According to journalists, Aliens: Dark Descent's addictive gameplay deserves praise first and foremost. The game was created with a strong respect for the original movies, so it should appeal to fans of the universe.
Unfortunately, in the opinion of some reviewers, the title is not fully polished, and emerging bugs can effectively take away the joy of playing.
"If it weren't for the technical issues, it would be one of the best Alien game ever. And it probably is. Borrowing features from the best troop-command tactical games and adding elements of its own, I don't think I've played anything that truly captures what was so cool about Alien since Aliens Versus Predator 2 by Monolith from 2001," concluded IGN's reviewer.
First impressions of the game on Steam also seem to be good. Among the player reviews issued so far (though still few), 86% praise Aliens: Dark Descent.
