Aliens: Dark Descent is an upcoming real time strategy game. It is being developed by Tindalos Interactive and is being published by Focus Entertainment. The game is being created using Unreal Engine 4 and will be available on cross platforms. This single player action strategy game will take players to Moon Lethe. Set after the events of Alien 3, players will play as a squad commander of Colonial Marines. The object is to stop a Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe and put a stop to the rogue operatives from Weyland- Yutani Corporation as well as horrifying creatures. The game plays from a top- down perspective. In an exclusive preview, we are shown the flow of the game.
Players are the commander and the marines are your weapons. The squad will be issued commands and the party members who are best fitted for the task issued will be assigned to complete that job. For players to better immerse themselves in the world of aliens, players will have the option to play on a keyboard or with a game controller. Strategy is key in this game and gamers will have to pick their moves carefully. People have the ability to slow down the speed of time in combat for a bit in order to gain an advantage and give strategic commands to their squad. Players must be careful about how they engage their foes. Death is permanent in the game and once a marine falls in battle, they cannot be replaced.
Explore large levels and complete missions and objectives while leveling up your marines. This will give your squad special abilities, perks, and gear such as pulse rifles, pistols and shotguns. Customization will also be available to further optimize squads. Aliens: Dark Descent will be released June 20, 2023, and will be available to play on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
