This game is currently in the Humble Choice for April 2023, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before May 2nd, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
Left 4 Dead with the Aliens franchise.
Aliens is a pretty major movie franchise. Xenomorphs are some of the deadliest and scariest life forms shown on film. H. R. Geiger did an incredible job bringing them to life. But you wouldn’t know that if this was the first game you played. Instead of a scary deadly enemy, you’re mowing down hundreds of xenomorphs per level, and slaughtering them left and right. This isn’t an Alien movie, it’s a Left 4 Dead clone where zombies are replaced by xenomorphs, though they do climb on walls and leap at the player.
The thing is, I played this for Xbox Game Pass for at least three to four hours. I've played another hour here, I even partnered up with someone on stream, thanks Royal, and I still don’t enjoy this. It’s a looter shooter, where your gear's stats will matter. You’ll mow down enemies all the time, except if you are under-leveled and then you’ll get swarmed instead. The levels all feel very similar, with only a couple of set pieces that stand out, and while franchise’s setting can be good, the combat and gameplay aren’t. It also doesn’t help that if you wipe, you’ll go back to the beginning of a level, which is about thirty minutes of effort.
Pick this up if you like the Aliens franchise and can forgive them for being turned into fodder. I killed at least 150 enemies in this level as did both of the other characters. That’s 450 xenomorphs killed in about 30 minutes? That’s kind of an insane number, isn’t it? Truthfully I don’t know, Google Bard and Chat GPT say the most that were killed in a single movie was maybe 150. I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of this franchise, it’s the first one that made me terrified of horror movies, but if you want a looter shooter with a zombie horde of xenomorphs that you can mow down with friends, this is absolutely for you. Everyone else probably can skip it.
