High on Life’s launch to the top ofGame Passis a rather impressive feat for a team with only a few small-scale titles in its portfolio.

Provided a sequel is in the works, it’d be a no-brainer to maintain the strategy the team implemented with this title.
High on Life comes from the ingenious brain ofRick and Mortyco-creator Justin Roiland. Putting players in the middle of an alien invasion, the goal is to stop the enslavement of the human race by becoming a bounty hunter and through the aid of sentient weapons known as Gatlians. Given Roiland’s hand in the game’s creation, players can expect plenty of jokes and insane situations as they look to free earth.
