Alien vs Predator (SNES) - Longplay
3This was the game with the awesome box art that you grab at the Blockbuster and can't wait to get home. It's a beat em up where you play as the Predator fighting a bunch of Xenomorphs, there's no way this could suck! Oh, but it does... hard. Alien Vs Predator just feels off right at the title screen. The moveset is limited, controls clunky, no enemy variety, and stages take forever. Getting to the big bosses doesn't matter either, because if you don't cheese them out they'll kill you in seconds. What a trainwreck...
Alien vs. Predator for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), released in 1993 by Activision, is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game that pits the universe's deadliest species against one another in a battle for survival. Based on the popular comic series and film franchises, the game allows players to assume the role of a Predator, hunting down the iconic Xenomorphs across various levels.
The game is set in a dystopian future where the city of New Shanghai is under siege by Xenomorphs. The Predator, armed with a variety of advanced alien weaponry such as wrist blades, spears, and shoulder-mounted plasma cannons, must clear the city of the alien menace. The player progresses through different stages, each featuring swarms of Xenomorphs and occasional boss battles against larger, more powerful versions of the creatures.
The graphics are detailed for the era, with well-animated sprites and atmospheric backgrounds that capture the dark and gritty tone of the Alien and Predator universes. The game also features a range of enemy types, including facehuggers, chestbursters, and full-grown Xenomorph warriors, each with unique attack patterns that require different strategies to defeat.
The combat system is straightforward, focusing on close-range melee attacks with occasional opportunities to use the Predator's high-tech weapons. Players can also perform special moves and combos to take down multiple enemies at once. The game's difficulty increases as players progress, with tougher enemies and more complex level designs.
While Alien vs. Predator for the SNES does not feature multiplayer or deep narrative elements, it offers a solid action experience with fast-paced gameplay and the thrill of controlling one of science fiction's most fearsome hunters. The game is a nostalgic reminder of the crossover appeal between two of the most iconic franchises in sci-fi history.
