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.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 4.86/day in the week to Sep 3 → 9.71/day in the week after.

Muy bueno adictivo
The best Colonial Marines game I've ever enjoyed.
I do enjoy this game, except... The UI is kinda trash at times. The little cutscenes can sometimes be disorienting. I was fleeing the bugs and had been checking the map and location real quick and nothing I noticed indicated one of my Marines went down, then I tried to locate them quickly on the map and I couldn't. It's a great game concept but the execution is a bit iffy. Having a Marine dragged away and not having a quick way to locate them seems like a bad oversight... also, not allowing formations or single Marine movement outside of scripting events (like opening stuff or tasks) is pretty shoddy.

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 2,419 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.

Only 1 or 2 bugs that didn't bother me really, game was challenging and fun. I enjoyed it, it kept the alien vibe throughout. worth playing. some people cry about it being difficult, L2P.
---------------------------------------------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.
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).
Jogo excelente com um imersao muito boa para quem gosta da franquia, gerenciamento de recursos e movimentaçao estrategica, excelente
Игра - пушка, рекомендую. Но грешен, использовал некоторые моды, чтоб полегче было)
Игра прямиком из нулевых, сложно интересно и сюжетно.
10/10, gave me crippling PTSD.
