Reviews
The game nails the Aliens lore and atmosphere. But suffers from some bad mechanics. I think I had to reload saves at least 100 times in the final mission. It's a stealth tactical RTS.
Awesome game! I haven't played these types of games since Jagged Alliance but I absolutely loved this game! The atmosphere and story are great — honestly better than some of the movies. I really hope we don't see the last of it, especially now that Alien Isolation also gets a sequel.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

its a great game. its got a few rough spots and small bugs but an overall complete and solid experience.
Jogo muito bem feito, com bons personagens e história bem desenvolvida. Recomendo para quem gosta de RTS!
A fantastic game set in the *Alien* universe. It bears an incredible resemblance to *Aliens* (the second film). I hope there will be a sequel or at least some substantial DLC. The developers did a brilliant job capturing the world of the Xenomorphs and the Colonial Marines. Of course, I shouldn't just heap praise on it—the game does have minor flaws, but overall, they are negligible. I rate the game 9/10; it loses a point simply because a sequel hasn't been released yet.
Super Atmospähre
Good ambient, the story does its job to push us forward, 0 crash, a few bugs of pathfinding here and there but nothing critical. I regret the lack of possiiblity to send a single marine forward or to change which marine goes first. Getting a line of sight with the sniper without exposing the rest of the squad can be tricky. Silent sniper feels very powerful, allowing to kill every enemies before being detected and thus avoid most of the infiltration sequences.
What a buggy piece of crap! I bought this and feel ripped off!=
I'm 20 hours in on hard mode and having a blast, 10/10 highly recommend this game to anyone who wants a challenge
Отличная тактическая игра! Постановка уровня Голливуда, заставки как в начале 2000 интересно наблюдать за происходящим. Гибкость настройки сложности. Есть немного багов, но не критично. 8 яйц ксеноморфов из 10.
