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!
Утомительная игра

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.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

I enjoyed it
best aliens franchise game EVER!!!
i had this on the PS4 and have rebrought for the PC , much prefer playing on the PC , game is a lot smoother and easier to control. Gameplay is good and engrossing, certainly becomes challenging as you move through the campaign. Time is of the essence ... don't go skipping too many deployments
Aliens: Dark Descent ist eins sehr gutes Spiel. Mir gefällt es sehr das Karte sehr offen und relativ weitläufig ist. Mir gefällt nicht das man ab eine bestimmten Punkt im Spiel Zeitdruck hat, da ein Timmer abläuft der eine zwingt das Spiel bis dahin Durchzuspielen sonst Endet das Spiel. Was mir auch nicht gefällt ist das man die Soldaten beim Levelaufstieg nicht selbst bestimmen kann was er werden soll z.B. Scharfschütze dies hat bei mir dazu geführt, dass ich Pech hatte und keiner Scharfschützen werden konnte. Mir hat auch nicht gefallen dass das Spiel sehr Verbuggt ist z.B. wen wellen kommen kann es passieren das die wellen in endlosschleife kommen da ein Alien in der wand steckt, weil die welle nur beendet werden kann wen bestimmte Aliens tot sind. Dies führt dazu das man vom letzten Checkpoint laden muss. Es kann auch passieren das Gegner die ein Schlüsselitem bei sich tragen, durch die Mapp fallen. Dies fuhrt leider dazu das man die ganze Mission neu machen darf. Wenn man mit den Buggs leben kann ist das Spiel sehr zu Empfehlen.
鼓励潜行，完全不注意的话危险条猛猛涨，异形攻击强度直线上升，队员压力也拉爆，所以能躲的都要想办法躲，游戏节奏被拉的很慢，半天才能推进一点。 问题是这游戏不能随意SL，一旦被发现刚才好几分钟都白干。尤其是想搜尽可能搜集物资和终端的情况下，被发现了一看上个档在十几分钟前，就很绝望。玩到后面只想尽快推主线，刮地皮搞不好就刮着刮着搜的东西全给吐出去。 武器伤害其实是够的，尤其是中期攀一下科技树，会比前期手感好不少，不够的情况下技能也基本能处理，但是架不住在不能SL的情况下频繁遇敌。异形一个窜的比一个快，冷不丁就挨一下或者被尸体炸一下，一次两次没什么，次数多了每次都不SL节奏就崩了。 剧情还行，至少主角的人物成长弧线是做出来了，但是其他部分就有点意义不明，等着结局埋点伏笔爆点什么东西出来好像也没有。 要说ip还原是做的不错的，玩的时候压迫感拉满了，但是同时挫败感也拉完了，玩的束手束脚。
Very tactile, atmosphere thick game in alien universe. The start was very rough but once you get the hang of it very rewarding. Xenomorphs are fast and nasty. Your Marines WILL Die and it WILL be horrobile. For people that like hard strategy games. A few bugs here and there but nothing gamebreaking for me. Overall I had 3 or 4 crashes to desktop which can be a** if you play with limited saves. I wish there was a DLC or more of this game and wish for a sequel
i really liked it but it sucks that there won't be more content for it.
Don't rage-quit too early. It's worth it! I bought this looking for something like XCOM. My first impression? Installed it, played a bit, got frustrated, and uninstalled. But something pulled me back. I reinstalled it later to give it a second chance, and I’m so glad I did. This game has a steep learning curve and the beginning is anything but easy. It takes time to truly get into it, but it is absolutely worth the effort. Once it clicks, the loop of building your team, promoting soldiers, picking professions/perks, and managing your base is incredibly rewarding. Highly recommended!
