Left 4 Dead... with ALIENS!!!
I am enjoying this game greatly. The menus could use work (enable customizing of costumes when character is picked). I got this to take the place of L4D, as I have tired of zombie games (except Dying Light, for the win), and I am satisfied. I've had few technical issues so far. The AI, even on Masterful, is a little dumb (Invasion mode, they just follow you around). They are a little too quick to jump in and take the few health/weapon pick-ups, and have an uncanny ability to get the last shot in to "steal" a kill, (like boss battles, when you're trying to get specific kills for achievements.) However, they are relatively good at coming to my rescue when downed by the horde and basic health "pick-me-ups" when I dip below half (or so). I like the enemy variety (because I liked the same in L4D). Those who feel cheated should consider this more as an homage than a replacement. Replayability: Choosing different characters gives different incidental dialogue in different missions. There is an experience progression to unlock different paint-jobs for the weapons, outfits/looks for the characters, and little "trinkets" to dangle on the receiver of your guns. There is also a skill system that unlocks abilities like carrying extra grenades or med-kits, speeding up weapon re-loads or world interactions. It takes A LOT of grinding to unlock some of these skills (two months and I'm still working), also progressive "Lore" unlocking-- filling in the backstory for the characters, setting, aliens, and weapons. My biggest, BIGGEST gripe is the inability to pause in Solo mode; if I were online with a live team that would make sense, but not solo. Honestly, that (no Solo pause) is the only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars. Seriously. Otherwise, worth paying full price, but on sale would be good if you're picky and NEED L4D.

We’re gonna need more bullets...
The only reason I bought this game because it was super cheap. It turned out to be super fun. This is a four player coop shooter, probably best played online. I don’t do that. (I’ve run into too many idiots out there). I just play the solo campaign, the other three players are bots with adjustable AI. Earthfall has your group try to survive after an alien invasion. Basically each mission has you going from point A to point B with hundreds of vicious aliens in between. There are various enemy types from drones to behemoths , and they attack in seemingly endless waves. Luckily, there are many different weapons to be found along the way each with different capabilities. The combat can get intense, especially when you’re being overwhelmed and your mates are too injured to help you. The graphics aren’t bad and the AI bots are mostly helpful, despite the occasional hiccup. I’ve really enjoyed this game so far and it was less than $15!

No Bad; an Updated Left for Dead. Still good.
This game does mimic much of the style and gameplay mechanics of the older Left for Dead. The character element are different but the bosses are very similar. There were 3 Left for Dead games produced officially. Not much expansion in the individual boards but the boards work well with the story line. You’ll get to know the main characters as you move along. Overall, this game is well made, flows well, but the developers should have used more creativity on the actual story and similarities to Left for Dead so it is not easily compared to it.
