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.

Super, mais dommage qu'il n'y ai pas un mode multi-joueurs.
Man, I was never like a HUGE Aliens/Alien fan. They were good movies. I even liked the third one knowing what it was. This game does an excellent job of giving us Aliens but with a dash of Alien. I've played the 3rd person shooter Aliens game and it's fine. But this is definitely what I was looking for in the series. I love the "real time XCOM" feel of it. I love the "you can just LEAVE. Go on. Just get in the car and GO" options. The rest options. Etc.

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 2,515 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.

It's entertaining. I'm still on the first mission, but I like it.
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.
This is a great experience, especially if you like the Aliens franchise. Well written and good voice acting with great sound.
so many bugs, frustrating game design, not fun
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.
one of the best strategy i play developer knows how to play game. Good ♥♥♥♥!
Great game for alien fans. Tense and really reflects the aliens movie feeling. We need a sequel!!!!
