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.

Great gameplay. I cannot think of many other games like this out there and I hope they make a sequel to this. The story is typical for the Alien franchise and while it starts strong the ending feels a bit anticlimactic in my opinion. The strength of this game is making you attached to your marines and challenging you to adapt to the circumstances of each mission. In addition to that, the intensity of this game can ramp up rapidly when you make mistakes and in that way it really "feels" like an Alien game. I got this game from a Humble Bundle choice and I recommend seeing if you can get a good discount given the game is nearly 3 years old by the time of this review.

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.

[h2]Atmosfera Perfetta e Strategia Coinvolgente[/h2] Un RTS tattico davvero sorprendente. Aliens: Dark Descent riesce a catturare perfettamente l’atmosfera opprimente e la tensione dei film di Alien. Ogni missione tiene col fiato sospeso grazie a un gameplay strategico profondo, gestione intelligente della squadra e combattimenti intensi contro gli Xenomorfi. La grafica è curata, il sonoro è spettacolare e l’IA nemica rende ogni errore potenzialmente fatale. Mi è piaciuto molto anche il sistema di progressione dei marine, che ti fa affezionare davvero al team. Malgrado qualche crash qua e là, il gioco resta assolutamente godibile e coinvolgente. Il gameplay riesce a variare nel corso dell’avventura pur mantenendo salda la formula RTS, aggiungendo meccaniche interessanti di gestione della base, sviluppo delle truppe e pianificazione delle missioni. Questo mix rende ogni operazione diversa e mantiene alta la tensione fino alla fine.
It's fun! I admittedly haven't beaten it yet... I get super into it, and then lose interest, and then back into it again, but overall if you're into isometric games where you have most of the control of the units (they shoot their own guns without you needing to aim them, etc.), then this game is great!
Es fängt die Atmosphäre der Filme voll ein und macht mir sehr viel Spass. Nicht zu schwer und nicht zu leicht. Man kommt einfach rein und kann auf einem überschaubaren Niveau Entscheidungsmanagment betreiben - Welchen Marine heilt man schneller, wer kriegt eine Pause oder muss nochmal in den Einsatz, weil man gerade einen Richtschützen braucht aber nur einen Ausgebildet hat und noch ein paar Kleinigkeiten. Alles sehr überschaubar aber ausreichend, um tiefer in das Spiel gezogen zu werden. Ideal um mal nach Feierabend ein bis zwei Stunden zu Zocken um abzuschalten. Für mich eine sehr gute Umsetzung und Bereicherung der Alienthematik
This game was made with a lot of love. It has a good story and incredible worldbuilding. If you're a fan of Aliens its a must play imo. Also, if you're bad at RTS games like me just play on easy and enjoy the game.
说实在，游戏优化真的有点差=-=，游戏还行
awesome game, rich story, good game play
Une véritable pépite ! C'est complet (dans les mobs, les armes, les maps), complexe parce qu'il y a beaucoup de paramètres contre toi autant sur le terrain que depuis le vaisseau, c'est très tactique ingame car chaque marines est spécialisable avec ses armes ses passifs et ses compétences et il faut composer avec tout ça en s'adaptant au nombre de mob qui te charge la tronche, à la map (tu ne va pas mettre de mine sous tes pieds si tu est coincé dans un cul de sac), aux munitions et aux points de commandement qu'il te reste, ET à cette foutue santé mentale... Parce que oui, ça joue les gros bras insupportable (Aliens 2, on s'en souvient), mais ça rigole moins quand sa taille une pipe à un facehugger, que ça se ramasse de l'acide dans l'œil où que ça tombe sur une reine... où les trois en même temps. Petit conseil sans spoil: ne prenez pas trop la conf' et ne sous estimez jamais les ressources à disposition, la campagne gagne en difficulté au fur et à mesure et ça peu trè vite mal tourner! Graphiquement c'est top, niveau ambiance c'est très prenant, d'autant plus que l'on parle d'un STR, en particulier quand tu te rend compte que même si tu est armé jusqu'aux dents tu est loin d'être invincible. Une petite pépite sortie de nul part qui prouve que l'on peu encore faire des jeux qui fonctionnent sans DLC et skins à la pelle. Et Focus qui encore une fois, est l'éditeur d'un jeu ultra quali.
Is a good 25-30 hour game in hard mode. Gameplay is aright. Sometimes, the mechanics get in the way on what you want to do but at the same time, you can cheeze some of it if you know what you're doing. Just be ready for that 55GB storage; she's chonky. Don't expect much on the story. Some of it don't make sense and the dialogs are cheesy which are funny. Ending sucks tbh.
