Aliens: Dark Descent

[Mike’s Monsters]

We are eating good lately! So much Alien and Predator content. Are we in a new golden age?

And Godzilla and Kong!

A new beginning has potentially begun!

Can our bodies handle all of this new stuff?

In Aliens: Dark Descent, command a squad of hardened Colonial Marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Lead your soldiers in real-time combat against iconic Xenomorphs, rogue operatives from the insatiable Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and a host of horrifying creatures new to the Alien franchise.

You are the commander. They are your weapon.

Infiltrate large open levels and annihilate enemies with your squad, dispatching orders strategically and intuitively at the touch of a button. Tread carefully, as death is permanent and your foes will adapt their tactics to your actions while hunting you down. Forge unique paths for survival, uncovering shortcuts, creating safe zones, and setting up motion trackers in a persistent world where your actions impact levels forever.

Customize your squad with a selection of different classes. Level up and specialize your soldiers with unique abilities and an arsenal of weapons, armor, and perks, for high stakes missions in treacherous territory. Develop your base to research new tech and improve your squad even further.

Manage your resources wisely and take calculated risks to outsmart the deadliest creature mankind has ever faced. Can you and your squad stop the outbreak before it's too late?

Face off in a gripping original Alien story against iconic Xenomorph creatures ranging from Facehuggers to Praetorians, Alien Queens and many more, including rogue human commandos and a brand-new threat unique to this Alien storyline

Lead strategically and change squad tactics from mission to mission, carefully managing your soldiers' health, resources, and sanity, to avoid permanent team losses and mental breakdowns

Forge unique paths for survival in a persistent world, uncovering shortcuts, creating safe zones and setting up motion trackers to stay one step ahead of these creatures

Assemble and level up squads composed of 5 starting Marines classes, with dozens of specializations, unique abilities and weapons.

"Iconic xenomorphs" lol

Description sounds interesting with whole "everyvaction impacts you going forward" thing. Curious to see how they gonna implement that

What about new f**king Predator games? Come on...

[PAS]

So it's an RTS? My hope has been restored

I hope so, I aint getting any younger!

So it sounds like it's a singleplayer-only game, which is a little surprising. Also odd that they only seem to imply that in the FAQ section there, but not outright state it either way.

Look awesome.  A little disappointed that traditional pulse rifle firing sound effects aren't being used for the M41 and the smartgun.  I understand other weapons sounding different but the weapons from the movie absolutely have to be kept traditional.

top down game no thank you
just do alien isolation 2

[Leggs.obj]

wish this was more like AvP:Extinction. Appreciate the idea to try something new but the whole 'Aliens' styled approach is getting..tired.

[Wweyland]

This was unexpected

[Vrastal]

it looks interesting, i really hope its single player  sick of multiplayer games being default on so many games. and i really hope we can play as aliens. i miss playing as an alien

[judge death]

Disapointed it wont be released on switch. :/

[Xiggz456]

Well this is unexpected but I'm hyped nonetheless! Do I spy something reminiscent of the Bug Men from the old "Colonial Marine"  comic?! Color me intrigued!!!

[Nukiemorph]

Game doesn't look terribly exciting, but I'm there.

Cool trailer though.

Trailer looked awesome until I saw the gameplay. Looks like a twin stick shooter or RTS and feels kinda cheap to me.
Based on it being a single player squad strategy game, I imagine it'll be like Gears Tactics, maybe with some Alien Swarm mixed in.
I'm sure they're someone's cup of tea, but I never finished either game.
