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
This game is a hidden diamond. I'm pretty neutral to the Aliens franchise as a whole, watched some of the movies and think they're okay but that's it. What tempted me to try this game was seeing the squad mechanic in action on a stream and I have to say that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they nailed it. You don't give out orders to individual soldiers, you give orders to the squad and then the priority system decides who carries them out. If they're all busy the order gets queued to be carried out as soon as someone is available. This feel natural and fluid, I never felt frustrated about who did what. The game is tense, especially on harder difficulties. You're better off sneaking and distracting the enemies with remotely triggered sounds/alarms than trying to run and gun. You can do that too if you're feeling kitted out enough but the "aggression" mechanic ensures that the firefights get more and more instense scaling with time spent in active combat since more enemies are drawn in by the fighting. Getting spotted when you don't expect it legitimately feels like an "oh ♥♥♥♥" moment where you quickly have to decide what your next course of action is going to be. The story is fine. I wouldn't give it any Oscars but it certainly doesn't suck and there are plenty of logs scattered around the missions for you to find and read if you want to find out more about the planet you're on. Overall I had a great time and kept wanting to play "just a while longer". I paid full price and thought it was worth the money, but the game is old enough to frequently go on sale so my recommendation is to just hold on for a bit and get it at a reduced price.

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!
Awesome game !! really hoping for DLC or a part 2..... Highly recommended
Love this game! Need more
polecam dużo tych ciemnych potworów i lubią porywać ludzi
Pretty good overall, a few pretty annoying glitches (not the type of bugs i expected). 35 hours to finish the campaign on medium. Best part: Hunslet Worst part: what do you mean "shields at 60%" this is not star trek

GOOD
Прикольная игра,но маловато как будто и чем дальше тем более технические косяки появляются.Морпех отказывается бегать,застревает дрон и другие.
Nice RTS style of Aliens game. But the stealth section can feel frustrating sometimes.
