Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of Lieutenant Ellen Ripley in this action-packed shooter set in the iconic Alien universe. The game blends horror and sci‑fi as you battle face‑huggers, chest bursters, and three terrifying Queen bosses across a sprawling colony, prison, and alien ship. With 30 levels, multiple weapons, and CGI cut‑scenes, the single‑player experience delivers a story loosely based on the first three films, guided by text‑based mission briefings that keep the tension high from start to finish.

Step into the boots of a Colonial Marine and battle the terrifying Xenomorph threat across atmospheric, horror‑filled corridors. The game blends intense first‑person shooting with cooperative play, letting you and friends face the alien menace together. Featuring a gritty narrative set after the events of the original films, the title delivers a mix of single‑player missions and multiplayer modes, including split‑screen co‑op, that keep the tension high and the action relentless.
