Certainly looks worth the price of admission. I have to wonder whether my Xperia Arc S will be up to the task though, and what likelihood there might be of this coming to the PSN as a downloadable title...

Played the first 4 missions of each race. severely disappointed but not surprised. Terrible lag when more than one enemy appears,  attacks are maddeningly slow, controls seem to be unresponsive 50% of the time.

Extremely low FPS is currently the biggest problem along with controls. It's pretty for a mobile. I find it to be more frustrating than fun.

Customization is pretty cool, not entirely accurate but close.

6/10. made for top of the line current gen and next gen devices.

looks better than ACM a million years even its just a dumb beat em up :) looks fun

no kidding, that was exactly my thought when I watched the latest trailer :-[

Better than A: CM?  Lol, no.  Just lower expectations considering the platform.  I think it looks great but its as boring as can be.  Runs smooth as butter on iPhone 4S.

What device are you using?

I enjoy and like A:CM but how on earth is it possible that this game looks better and more polished!!?

Now downloading it! :-)

Bought this for my Samsung galaxy S2. having a blast with it!
;D

Its a wonderful little action game with a surprisingly good story (for AVP and video game standards)
Lots of to unlock, gratifying gameplay & varying locations & cool boss battles!
DO BUY. if you have the necessary device for it.

Sometimes when there is a lot of enemies on screen, the frame rate can drop a little, otherwise it runs pretty smooth!

Dear Angry Mobs, please release this game in the PSN store for the Vita for 4.99 so that I may play it with real controls and not the controls on my phone screen, which I hate doing. :)  kk thanks!

LOL the running animation of the Alien looks better on this 5 dollar game then Aliens:CM

I sure hope so. I don't enjoy these types of games on my iPhone. It's no fault of the phone itself, as it wasn't really designed for this, but some great games have come out with the controls on the screen and I can never see what the heck I'm doing as my thumbs are always in the way. It's not so terrible on the iPad, but I prefer thumb sticks. For me, touch screen phones are perfect for all those other type of games, like PvZ or Angry Birds etc.

I emailed them to see if they have any plans for a Vita version, we'll see what the response is.

Indeed. Please let us know if Angry Mobs has any plans of porting it or what not. As. like you said, I prefer thumb sticks with these types of games.

Runs great on my overclocked Nexus 7 running M-Kernel a37, and Paranoid Android 3+
Very enjoyable game. Worth the 5 Dollars.

You can ask them there. They will be answering questions about the game at 12:00 PST (in about 15 min).

I hope he answers your questions on there, I saw it and you saved me from having to ask him about PSN.

Well, I asked him directly about it coming to the Vita, and this was what he said:

"I know, it would be perfect for the PS Vita. The game is powered by the Unity engine, and the PS Vita is one of the very few devices it doesn't support. Once it does, we'll definitely look into it."

QuoteThere is just so much content in the game, it was impossible to make it run on all lower end devices. We focused to make the gameplay enjoyable on a touch based mobile device. We'll consider porting it to other platforms in the future, but it's a pretty complicated distribution process.

Then don't make it availible on lower end devices, instead of having people like me waste $5 on a game that doesn't even work.

Only thing i'm annoyed about is that it takes place in Paul WS Anderson's Alien vs Predator universe. Just like AVP 2010. I really hate that movie and everything they did with it. From the designs and the way the Predators and Aliens look..and now they've added the awful looking Preds from Predators.

I would have enjoyed it much more if it had nothing to do with those movies, and was based on the Dark Horse comic universe. I liked Aliens vs Predator before Anderson's film came along.

To be fair it just takes place in "The AvP Universe", which is all-encompassing and includes all 4 Alien movies, all 3 Predator movies, and both AvP movies.

Also has anyone else been able to get Gamecenter to work on the iOS version? I wish I could check out my achievements and stuff in-game, but it isn't logging into Gamecenter at all for some reason.

So far I am really not liking this game; there are a lot of glitches.  First off, there are some problems syncing achievements unlocked in-game with the Game Center; that is perhaps the most annoying.  The second problem is that the screen sometimes becomes unresponsive so when you are doing a swipe combo to finish an enemy off, the game doesn't register your action and the enemy breaks free of your grab, making the game harder than it was originally intended.  The third problem is that the game crashes somewhat frequently and is really annoying to go back to your last checkpoint especially if getting past enemies is made even more difficult by the aforementioned 2nd problem.

What device are you playing it on?

iPhone 5; the recommended iOS.

