Very good action packed shoot 'em up that keeps you glued on your seat just to get a little bit further. Sometimes its just good to just hop in into brainless action shooter that doesn't require much thinking or ultra refined reflexes. Learning curve is minimal, difficulty is just right and its easy just play a chapter and leave it for the next time. Game reminds me of Alien Breed from Amiga days that is modernized and much more forgiving. Graphics are good and especially shadow effects with flashlight are nice. Games of this era like Alan Wake and Doom 3 played with shadows quite similarly. In-game music fits perfectly to the game, and although its not that memorable, lives according to action. 9/10 from me.
This is a fun top-down shooter. The great music tracks & visuals all help to build the tension, atmosphere & excitement as you delve into the alien horde. You are rewarded if you explore off the path a bit as there are weapons & other items off the main path. The story is fairly good & you can read the pdas & computer screens for extra backstory. The gameplay is great, with a weapon upgrade system & a good mix of enemies which you can approach via stealth or all guns blazing, exploding certain parts of the environment as you go. I played on hard mode & only just realised just before the end that there is a very hard mode, so am due another playthrough again soon. I'd rate this game 8/10.
