Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed

Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed is a third-person sci-fi action sandbox for PC, developed by Black Forest Games and published by THQ Nordic. The current storefront name remains Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed; no verified PC rebrand or replacement edition supersedes it. You play Cryptosporidium-138, an alien invader seeking revenge against the KGB while manipulating, terrorizing, and occasionally cooperating with humanity.

This is a remake built around destructive freedom rather than realistic military combat. Its appeal comes from combining psychic abilities, alien weapons, body snatching, saucer attacks, open-world exploration, and crude science-fiction comedy in a campaign that can also be played in local split-screen co-op.

Psychic warfare in a third-person sandbox

The main gameplay loop moves between story missions, optional activities, exploration, and upgrades. Crypto enters human settlements, investigates objectives, eliminates hostile forces, gathers Furon DNA, and returns to the action with stronger abilities and more flexible equipment.

Combat uses a third-person camera and gives Crypto several ways to control a fight. His Psychokinesis can lift, throw, slam, or manipulate people and objects, while the Cortex Scan reads human thoughts and helps expose information relevant to missions or disguises.

Body snatching adds a social-stealth layer to the otherwise explosive action. Crypto can take over human bodies, use disguises to move through selected situations, and switch between infiltration and open violence when the disguise stops being useful.

The arsenal covers close-range alien tools and larger destructive weapons. The Anal Probe, Zap-o-Matic, Disintegrator Ray, and Ion Detonator each create different combat rhythms, while the Meteor Shower gives Crypto a more spectacular area-destruction option.

Players who prefer constant movement can combine levitation, jetpack traversal, mind control, weapon switching, and environmental destruction. The game does not use a traditional cover-shooter structure, so positioning and ability selection matter more than carefully holding a defensive line.

Five locations with different kinds of trouble

The campaign travels through fictionalized locations inspired by the late 1960s. Bay City provides a dense urban setting shaped by counterculture, Albion brings a British environment with landmarks and cult activity, and Takoshima adds a Japanese-inspired location with ninjas and contrasting architecture.

Tunguska shifts the tone toward frozen wilderness, KGB installations, and military laboratories. Solaris then takes the action beyond ordinary city streets, giving the campaign a more unusual setting built around space travel and zero-gravity encounters.

These locations are not just linear corridors. Each functions as a more open playground where Crypto can move between mission objectives, human populations, military targets, collectibles, and optional destruction. The result is closer to a mission-driven sandbox than a seamless role-playing world.

Crypto's flying saucer expands the scale of the destruction. The upgraded saucer can attack buildings, vehicles, and groups of enemies from above, giving the campaign a second combat perspective instead of treating the spacecraft as simple transportation.

The saucer and Crypto also progress through upgrades. Harvested human DNA feeds the improvement system, allowing players to strengthen abilities and make familiar powers more effective as the campaign introduces tougher encounters.

Story co-op and local multiplayer reality

The full story supports two-player local split-screen co-op. A second player controls another Crypto, allowing both players to fight through campaign missions, explore the available environments, and create more disorder than the solo format.

PC players should distinguish local co-op from native online multiplayer. The storefront feature set identifies shared or split-screen play and Steam Remote Play Together, but the game does not present a separate online campaign service or dedicated server ecosystem.

Remote Play Together can extend the local co-op design through Steam's streaming feature, but the underlying mode remains built around shared-screen play rather than a persistent online world.

Several competitive and challenge-oriented activities are also available through the game's broader content model. The Challenge Accepted DLC adds Rampage, Race, Armageddon, and Abduction modes, with local split-screen support and mutators that alter the rules.

Base game, add-ons, and editions

Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed is sold as a paid standalone game rather than a free-to-play or seasonal product. The base purchase focuses on the campaign, open-world locations, Crypto's powers, saucer missions, collectibles, and local co-op.

The current PC storefront catalog identifies three separate add-ons: the Challenge Accepted DLC, the Skin Pack, and the Official Orchestral Score. A bundled Dressed to Skill Edition combines the base game with these extras and a digital art book.

The Skin Pack is cosmetic rather than a new campaign expansion. It adds ten Crypto skins and four saucer skins, including deliberately absurd outfits that change presentation without altering the underlying combat systems.

Challenge Accepted is the meaningful gameplay add-on. Its four modes create score-driven and rule-based activities that sit outside the main story, while the mutators provide optional variations for repeat sessions.

This content structure makes the standard edition the straightforward choice for players interested primarily in the campaign. The bundled edition is more relevant to completionists, co-op groups, and players who want additional challenge modes after finishing story content.

Who should play it on PC?

Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed suits players who want a mischievous power fantasy with a villain protagonist, exaggerated weapons, open-ended destruction, and a campaign that does not take its alien premise seriously.

It is especially effective for players who enjoy switching between stealth, psychic manipulation, direct gunplay, and saucer bombardment instead of repeating one weapon pattern. The upgrade loop also gives human harvesting a practical purpose beyond simple spectacle.

Players who want a more body-focused open-world action game can compare its transformation and predatory power fantasy with shapeshifting third-person sandbox action like Prototype, although Reprobed is more comedic and less horror-driven.

The game is less suitable for anyone seeking a serious science-fiction narrative, competitive online multiplayer, deep role-playing choices, or a highly systematic stealth simulator. Its humor is deliberately crude, and the mission design repeatedly returns to destruction, disguise, combat, and collection.

For another exaggerated predator fantasy with evolution-based upgrades, open-world action built around consuming enemies and evolving new abilities in Maneater offers a useful comparison, though its underwater structure is very different.

PC features, controls, and localization

The PC editions support keyboard and mouse play as well as controllers. Steam lists full controller support, Steam Cloud, Steam Achievements, Steam Trading Cards, Family Sharing, and Remote Play Together alongside the shared-screen co-op features.

The game is distributed through storefront clients such as Steam and Epic Games Store. Storefront listings identify Unreal Engine technology, but no official mod tools or dedicated mod-support ecosystem is presented as part of the PC product.

Steam's current language information lists English and German full audio, with interface and subtitle support extending to French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Traditional Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, and Persian.

No anti-cheat system is identified in the current storefront materials, which fits the game's primarily single-player and local multiplayer design. There is also no separate competitive online infrastructure to maintain.

Players comparing social sandbox games may also consider comedy-driven third-person open-world mayhem with local and multiplayer-oriented chaos in Saints Row 2. Reprobed remains more focused on alien abilities, psychic combat, and saucer destruction than on vehicles, gang management, or character customization.
