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 top-down tactical game. Gives you the full Alien experience with a little less horror and more tense action/suspense. Great mod support; can mod campaigns to be less tense and more "hack and slash" if the constant butt-clenching is too much. Great re-playability, interesting mechanics with higher difficulties, and new game+. Only performance issues I had are ones she said, and bugs I encountered the killer kind.

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.

This game makes it into my top 3 alien games, right next to AvP and Alien Isolation. Interesting story, great gameplay, sometimes similar to XCOM. Upgrading the USS Otago, lots of equipment, research, and Marine leveling. Long and very complex missions. A big plus is that the game is incredibly difficult. The only downside is the poor character models and animations.
hard to control the group, move slow as ♥♥♥♥, randomly got spotted, no fun at all.
A very fun game that makes you believe you are commanding a crew of marines in Aliens. Worth a playthrough, without a doubt.
quite simply the best Alien / colonial marine game in the franchise imo. It punishes you alot for hubris, as pushing your marines too far and stressing them usually leads to the entire fireteam dying or being kidnapped. alot of the gameplay surrounds keeping your marines calm and trying to do as many objectives as possible before your supplies run out and you need to leave. Also its the only other decent strategy game for the franchise aside from AvP: Extinction (another banger)
[h3][b]Bueno[/b][/h3] Aliens respira la esencia de su segunda parte por todos lados. Desde las tecnologías hasta los diferentes tipos de Xenos, pasando por los sonidos de las armas y la estética visual. Además, es un juego que sabe mantenerte en tensión durante toda la campaña , y la idea de jugar por escuadrones con distintos tipos de habilidades y clases es un gran acierto, como lo es la obligatoriedad del sigilo si no quieres despertar a la colmena. Sin embargo aquí acaba lo bueno. [h3][b]Malo[/b][/h3] La peor parte, y la razón por la que he dropeado el juego, es porque da mucha pereza avanzar por los niveles. El diseño está hecho para que a cada pocos pasos te encuentres con patrullas random que vigilan las mismas áreas aunque hayan pasado 80 veces. Eso hace que el avance sea tedioso. Cualquier cosa hace que detecten a tus marines, y eso activa el modo cacería y en consecuencia, el modo oleada, haciendo que tus tácticas y estrategias recurran a mera suerte RNG. Y esto en un RTS es inadmisible. He cargado partidas solo para despejar caminos y que las rutas de los Xenos sean distintas. Si le sumamos una historia poco interesante (hasta donde he llegado) y una irrelevante gestión de base a lo XCOM, encontramos unas buenas ideas muy mal ejecutadas, aburridas y tediosas, repartidas en 12 misiones de las cuales con 7 eran más que suficientes. [h3][b]Nota: F[/b][/h3] No puedo recomendar este juego, tanto si eres fan de los RTS como de la saga Alien, porque no te puedo asegurar que lo vayas a terminar. Bastante he aguantado.
La esencia de la saga Alien, super recomendado. La dificultad es muy alta, recomiendo instalar los mods de nexus para guardar partida y reducir el estrés al 50%. Con esos mods el juego se pone super bueno.
I was surprise by how good this was, top tier of what the AA games have to offer
Excellent !
