Alien: Rogue Incursion is a faithful adaptation of the iconic series, capturing the panic-inducing dread and relentless action synonymous with the movies. Each step through the dark, metallic corridors is nerve-wracking, thanks to a suspenseful score and the meticulous attention to detail. While more action-heavy than Alien: Isolation, the game’s weighty, tactile weapons enhance the immersion, delivering a visceral and satisfying experience. The balance of tension and combat makes Rogue Incursion an essential addition to any VR library.
XboxEra: 6.5 / 10 by Jesse Norris
I like every part of Alien: Rogue Incursion except for the most important one, the combat. It looks amazing, sounds great, and has a solid story. I am sad to say that I found said combat, and how often it was forced upon me, to make the game tough to recommend at launch. Not only that, but this is a ‘surprise’ Part One. At $40 I hope that the full package, many patches later, can find the brilliance that’s hidden underneath this game’s faults.
Impulsegamer: 5 / 5 by Nay Clark
Alien: Rogue Incursion is a mandatory game to play and a perfect representation of a quintessential VR experience. It has an intriguing narrative that fans and newcomers can easily enjoy, incredibly fun and smooth gameplay, jaw dropping graphics with audio to match, and it does all of this by actually putting you within its domain. The horror elements are enticing and even if you are scared, the game makes you determined to keep playing and have fun without effort. Being in this world is comfortable and you will have a hard time putting this face hugging adventure down. Big things come from small beginnings, and as the most recent access point into the franchise, Alien: Rogue Incursion is definitely a big deal and a must play.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Description
Alien: Rogue Incursion is a survival horror game based on the license of the cult film series, initiated in 1979 by the movie Alien, directed by Ridley Scott. The game was developed with virtual reality sets in mind, and was created by the Survios studio, whose portfolio includes such projects as Creed: Rise to Glory and The Walking Dead Onslaught.
Plot
The action of Alien: Rogue Incursion is set between the films Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986). During the game we take on the role of a hero who ends up on the inhospitable planet Purdan, specifically - in a gloomy facility located on its surface. Given that this place is overrun by creatures called xenomorphs, his stay on this globe quickly becomes a real struggle for survival.
Gameplay
In Alien: Rogue Incursion we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). During the game we explore a research center bathed in darkness and carry out the missions set before us, thereby pushing the story forward.
We are constantly hunted by aliens and we must be vigilant at every step. The behavior of xenomorphs is supervised by artificial intelligence, which ensures that they move and attack in a natural, yet unpredictable way.
Useful information about the location of adversaries is provided to us by a special motion sensor. The game provides us with a pulse rifle, shotgun, and other murder tools, but engaging in open combat is not always the ideal solution here. Often a better tactic is to act quietly (noise attracts the attention of enemies) and creatively use the environment.
Engine
Alien: Rogue Incursion runs on Unreal Engine 5.

Alien: Isolation Fans, Pay Attention - Alien is Getting a New Horror Game
The video game Aliens has been announced, which appears to be an item aimed - at least in part - at fans of Alien: Isolation. Unfortunately, for now we do not know much about it, and the release seems very far away.
