    My first time playing this type of game. Frustrating at first, cause there's alot of practice that you have to do get controls down pact. Turned to YouTube, which helped me bunches & made the game much more enjoyable. Game creates great tension, suspense, & is pretty scary. I highly recommend if you like the genre or the type of gameplay. And for $40, pretty good deal.

    What a great game! If you’re an Aliens fan you’ll love this game. The story is fantastic but keep in mind this is a strategy based game. But, if you take the time to learn the controls you will love the game.

    Came in excellent condition! Can't judge the game itself much, I got it for my bro to play. He seems to have a lot of fun though! Should be a good play for anyone into strategy games!

    This was a really fun RTS survival-horror game that captured the vibes of the first two Alien movies. I have to give it 4 stars though because there were a few bugs that haven’t been fixed yet.

    Very atmospheric game, enough action and slow immersive exploration wprk well together. Graphically looks great ,but the bugs are annoying when you're in the middle of a fight and need to switch to a skill that specific moment and doesnt switch cause you to die. 3/5 in current state Patched up this game deserves at leats a 4/5 or 8/10

    If you are a fan of the alien franchise this is a must play. Once you get the hang of controls the game is a blast. Graphics aren’t the greatest but it’s still a good time. Express elevator to hell…going down!

    a love letter to any all alien fans out there.this game is amazing.there is that xcom similarities if you like those kind of games..what differs here is that you got a squad and you control them in a RTS style to fend those xenomorphs with great command tree on each class.very intuitive and a great story..pick it up,youll love it.

    One of the best, of not thebest Aliens games I have ever played. Stays tense throughout. Punishes you for poor choices, fun gameplay. Wish it was longer or changed things up at higher difficulties. Needs more missions/planets to justify the grind.