Lots of footage on Youtube for those who don't have access to the game:

From what you said here and a few other people I've heard from. I wonder if there was any real testing of the game before release? I mean it doesn't look or sound like A:CM by any means. I'm just curious as to why there are so many issues with glitches?

The game was in beta for a while, I was one of the beta testers. The company was very responsive to issues the beta testers had and did daily updates. It's a shame to hear there are so many problems.

There was a decent amount of testing from fans (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z5FQMrzv-I#ws) indeed. The main issue ATM is compatibly problems with some of the supported devices which can make the game crash or unresponsive on occasion. I'm sure they will keep looking into it.

I sure hope so because as much as it annoys me of how much I was looking forward to this just to end up paying for a broken game that wont even play, I still want to play it.

Well that is good to hear. I appreciate a company that shares the game making process with it's fans.

Is there a rough list of devices that we know of that are having issues with running the game?

QuoteIt's a shame to hear there are so many problems.

I agree. The game seems like a really fun little beat'm up. Compared to say... AVP:R on the PSP.

Looks lame to me.. Looks like a smaller rehash of AVP 2010 only in 3rd person, nothing exciting. Nothing will beat AVP 2

For a phone game its great. I have a droid bionic and it works fine. It lags a little when there's more than two caritors on screen but it never crashes on me. It reminds me of the old school capcom avp game. It has a cool little story to. I think consoles should make a third person action game instead of fps. This game has lots of customization to

Seriously? I'm on the 5th Gen Touch and I can't load the third mission. Crashes at the loading screen every time, been at it all day. And yesterday I couldn't even load the FIRST mission.

Anyone runs across the thermal glitch?
When you switch to thermal vision and the screen just freezes. >:(

Even with all the bugs, I think I'll still purchase the game. However, I won't began playing it, until at least most of the main glitches are dealt with. Namely, the ones that adversely effect the core gameplay.

Wacky. I'm well into the game and haven't had any issues whatsoever. I don't know what to say I guess.

How far are you?  I can't get past Alien Level 7 - Stalkers; I'm stuck. :(

Stuck as in the game crashes, or stuck as in it's just too difficult?

Stalkers is a SUPER-hard level, I'd highly recommend going back and playing Alien Side Mission 1 (Maternal Instinct) over and over to level up your Alien. Beating that level will generally net you 30,000+ XP per play through, and that's just points from killing enemies. You can't actually "fail" it unless you die, you just get bonus points for each egg saved. It's by far the most profitable side mission in terms of XP, and it takes like 5 minutes to play.

A few other helpful tips for that level:

- learn to love the Acid Pool ability - it makes Shield Synthetics drop their shields instantly, and if you can get a flamethrower Marine to walk over it you'll weaken him considerably

- Dash Through is also really handy, as you'll deal damage against enemies without getting stopped by them - if nothing else you can cheese your way through fights by just dashing through enemies over and over until they die or you can execute them

- when you get to the sentry gun up on the cliff that fires on enemy Aliens, try to time your passing in front of the sentry gun for when it's mowed down most of the enemy Aliens. The Aliens respawn infinitely, so if you wait too long you'll get mobbed by a fresh set of 4 when you cross in front of the gun. If you time it right, you can end up only having to fight 1 or 2 surviving Aliens.

- when fighting Aliens, take it slow, abuse Dash Through, and let your health recharge - other than the sentry gun bit, there's limited numbers of them. When you see one spawn, back off a bit and let it and its friends come to you, deal with them, and then move forward. Probably the hardest "fight" is when two Warriors attack you simultaneously while you're in range of the Predator's shoulder cannon, but the Predator is on a rock ledge you can partially hide underneath to avoid his gun. Keep moving with Dash Through and stay under the ledge as much as possible, and it's not too hard to take down the two Warriors.

This is my original post about how I'm stuck:

QuoteI need help with Alien Level 7 (Stalkers):

Spoiler

I'm on the part where you have to get past the sentry gun and then try to evade Mr. Black and his mind-controlled Aliens.  I follow the objective marker but it leads me to a cliff I can't cross.  I can't fight Mr. Black and his Aliens cause they swarm me.  Please help.

[close]

So am I supposed to kill all the Aliens and Mr. Black?

Yes, but if you progress slowly, you don't have to face them all at once. Like I said in my earlier post, move slowly until a few Aliens move to engage you, then back off and deal with them. Once all the Aliens are done you can fight the Predator by himself, and he's actually pretty easy to kill.

Please I need help because im stuck in predator level 8
