i had played the game, I couldn't quit. I was determined to beat the whole game in one sitting. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. whenever i was not playing the game, i was just thinking about when i was playing the game. Thus the term addictive. But i still can't get over why the makers of the game didn't put a little more effort into making the graffics lifelike.

Great game

This game is a Real Time Strategy Game. You know, the basics. Build a town, gather food, gather gold and stone, buil an army, build alliances, fight wars. But it has a few flaws. If you like to just start out and blow the smithereens out of your opponents early on, you won't like this game. And if you don't like hard management of your town and armys, you won't like this game. Also a few flaws like workers don't automatically take time off getting stone for building. Also u need a lot of free not needed workers to "transport" the supplies to the building site. It is not like command and conquer where you just click where you want it and it pops up. Or where just one truck or person builds it. For a large building you need 20 workers. And with workers you need houses. But you need wokers to build houses.

Not that good

I much preferred Settlers III. This game has the same idea, with scantilcy clad Amazons thrown into the mix.

It's hard to figure out, and there is a distinct tendancy for you to get killed quickly, so I was not able to explore anything past the basic advances. You're better off giving this one a miss.
