Review: Farm Invasion USA

Farm Invasion USA was just updated for controller support.

In this game, you play as a farmer trying to protect your farm from alien invaders. Accomplishing this tasks involves driving your corn harvester as far as you can through your corn fields, shooting every alien you can find with a shotgun, while simultaneously dodging obstacles and collecting power ups.

Farm Invasion is fun enough when it works, but it’s extremely buggy. After my first run through, the game crashed immediately, then refused to play again without immediately crashing. This bug can be worked around somewhat by enabling Airplane Mode.

The game is free to play with a giant ad banner on the top of the display, with an in-app purchase available to remove the ads. The in-game currency (Popcorn) can also be purchased in varying capacities. Of course, neither can be purchased in Airplane mode; fans of the game should hope for a quick fix to the bugs.

As a free game, Farm Invasion is worth a download. Just expect to uninstall it fairly quickly if you encounter game-breaking bugs, or decide you don’t enjoy it enough to remove the ads.
