*** The remake allows you to upgrade your brain extraction to affect up to two other humans within the vicinity of the unlucky victim, and with a compulsion, can turn them against their fellow humans until they die.

It was followed up by a sequel, ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans2'', taking place in an exaggerated version of TheSixties, and a pair of sequels set in TheSeventies: ''[[VideoGame/DestroyAllHumansBigWillyUnleashed Big Willy Unleashed]]'' on the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} in 2008, and ''[[VideoGame/DestroyAllHumansPathOfTheFuron Path of the Furon]]'' on the UsefulNotes/Xbox360 and UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 in 2009. Around 2006, it was pitched to Creator/{{Fox}} for a potential television show, but it was not to be.

In 2019, it was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rNYZYVR8P0 announced]] that a [[VideoGameRemake remake]] was in the works, developed by Black Forest Games and published by Creator/THQNordic. It was released on July 28th on PC via UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, Creator/EpicGames, and Website/GOGDotCom, as well as having Google Stadia, [=PS4=] and Xbox One ports. The remake also includes a previously unused lost mission from the game's Area 42. Pre-Ordering got you free access to some cosmetic Skins for Crypto, while a later update added Christmas skins on December 17th, 2020.

Added DiffLines:

* OurClonesAreDifferent: The Furon race keep themselves alive through cloning on account of them having no genitalia to reproduce naturally. However, each clone becomes more unstable. In order to better stabilize their cloning, Orthopox and Cryptosporidium are sent to Earth to harvest humans of untainted Furon DNA.

* BloodlessCarnage: While the games do get pretty violent, the lack of blood keeps them from an M rating, and Crypto's weaponry tends to either leave bodies intact or disintegrate them entirely. Even [[YourHeadAsplode exploding a person's head]] to get at their brain is accompanied by, at most, a spray of green fluid while the brains themselves are given bright and unrealistic colors.



* DisadvantageousDisintegration: People fried by the Disintegrator and Ion Detonator can't be harvested for tasty brains-er, precious furon DNA.
* DisintegratorRay: One of the earliest weapons Crypto unlocks in each game, and the first one that requires ammunition clips. It is able to burn humans down to a charred skeleton, alongside being easier to destroy objects faster than the Zap-o-Matic. It's upgrades imply it uses a combination of [[PlasmaCannon superheated fusion plasma]] and charged-particle beam to achieve its effects. Ammo upgrades mention protons and damage upgrades mention fusion.

* InvoluntaryDance: One of the primary ways in which Crypto uses his hypnosis power on humans is to make them dance, whose practical purpose is to make them unable to do anything about Crypto himself (and, depending on the game, [[WeNeedADistraction possibly distract other nearby humans as well]]).



* NoBiologicalSex: The Furons' penchant for gratuitous nuke usage ended up getting their genetic code degraded by their own weapons, leaving them without genitalia and therefore unable to reproduce except by cloning. This is also the reason why Crypto's "package" from the second game is a pretty big deal for them.
