Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Great game, deep atmosphere, good story and tactical gameplay
A very enjoyable and beautifully grim atmospheric game. It offers a fun top-down roguelite-style experience with a proper story campaign, set across detailed, varied, and wonderfully gruesome maps. Some save-game checkpoints can feel a bit questionable, and the beginning has quite a lot of tutorial pieces, but once the game gets going, it becomes a really fun mix of top-down arcade action and tactical gameplay. Overall, it easily provides 35–40 hours of very good entertainment.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 22: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The game is fantastic. It captures the atmosphere of the first two Alien movies perfectly and delivers a solid experience with excellent mechanics. I also believe that the “Slow-Mo” turned based style works superbly well and keeps a sense of urgency. The trauma, exhaustion and resource management also encourages mindful play, which prevents you from pushing your marines too hard. I play it on the Steam Deck with headphones, at night and the volume in max for a more immersive experience.
The fact that only 56% of players finished first mission tells a lot about difficulty of that game. It's really difficult and really random. You actually need to think and plan your missions. There is no Save button - so you can't save spam your way to an end. I recommend this game if you always wanted to experience how it feels to lead a squad of Humans towards dark caves, where danger lurks after every corner. Also, fun fact - that game was not running properly on Steam Deck, but now it is fully supported. Yes it's not looking best, but it's pretty much playable and controls are pretty good.
Loved it
遊戲玩法真的很不錯 但劇情根本是狗屎 劇情就是很標準的惡靈古堡套路 (實驗) 劇情看看就好 很多場景互動的bug,動畫之後的軟鎖,序章要嘛跳過不然就完全不要跳 教學一定要跟著走 就像我直接去打死亡山丘 回來之後教學卡死 存檔報廢
Game resolution has been broken since launch, and nver fixed. If you are comfortable playing this game on an ultrawide, and never seen the full picture, it's a good game.
I have never played another game quite like it and I truly enjoyed it as an Xcom vet and a lifelong Aliens fan. It's a wonderful proof of concept and a great stand alone game and it makes me yearn for a fully realized sequel. Definitely worth your time as a fan of Aliens or squad based strategy games.
Naprawdę ok.
I'm new to the game even though it has been released few years ago but you really feel immersed to the game that you already forgot about the time lol.
