If your a fan of the Alien movies you will love this game!!!!

Alien Go BRRRR

Good to get cheap.

Get it for $15 then it's worth it.

Don't have any friends who play this...

I picked it up on sale with the dark descent (which is epic)
and this one's "experience" was waiting in lobby and nothing else.

Get it with a few friends or don't get it at all

You know, they nailed the sound design, the feel, etc. of the Alien franchise. Obviously, they embraced the Alien 2 style, dakka dakka, instead of horror, like in Alien: Isolation.

That being said I think the game itself is rather boring. You embark on a series of missions with up to 2 team mates. Over the course of 4 "campaigns" you'll take on 12 missions (plus 3 DLC missions). You'll discover a space station, ancient Engineer ruins, and clear out a Xenomorph Hive at the end.

In the mean time you'll keep pressing the firing button, use some abilities, and level up your character to do some more damage, etc. The problem is that every mission and every class is basically the same. Sure, the gunner can throw a grenade and has a shotgun (or equivalent), while the Heavy has the coolest gun in the game by far, the Smart Gun ... the Doc is more focussed on healing, the Tech more on deploying turrets, yadda yadda, but ultimately the classes are very similar, which isn't surprising, considering the setting.
The enemies, likewise, are also quite samey. You got your standard "runners", and then some special Xenos, some ambush you, some explode, one stalks you ... and the rest are just big, burly tanks soaking up your ammo. It's all fine for like 1 playthrough, but then what? That takes you about 6 hours. Then you unlock quick play, horde mode and hardcore, which gives you one life and increasingly higher difficulties.
In some missions you will face Synths, though, which can do a lot of damage to you from range.
You can also vary up missions with certain combat cards, making them more difficult or more rewarding, etc.

I guess, it's okay if you just want some mindless fun with 2 of your friends... but that's gonna set you back 90 bucks between the 3 of you. And there are so many better alternatives out there. Like Skaventide, which is so much more diverse.

This game feels like the typical "this genre is popular right now, so let's quickly make a game like that". It's kinda bare bones if you ask me. And of course, there's lots of expensive visual DLC to buy ... more outfits, yay.

On the bright side: Playing this "solo" with 2 bots is absolutely viable, at least on the lowest difficulty, and probably the 2nd lowest as well. The bots will stand in your way, run into your field of fire, not use their abilities properly, not communicate with you and occasionally hit things ... so, just like your average human player in any of these games. ;)

The "story" is also superfluous, sadly, since it doesn't really reveal anything new about the Alien franchise. Quite the opposite, because it retreads the whole Engineer ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nobody liked, which is why they quickly abandoned that idea again after Prometheus. Wayland-Yutani have discovered something, done experiments, everything went to ♥♥♥♥♥ and now there's a Queen ... are you going to fight and kill said Queen? Nah ... you'll run away and blow up the entire space station. Sorry, if that's considered a spoiler, but there's really nothing to spoil here.

All in all it's not a terrible waste of time, but I wouldn't spend any more time on it than I already have. And unfortunately, the entire community seems dead. I spent 15 minutes in queue and got nothing.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
