Alien: Isolation Expansions & DLCs

Action 03 March 2015

Alien: Isolation - The Trigger is the fifth and final DLC for the science fiction horror game Alien: Isolation developed by Creative Assembly. This DLC is available for the game's season pass owners, but can also be bought separately. The expansion takes place prior to the events of the main game. We play as Ricardo, who, along with his supervisor, tries to remove a xenomorph from Sewastopol's deck. The Trigger does not introduce any new game modes or features and focuses on the already known Survivor mode. We explore three previously inaccessible areas of Sewastopol, with the disabled robot storage being one of them. All the time we have to hide from the murderous alien creature and the less, but still, dangerous androids. The entire expansion is a nice challenge for those who like survival because the new maps are filled with narrow corridors where it's difficult to find a hideout. The Alien that hunts us moves fast and is extremely responsive to any kind of activity or action we take.

The fourth expansion to a first-person survival horror - Alien: Isolation, developed by Creative Assembly. Like the previous expansion to the game (Safe Heaven), the Lost Contact DLC is a variation of the game’s Survivor Mode. However, in this particular DLC, the player returns to the Sebastopol space station and assumes the role of Axel. Gameplay mechanics build on the exploration of a new map, which now includes private Lorenz quarters and the station’s backup power generator area. The mission introduced by Lost Contact is divided into 10 challenges and features significantly higher difficulty level resulting from the fact that this time around the players have to fight off enemy waves of androids, humans and the Alien itself. In comparison the previous Alien: Isolation expansions, Lost Contact significantly stands out - during the mission, players have a lot of ground to cover. Moreover, should one fall in battle, he has to start all over, since he failed to complete the task he was assigned with. What makes it all slightly easier is the ability to construct useful items - this includes some new weapons such as a revolver or a crossbow. For completing this new mission, a player is rewarded with various items and perks.

The third expansion to the first-person perspective survival horror Alien: Isolation. The expansion is included in the season pass and offers an additional option to play the game in survival mode that is related to gathering resources. The protagonist of the DLC is Hughes, a character known from the basic campaign who is working on the Sewastopol station as a signalman. He finds a safe haven from the alien and the androids but his resources are dwindling. He must find the courage to leave the hideout and gather the items that will finally help him escape this cursed place. The challenge features ten levels, during which the player must avoid all dangers. The expansion includes a novelty that makes the task much harder – the map is much larger than previously and the player has only a single life. When the protagonist dies, the campaign must be started from the beginning. In each level the player can gain score that is related to gaining access to additional resources.
