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
Honestly, quite a good game for it's genre, although many things did bother me as well. The gameplay loop is nice. Drop into the unknown, try to hide from enemies and set up killzones when you eventually do trigger a horde. The mechanics are good, with a good balance of damage, different options, stress etc. A well prepared defense with flamethrowers and sentries is genuinely a death trap, but if you get taken unprepared your squad will lose members quite easily. The difficulty also scales pretty well, which made my campaign quite stressfull (in a good way) from start to finish. Less good: Class system: all classes are quite viable, although some things are quite overpowered to the point that taking them just makes some areas a cakewalk (looking at the silenced sniper shot) while the medic in my opinion doesnt generally serve a purpose since everyone can heal others anyways. Both research and construction are non-factors, the construction unlocks better weapons (that's it) and research is also very bare-bones, giving minimal benefits. The cinematics are decent, but the faces look extremely bad when they are talking. I personally encountered almost zero bugs during the game. I think maybe once in the entire playthrough I had to restart due to a crash, that's it.

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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

great game
All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the Corps!
Uno de los mejores juegos del Alien...
Gra świetnie odtwarza klimat z filmu "Obcy – decydujące starcie" polecam!
The Game is beating the ♥♥♥♥ out of me! I love it. I already put over 100 hour in this Bug Hunt. I want more content. I want bigger squads for my Bug Hunt. We need some map DLCs or new mission packs with other marine squads on different locations. Please give me more ;-) Anyone who grow up with the movies and comics will love it. This game is a gem and one of the best games in the Alien Franchise. Stay frosty marines!
Why?
의외로 재미있고 컷씬도 좋았음
Это просто кошмар. Я давно в такие игры не играл. Первая миссия на планете это самое сложное в игре ( сложилось впечатление), видимо потому что ещё ни чего не умеешь и не привык. Дальше как будь то проще но и страшнее))). Ирга определённо зайдет фанатам фантастики и вселенной. По саспинсу и скримерам не ровня "изоленте" но жути нагоняет именно сложностью процесса. Со временем прокачав пехоту уже не так страшно но интерес не пропадает так как элитное отделение после 1 дня миссии уходит на неделю на больничный и доигрываешь зелёной шпаной))). Рекомендую +100500
un de mes jeux préféré, l ambiance est top l action aussi ; j'espére une suite prochainement
