Bought the game today, almost 6 hours in already. Game is legit, hella fun, it's on sale for 6 bucks, you'll be happy you bought it. Its Payday and L4D but third person, you fight waves of enemies that get bigger and stronger and more varied while completing objectives. The game does nothing new or innovative but it excels and being a very solid entry in the genre, the games atmosphere is well crafted and beautiful as heck to look at. The game actually has a heavy crafted narrative, thats unusual for these games. If you love Aliens, you'll enjoy the expanded narrative, there's almost tons of secrets to find and lore through notes and npcs to discover that pretty much explains every detail from items, film characters to ships, to food, to way of life, medicine, employment, you name it the lore seems to be covering the whole Alien universe and how it works. I easily found a group of randoms to play with who were super nice, and helped guide to all the secrets cause its obvious they were vets, they also let me go first for everything haha, so I got to enjoy handling the narrative and seeing everything myself, cool community if everyone is like this. Game has tons of replay value, I beat 6 levels so far and 3 difficulty levels for each one. There's tons of customization with your gadgets and weapons, so you can upgrade and buff your weapons in all sorts of ways. Game has tons of unlockable stuff so far for each character class, so it seems you can have a lot of different loadouts and playstyles. I also played this on Steamdeck, runs like a charm. Some levels can be played on Max settings with 30-40 fps, other resource heavier levels you have to lower the setting to just down from max to high or high to med respectively in other to get 30-40 frames if not it struggle between 19 and 30 frames, mostly hitting around 23 frames. A bit annoying having to adjust the graphics on certain maps if you want to enjoy max settings as much as you can, but atleast the game can work perfect and hit above 60 frames if you play on lower settings Hard recommend this game to ppl who coop shooters, also I def recommend this to the Gears of War and RE5/6 crowd, it's focus on delivering a visual narrative isn't present like those games but the run and gun and doing things is present/

436 hours in finally writing my review! And guess what? Of course, I’m giving this game a thumbs up! Now, don’t get me wrong it’s not because this game is some groundbreaking masterpiece. But what it does deliver is ridiculously addictive fun, especially if you’ve got a couple of buddies to squad up with on Discord. There’s nothing like non stop banter while blasting endless Xenomorphs into oblivion! The game offers tons of flexibility whether it’s customizing your playstyle, tweaking your character, or choosing your preferred difficulty. And oh boy, those difficulty settings! You can cruise through with zero challenge or punish yourself with brutal, hair pulling missions that’ll take hours to conquer (Steam achievements, anyone?). My personal highlight? Late night sessions with friends, mowing down aliens while desperately trying not to team kill each other (oops). The graphics are solid, the gameplay is a blast, but I’ll admit, it’s missing that creepy, atmospheric dread you’d expect from an Alien themed game. No spine chilling nostalgia here, just mindless, trigger happy chaos. Final verdict? Perfect for turning off your brain and wasting hours with friends. Just don’t expect depth only glorious, dumb fun.

Overall excellent game for fans of the Alien franchise, specifically the Alien and Aliens movies. Great graphics and gameplay, great weapons and talent trees etc. One drawback is the relative ineffectiveness of the bots or synthetics when playing offline solo or online without a full team; their abilities and damage should scale up better when playing Intense and higher difficulty. As the game inevitably ages and fewer people play online, the game risks becoming an unplayable or "dead" game due to weak and ineffective bot teammates and therefore limited solo play options.

This game is dead! It deserves a positive review for what it was, but if you don't have two friends who want to play it at the same time, don't buy it. Gameplay: The gameplay is very good, and the Alien universe is well respected and staged. The gunfighting is very good, with weapons emblematic of the first Aliens movies, and in some areas of the map, the massive shootout is very pleasant, with aliens coming in droves and sending some heavy blows. The story is basic, easy but realistic, and true to the movies. Today, this game is dead because there aren't players left "exept sometime in the weekend." The AIs are totally useless. The devs were warned that the game would be pitiful with AIs, but they would rather let the game die than offer a game that could be played solo. Graphic design: The game is beautiful, the Alien universe is respected, but the maps are very repetitive. Playtime: Today this game offers no more playtime because there are no more players on the game. I repeat, make sure you have two friends to play with before you buy. Price: Much too expensive for a co-op-only game. This game had great potential, but the devs opted to let it die rather than exploit its potential.
