Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed

Overview

Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed is a third-person action-adventure shooter developed by Black Forest Games and published by THQ Nordic. Set in a fictional version of 1960s Earth, it follows alien invader Crypto as he seeks revenge on the KGB after they destroy his mothership. His campaign also calls for making alliances with the humans he came to enslave.

The premise puts alien weaponry and a saucer at the center of a globe-spanning mission. Crypto can use familiar weapons alongside newer technology, including the Meteor Shower, while exploring fictional cities and defending a larger, more open world from opponents trying to disrupt his plans.

Released in 2022, the game is part of the work of Black Forest Games. Its focus is a story campaign, with options for solo play or local split-screen co-op.

Key features

Weapons, saucer and progression

Crypto’s arsenal combines classic weapons with newer tools such as the Meteor Shower. The saucer offers another way to attack across the game’s fictional cities. Players can also collect humans from different countries and process them into DNA cocktails to upgrade Crypto’s skills.

A more open setting

The game frames its action around a larger, more open world than the description’s earlier missions suggest. Its setting draws on the 1960s, but the cities are fictional, and the campaign’s conflict centers on Crypto’s revenge against the KGB.

Local co-op

The full story can be played in local two-player split-screen co-op, as well as in single-player. Steam also lists Remote Play Together, alongside multiplayer, co-op, shared-screen co-op, and shared-screen support.

Platforms

The listed platforms are Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X|S. Steam’s platform listing specifies Windows. Steam features include full controller support, achievements, trading cards, and Steam Cloud.

Who it's for

This is a fit for players looking for a third-person shooter with an alien lead, a story-driven campaign, and a fictional 1960s setting. Its local split-screen option may also suit two people who want to play through the story together on one screen. The listed Steam features provide additional options for playing and tracking progress, but the game’s core appeal is its campaign, weapons, saucer action, and skill upgrades.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Offers both single-player and a full-story local two-player split-screen co-op option.

Verdict

Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed centers on an unusual mix of alien invasion, revenge, saucer combat, and progression through collected DNA. Its clearest practical distinction is that the full story supports local split-screen co-op, while solo play is also available. Players choosing it should note the listed platform range—Windows and Xbox Series X|S—and that the specified co-op support is local rather than online.
