Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Xbox, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

At first I wasnt a fan as the movement stlye but you slowing get a grip on it. if you are a Alien fan this game is a must play otherwise i would give it a solid 8 out of 10

Game is hard even on Medium mode but I really enjoyed it. The last chapter doesn't really fit with the rest of the game but I understand that they needed to close the story.

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.

No game has me legit going "Well, that's great. That's just f*** great, man! Now what the f*** are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty shi** now, man! That's it, man. Game over, man. Game over! What the f** are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?" than this game. Then I have to get my act together and finish the mission. Amazing Aliens atmosphere and gameplay is great.
A great tactical squad management game in the Aliens universe. You are commanding a squad of the Colonial Marines much like the movie Aliens (2). It has the iconic weapons, pulse rifle and smart gun. Also the one lines - what are you waiting for breakfast in bed. Love the tactical aspect of the game, where you need to situate your squad effectively to take down the aliens. Love the different classes as they have different uses for different scenario. Really love the anxiety inducing always on motion tracker knowing when and where the enemies are coming from. I also love the different ways and objectives you complete in each of the map. Must play for tactical and also aliens lore.
I liked it!
XCOM but with real-time tactics
雖然遊戲算好玩,特色跟缺點就是太難 常常幾個小時卡在同一關,不斷重複被發現、人死光、讀檔、被發現、人死光、讀檔的循環 比較適合時間夠多、喜歡魂系的人玩
A refreshingly original take on classic tactics. This game doesn’t just copy the old formulas, it approaches them in a non-standard way
This game is awesome. Would love another.
