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.

Brilliant game. I would recommend starting on the easiest/ easier difficulty when starting this game though. There's a lot to learn within this game that, for me anyway, the easiest difficult allows me the time to learn whilst also enjoying the game. Fully recommend. Been good fun so far and I'm only 10% of the way through!
玩法跟其他部分本身還行 就是有時低概率出現的BUG挺麻煩 怪卡原地或牆角走過去就觸發 下礦坑還有卡桶子沒法暗殺的 過關後圖鑑得重新收集

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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 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.

This game is awesome! Like Xcom and Company of heroes mixed into one beautiful baby. Excellent voice actors, great music, awesome level design, and just you feel like your in Aliens. This game is what we wanted the movies to be. Enjoy 9/10
Jogo muito bem feito, com bons personagens e história bem desenvolvida. Recomendo para quem gosta de RTS!
Un excellent jeu ! Vraiment prenant, qui mets la pression et qui peux avoir des pics de difficultés vraiment sympa On se sent vraiment dans un jeu alien avec chaque xénomorphe qui peux faire un carnage dans vos escouades, un scénario original vraiment top également Une pépite que je conseille fortement si vous êtes fan de la sage Alien
This is THE Aliens game. If you can only play one Aliens game, this is the one you should play. It is not perfect, but neither are the movies. For anyone who enjoys the franchise, Dark Descent delivers in every way it should.
A lot of fun. Kept me engaged throughout the entire game and the story was good. If you like x-com combined with real time strategy and also like the Alien franchise, this game is a must buy if you see it on sale.
good ah
Story was and gameplay was the game is good. Hard, but good. HOWEVER: Game crash very often, strangely every time when you pull a successful ambush on a queen by waking it up with a snipe shot or trash her life bar... ( often crash when using the command skill in those case). As if the game didn't accepted you being smart...-_- ( but guess it's just crappy coding than anything else but still.). PC spec are good (not the best, but for a game that old it is enough), and those crash happen even at minimal game settings. plenty of bug like egg you roasted that spawn back out of nowhere ( and they claim each map is *persistent*), body you searched that are still marked as "new", and you can still search them... Or even bugg in the tutorial, with the lab. The dev didn't take in account the player being SMART, and search the first map and finding the tech crate in your first run. ( the game doesn't told you but you're not supposed to make the first map in a single run) So basically, when you go to your second try, that's WHEN you unlock the lab and the ability to loot the alien's corpse. and upon having looted these...the tutorial ask you to unlock a grenade upgrade for 3 ressources...HOWEVER...the dev were so clever that you're forced to select the FIRST UPGRADE ON THE LIST, with no chance to change it. And the FIRST Upgrade in the list...IS NOT the grenade upgrade when you found the special crate already -_- so you're forced to spend TEN of your ressources instead of 3. For a thing you may not want to acquire first. Just so because the team devs think YOU'll play AS THEY WISH YOU TO PLAY, IN A STRATEGY GAME. ( and also thinking your dumb or blind...-_-). So again, another game where game company don't care to make a proper game without bug that are either major, or impact your team directly ( going to an already cleaned egg room in the same run and seeing the egg back might make them injured or killed due to surprise after all...) or your limited ressources. And that think you're either stupid, or follow like an obedient puppy THEIR way of thinking...-_-
