Species: Unknown

Surprisingly fun game. Great loop. The upgrades are deliberate and really cool. You absolutely want to score the cash from missions to use on your character. For the price it's worth it imo. Plays smoothly and decent graphics.

PEAK needs expansion updates tho

Yeah

Firstly, let me preface this with the fact that this is one of those times where I wish I could leave a "it depends" sort of review. This was most definitely not a game for me, hence the not recommended. This isn't the type of genre I usually like to play. However, I have multiple friends who DO quite like this game. But with that being said, I'm sticking with not recommended for the time being because though this IS a game I wouldn't normally enjoy playing one way or another, there are enough glaring issues I noticed that, if addressed, would make the game far more tolerable to me were I to play again with my friends. Firstly, the game is extremely repetitive, and not in a good way. There is only one map right now, so it doesn't take too long to get used to. I HAVE heard that the devs are working on another one though, which is great. Secondly, when it comes to the "kill" missions, I feel like the aliens/monsters are way too difficult. Not only do they seem to have a ton of HP, but there is usually some sort of other gimmick involved required to kill them as well, which ramps the difficulty up even more. And to top it off, it isn't easy to figure out how close you are to having killed the thing. So on the whole, I find the kill missions incredibly frustrating and unfun. I think this could be improved upon by even something as simple as adding a clear health bar to the alien so you can at least tell when you're doing damage or not, so you aren't stuck wondering if you're messing up somewhere. I do want to end this by reiterating the fact that I have multiple friends who like this game a lot, and that probably a good chunk of my gripes are that I'm simply a more casual gamer and don't find super difficult gameplay appealing. But I also think it's worth mentioning how repetitive the missions, aliens, and map are right now. I think that, given time, the game can shape up to be significantly better, but for now, I'd rather play Phasmo if I had to pick between the two.

I like it when the aliens diddle me

Loving it, thought it is far from perfect, It is so much fun, but outside of gameplay alone, there are some minor issues that are quite noticeable. In terms of accessability options, they do offer some settings, but not the full array of customization there should be, there is no way to disable the gun's crosshair, as well as ADS zoom is super high and independent to FOV so it just feels very uncomfortable, especially for me as I increased FOV. UI and buttons; not too big, but indeedd annoying at times. in settings, pressing ESC does nothing, you gotta press BACKSPACE, its not too much, but I think it should be addressed in future updates, definetly seems like an accidental error. In terms of content, I am aware they plan to add a new map, which is great, love that, but It needs more than a new visual to keep me personally hooked, its incredibely fun, however equipment choices + cosmetics lack variety, well cosmetics dont really exist apart of suit color edit and face paint. In terms of equipment, I feel like even just adding styles\loadout types with different equipment for each would; not just make it more difficult and encourage teamwork and collaboration, but would also require adding more weapons, more support items, more freedom. For examle, a support class, lighter armor(cosmetic opportunity here), and carries a stim + ammo or something, a ranger\navigator default armor and carries minimap + pistol or AR, etc... Also, as more of a personal note to the dev, I tried many games of this type, and never encountred such a good game that catches this exact drift, this is what Alien Fireteam should have been, and I admire yall for that, truly an amazing game and I was gladly picking up the Supporter DLC (gimme me more cosmetics XD ) Keep up the good work, dont rush for a full release, this game is already good and loved, so you are definetly doing many things correctly, so simply be you, add more of what you already created <3
