The narrative picks up directly after the events of Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks the game (and before the show’s third season). The arch-villain Vilgax, fresh from his defeat, doesn’t just want the Omnitrix this time — he wants to rewrite reality. He has stolen the powerful "Tachyon Enhancers" and hidden them across the galaxy, using his lieutenants (including the return of classic foes like the DNAliens, Forever Knights, and even the Highbreed) to guard them.
Ben Tennyson, alongside Gwen and Kevin, must travel to five distinct worlds — from the swampy wilds of Yawk 4 to the mechanical labyrinth of Xenon — to retrieve the Enhancers and stop Vilgax’s ultimate plan. It’s classic Alien Force storytelling: high stakes, teen heroics, and plenty of alien-powered punching.
For a 2009 licensed game, Vilgax Attacks looks decent. The PC version boasts higher resolution textures and better shadow mapping than the PS2 or PSP counterparts. However, do not expect AAA polish. There is minor screen tearing (force V-Sync via your GPU control panel) and the occasional collision glitch (getting stuck in geometry). Save often using the in-game Omnitrix checkpoints. ben 10 alien force vilgax attacks pc

The Combat: The core loop involves fighting waves of robots and drones. Ben can punch and kick in his human form, but the real fun comes from the Omnitrix. Players can transform into 10 different aliens, each with unique movesets: The narrative picks up directly after the events
The PC controls are responsive, particularly when using a gamepad (which is highly recommended). The keyboard and mouse setup is functional, but the game was clearly designed with analog sticks in mind, particularly for platforming sections.
The Puzzles: The game intersperses combat with light puzzle-solving and platforming. These usually require specific aliens—using Goop to slip under gates or Chromastone to absorb and redirect energy beams. While not brain-busters, they break up the pacing nicely and encourage players to utilize the full roster. Recommended for Emulation/Modern Play: On PC (and the
One standout feature on the PC version is the local co-op mode. A second player can drop in and out as Ben’s cousin, Gwen Tennyson, using her mana-based magic attacks. While the camera can be finicky, fighting DNAliens alongside a friend doubles the fun.
