Aliens: Dark Descent Review (One Of The Best Alien Games, But With Flaws)
4Aliens: Dark Descent Review
Aliens: Dark Descent finds itself squarely between the tense atmosphere of Ridley Scott’s 1979 Alien and the explosive, action focused sequel Aliens by James Cameron. Aliens: Dark Descent is easily one of the best Alien games to ever exist in the long history of the IP.
Deploy into a hostile territory, try to accomplish as many goals as possible and hopefully extract with as many marines as you can. The game has a strong risk vs reward aspect, where you always want to attempt just one more objective, but with stress elevating on your marines, supplies dwindling and threats rising, the risk exponentially increases.
Aliens: Dark Descent is the type of game that you hope gets a sequel to refine the solid foundations, as this isn’t a perfect game by any means. There are numerous issues including plenty of visual bugs, janky looking character models, voice lines that get repeated thousands of times, which is par for the RTS course, but this isn’t “Game Over, Man” as the core gameplay is tense, challenging and most importantly, plenty of fun.
