Aliens: Dark Descent

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.

---------------------------------------------WE NEED DLC!!!--------------------------------------------------------- First I would like to give flowers to Focus Entertainment as a publisher. They have an ability to create and support IP's with the utmost respect. And you can tell that they understand the the IP's they support. Second let's give flowers and a round of applause for Tindalos Entertainment because this is the best take on the Aliens franchise ever created. And that says a lot because we have some really good games out there for this IP. But this one is a banger. Squad based tactical shooter in the vein of XCOM and Gears Tactics. I am ashamed of myself for not playing it earlier as a fan of Aliens and the universe its set in. Deep combat mechanics, great performance. Not much else to say other than, if you like Aliens as a franchise or tactical shooters, you will not be upset for the purchase.

Jogo excelente com um imersao muito boa para quem gosta da franquia, gerenciamento de recursos e movimentaçao estrategica, excelente

10/10, gave me crippling PTSD.

Fuyez ce jeu bourré de bugs qui annihilent le plaisir de jouer

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.

I quite enjoy this game, especially for its new game + feature. Story was awesome, character were great, maps and enemies were great. Would i like to see xenomorphs adapting to each tactics that players throw at them, would love to see that if possible. If a continuation of this game were to happen, I would love to see the following. 1. Customization of marine. - Additional things to make the marines different to each other like, 'Gunners have equipment, armor, head pieces' that make them look more the part of having the Smart Gun and so forth to the other classes. - More face options. - Voice options. - Just more options. 2. Weapon choices. - Understandable that everyone would know how to use each weapon, but why not allow for the iconic Pulse Rifle/Flamethrower combo from Aliens. - Flamethrowers being a main weapon instead. It would be different, requires ammo clip use to replenish it, and if you want to block a section instead of circular area depending on distance, why not a point A to Point B, and the longer the distance between the two, the more consumption of fuel is required which places the thought of resource management onto the player. - Shotgun as a secondary weapon. - Grenades as a throwable to replace the shotgun and flamethrower choice, Having Grenades as a throwable if you don't have a launcher cause you dont have pulse rifle in hand or a weapon that doesn't accommodate for it. But overall. Absolutely love it.
