Aliens: Dark Descent

Great game, deep atmosphere, good story and tactical gameplay

A very enjoyable and beautifully grim atmospheric game. It offers a fun top-down roguelite-style experience with a proper story campaign, set across detailed, varied, and wonderfully gruesome maps. Some save-game checkpoints can feel a bit questionable, and the beginning has quite a lot of tutorial pieces, but once the game gets going, it becomes a really fun mix of top-down arcade action and tactical gameplay. Overall, it easily provides 35–40 hours of very good entertainment.

The game is fantastic. It captures the atmosphere of the first two Alien movies perfectly and delivers a solid experience with excellent mechanics. I also believe that the “Slow-Mo” turned based style works superbly well and keeps a sense of urgency. The trauma, exhaustion and resource management also encourages mindful play, which prevents you from pushing your marines too hard. I play it on the Steam Deck with headphones, at night and the volume in max for a more immersive experience.

The fact that only 56% of players finished first mission tells a lot about difficulty of that game. It's really difficult and really random. You actually need to think and plan your missions. There is no Save button - so you can't save spam your way to an end. I recommend this game if you always wanted to experience how it feels to lead a squad of Humans towards dark caves, where danger lurks after every corner. Also, fun fact - that game was not running properly on Steam Deck, but now it is fully supported. Yes it's not looking best, but it's pretty much playable and controls are pretty good.

Loved it

遊戲玩法真的很不錯 但劇情根本是狗屎 劇情就是很標準的惡靈古堡套路 (實驗) 劇情看看就好 很多場景互動的bug，動畫之後的軟鎖，序章要嘛跳過不然就完全不要跳 教學一定要跟著走 就像我直接去打死亡山丘 回來之後教學卡死 存檔報廢

Game resolution has been broken since launch, and nver fixed. If you are comfortable playing this game on an ultrawide, and never seen the full picture, it's a good game.
