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.

She dark on my descent until I retribution.
Tiene sus fallos,no es perfecto y algunos bastante feos, que después de los años no se han solventado, como partidas corrompidas que no te permiten avanzar o cargas de partidas que hay problemas de UI,pero aún así, es de los mejores juegos de la franquicia de Alien que se han hecho (junto con el Isolation), básicamente es un XCOM,pero mucho más directo y muy bien diferenciado, no hay turnos por ejemplo, todo está muy bien hilado, todo tiene sentido y coherencia ,la historia no es nueva,no reinventa nada,pero está muy bien construdia y sobre todo la ambientación, estás dentro de las 2 primeras películas de la franquicia.

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.

Bought this game on sale. All in all it's a good game. I like the setting. But sometimes sudden cutscenes messed up my progress and I had to load a save (example: when the game focuses on something while I got spotted or was in the middle of combat). Performance was fine for me. And a few bugs here and there were a bit annoying.
i love this game :)
brak manualnego zapisu w grze, której możliwość progresu psuje się co 10 minut to ciekawy wybór, a wydajność też jest zaskakująco słaba jak na tak graficznie średnio wyglądającą grę
I'd love to give this one a mixed one, but out of the two - I'll settle with a positive one just because the first half of the game is so immersive. This is basically X-COM but in Aliens universe, and normally this wouldn't be my type of game but... I love Aliens and I was intrigued by how hardcore the game felt. I've done so many cool missions literally at the edge of my seat trying to do as much as I could, gather intel, save people, move around as silent as I possibly could, hanging to my dear life whenever I got detected, managing the minimal amount of resources, stress and injuries, planning every move ahead... I loved the idea of being stuck in a corner defending myself from a swarm of Xeno's and having one of my teammates snatched away in the one moment where I left a flank open to reload just as my turret ran out of ammo, and the guy is thrashing and screaming for help as he's getting dragged away, but I just can't get to him with 10 more Xeno's clawing their way through the door. FU*KING CINEMA! The game did such a great job of making me care for every single member of my squad. Character customisation leaves more to be desired but it's a nice touch and the different (positive and negative) traits add so much weight and actual personality to every member. It's so interesting to me how I could put some extra work for one character and potentially get rid of their negative trait. This all made the actual game so much more thrilling. If someone got injured I could drag them to EVAC and potentially still save their life. If somebody got impregnated by a facehugger, we could potentially develop technology to still save them if I did the right research, and if a marine actually lost their life - they were gone for good, along with all the work I put into them. This Rogue-like aspect of the game was so addicting to me and the Aliens universe was just such a perfect setting for a game like this, I was HOOKED! What's the problem then? Idk man, maybe it's just a skill issue on my part, after all these (X-COM likes) aren't normally my type of games so maybe I'm just too bad, but I felt like the other half of the game just feels plain impossible? I felt like it literally forced me into combat, when I just couldn't afford it, not forever anyway, and seemingly that's what the game expected of me. It frustrated me to the point where I straight up cheated through some of them with Wemod. However at that point the game has lost it's charm to me, the hardcore aspects made it interesting and I had to trade it for the sake of being able to actually play the game. I got frustrated with it, delayed playing it further more and more, to the point where I uninstalled the game eventually, and I just have no desire of coming back :( Still, I had an absolute blast with the 1st half, it was thrilling, unique and scratched a very sensitive itch for me, and for that alone I think it's 100% worth playing, especially if you're more experienced with these typa games.
bug挺多，不能实时存档且有数量限制，意味着你发现自己卡bug后，新卡的要回档到十多分钟前，之前一直没发现卡的可能永远也恢复不了了，但瑕不掩瑜，买cdk只要6块
