''Destroy All Humans!'' is set in the United States in the late 1950s and consists of six settings; ''Turnipseed Farm'' (a Southern farm community in

). All buildings and structures in these environments can be destroyed (save for trees and rocks), and humans can become alarmed by Crypto's presence at these locations. While some run or hide, others are armed and fight back. An alert system, much like '' Grand Theft Auto's'' "wanted level," denotes how much attention Crypto has attracted. Depending on the alert level, police, military, and eventually the Majestic will attempt to defend civilians from Crypto. Neutral NPCs frequently refer to pop culture of the 1950s, such as the Edsel,

Plot

The U.S. Army later captures Crypto-136. Sometime later, Cryptosporidium-137 travels to Earth with another Furon, Orthopox-13. Cryptosporidium (nicknamed 'Crypto') comes intending to rescue 136, while Orthopox (nicknamed "Pox") desires to extract human brain stems for study. Crypto arrives at Turnipseed Farm in the

Soon, the U.S. government seemingly surrenders to the Furons. Crypto meets Silhouette, the leader of Majestic, in front of the Capitol. After a brief scuffle with Silhouette, Crypto discovers that "he" is a woman. Silhouette unveils the Robo-Prez, a towering mech controlled by President Huffman's brain. Crypto defeats Robo-Prez in his flying saucer and then defeats Silhouette in a final battle at the Octagon. In her dying breath, Silhouette reveals that there are other Majestic divisions worldwide. Crypto, however, is confident that without Silhouette's leadership, Majestic will be totally powerless to resist the Furon takeover. The game ends with Huffman making a televised speech, assuring America that the recent events were the work of communists, who have poisoned the U.S.

Gameplay

In ''Destroy All Humans!'', players assume the role of Cryptosporidium 137 (Crypto for short), a warrior and member of the Furons, a race of war-like extraterrestrials with a large empire constantly seizing new worlds through conquest. After centuries of warfare against inferior species using unchecked nuclear weaponry left their species impotent and without

Weapons and abilities

Crypto possesses advanced Furon weaponry in both his flying saucer and also on foot.

This disguise is not without flaw, as the Majestic have the ability to see through and destroy the disguise.

Additionally, he is able to use an ability known as ''PK'' or PsychoKinesis that allows one to psychokinetically move objects around.


Development

The game was conceived of by Matt Harding while he was working at Pandemic Studios, as after

rejected the more family-friendly game concept ''Oddballs'', he jokingly suggested "a game where you kill everyone", suggesting the title ''Destroy All Humans''. Being a science fiction fan, Harding even thought of using the concept of playing as an alien invader, something that he had not seen in a video game and served as a "premise for getting to do mindless destruction that makes sense". Harding never worked on the game, feeling he lacked the "energy or interest" to "spend two years of islife writing a game about killing everyone". He even contested why along with the on-foot action resembling ''

Harding left soon after on his Asian walkabout and began recording some of the footage that eventually became the "Where The Hell Is Matt?" videos. The game also sponsored ECW One Night Stand.

Legacy

Due to the game's success several sequels have been made: '' Destroy All Humans! 2'', which takes place in the 1960s and marks the first time Crypto invades across the globe, '' Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed'', a spin-off set in the 1970s in which Pox and Crypto run a fast-food chain, and '' Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon'', which also takes place in the 1970s and begins with Crypto and Pox running a lucrative gambling casino called the "Space Dust," who work to uncover a conspiracy set on destroying the Furon race.
