Under the Skin offers a wacky brawler from Capcom. Mischievous alien, transformations and cascading gags. Short and rough, but with carefree humour.

Description
A Capcom action-adventure released in 2004, an atypical Capcom-signed action title. The hero is a young alien who must collect human specimens and objects for his professor using a transformation device. The player takes human form to infiltrate various places (zoo, beach, hospital). Playful third-person combat, humorous collection missions. Minor but charming Capcom curiosity.

Is Under the Skin still worth playing in 2026?

A zany action game from Capcom, Under the Skin has you play a little prankster alien whose goal is to sow chaos among humans by disguising, scaring them and collecting their panicked reactions. The original concept of mischief as the main mechanic, the absurd humour and the competitive multiplayer mode make for a delightful curiosity. The repetition and a limited depth cap the long term interest. An atypical party game for fans of video game humour and offbeat multiplayer games.
