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.

Worth a playthrough for an Aliens fan. Secondary playthrough is less fun since you know where things are but you can mop up achievements if that's your thing and you can use your marines from the first playthrough who will be more powerful. I recommend the Movie SFX pack - adds the original pulse rifle SFX and deployment music from the deployment scene in Aliens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6w5Qr5f_b8 - Links in video posters top comment.

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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

Muy bueno, respeta la estética de la franquicia Alien, los combates y el sigilos están bien implementados y aunque los niveles se vuelven algo repetitivos, saben variar con los mapas para no hacerlo tan notorio. Mi único pero es que si vamos a jugar un juego de escuadrones, cada uno debería poder controlarse individualmente. También haría falta agregar mas armas o cosas que se puedan comprar, después me terminaban sobrando materiales en el juego medio
Разъёб лютый. Есть конечно баги, которые бросаются в глаза, и которые никто не починил за 3 года с релиза, да и к лицам персонажей вопросики, ну да ладно. Геймплей отличный, свежий, да и сюжет захватывает. Длительность игры как раз в меру и не успевает надоесть (ну почти).
Fuyez ce jeu bourré de bugs qui annihilent le plaisir de jouer
Love the gameplay mechanics.
10/10, gave me crippling PTSD.
I slept on this game! I've never been a fan of the real-time tactics genre. When this game hit, I pretty much ignored it for that reason and this game doesn't sway me. However, MY GOD is this game fun if love the alien franchise and love ALIENS the movie. The game is just one giant love letter to that film. Aside from loving the familiar Alien universe done authentically, the gameplay is fun on it's own merit. The combat and stealth are both engaging and tense. When done strategically its all very rewarding. The management system is awesome, I found it incredibly immersive. Things like having a marine lose a leg on deployment, get a robotic prosthetic and eventually return to the field to become my top machine gunner is a fun experience. All around great game! Would recommend to anyone who loves the franchise and especially to anyone who particularly loves ALIENS. Runs great on my machine.
First. If you do not own headphones, invest into a pair because special audio is unreal in this game. The immersion is absolute top notch and you will miss a lot by playing this game with just a computer speaker. Second. Take your time to learn all the mechanic. This game is not easy (in a good way) , it will challenge you constantly, and if you do not take time to learn ins and outs of this game , you will have hard time progressing. The action goes from 0 to 100 very quickly and knowing how to deploy your assets quickly is vital for your squad survival. So be patient, and learn this game. it is worth it. The game is so cool in so many ways. It is very realistic how marines can react in difficult situations. Marines get stressed, they can panicked, they can even pass out, M56 ammunition can ran out in the middle of the fight, leaving your marines to defend themselves with pistols. You might run out of tools and be forced to look for them around the map and be exposed to sudden Aliens attacks. So inventory management and planning is super important, and if you are not careful you will get punished very quickly. Levels are long, and there is no save button. You save your progress by: resting in a welded-shut safe room, completing major story objectives, or changing floor levels via elevators. Keep that in mind because the game is brutal if you lose your squad. You will lose a lot of progress. So shelter up as much as you can. This game captures the spirit of Aliens movies perfectly. Environmental graphics, and audio are excellent. Guns sound exactly the way you would expect them from the Aliens game. The game is intense and relentless. It keeps you on your toes constantly. Action goes from 0 to 100 in a split of a second, and it is intense. It is just a really good adaptation of Aliens movies. One negative is that facial animations are very dated, Nvidia DLSS 5.0 neural rendering would go a long mile for this game. Also this game is meant to be played with keyboard and mouse. I tried to use Xbox controller and it gets difficult. Overall a very cool Aliens game.
Te va encantar si sos fan de la saga Alien, pero tiene demasiados bugs, más de una vez pensé en dejarlo por la cantidad de bugs que tiene.
