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.

Reviews
He devuelto este juego por dos razones: 1) Dos CTD en 26 minutos jugados. 2) Lo poco que he visto entre CTD y CTD no es un juego de estrategia, sino mas bien un Resident Evil con aliens.
Awesome and hard game really enjoy to play it good mechanics, super dark environments

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 20 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10.5 places towards #1, and the 2,491 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

Fun game, I wish they incorporated a slow and pause combo vs just one or the other. Expected this to be turn-based, but with the pause feature, it's pretty close. Not a fan of situations just popping off and usually taking out one of your people... I don't see myself ever playing this past medium cause well, medium is pretty difficult. Glad to finally see a good Alien game lol, got Fireteam as well and reviews are good so going to that next!
I bought this and totally forgot about it—such a huge mistake. I had no idea how awesome it was! It’s tough at the start, and honestly, it stays pretty brutal, haha. But clearing missions is incredibly satisfying, and the progression system is almost perfect. Your soldiers actually deal with physical and mental fatigue, plus trauma, so you really have to manage their downtime and therapy
Best Game Ever!!!
Great game for fans of Alien Franchise and strategy games. Great narrative flow, gorgeous looking, very nice.
Fun and challenging game with great attention to detail and map design. The voices get a little annoying after a while with the quips mid game, but other than that it was a great RTS game. Not sure if there would be a second one but I'd look forward to it if its similar to this style.
这tmd是给人玩的？
I have not finished Aliens: Dark Descent, but it has kept me entertained for 11 hours so far. I think it is a good game, but there are a few notable bugs that you can look up on the internet. Typically, in order to get past the bug, you have to load a previous game and redo it from that point.
Loved the real-time squad mechanics. The Alien setting was fully respected and used to great results.
