This game has sooo many awesome elements to it I dont know where to begin. So ill just say BUY IT

Sept. 2024

In recalling my experience playing this several years ago... On the surface this is one of those games that seem's pretty straightforward and easy to play. Once you get into it you learn how hard it can be because the enemies are numerous and can get quite tanky in certain situations. As a result you can't just stroll in and shoot and blow up everything you see. You need to be smart about when to fight, who to fight, who to blow up, and when to retreat vs. outright run away. Mix that with the fact that you need to scavenge resources during the mission in order to have enough supplies to survive, plus the fact that you can't always clear all the objectives, it can make for a chaotic experience that's quite satisfying at the same time. Not to mention team composition when it comes to the different classes/loadouts you can select from while trying to take into account how well it will synergize with the rest of your team. I remember having a whole lot of fun trying to coordinate in coop without voice chat and lead teams through to a successful extraction. Patience and discipline go a long way to making it out of a mission alive. So many matches lost because of getting greedy with objectives or sloppy with explosives and ammo. Shame the isometric view horde extraction games aren't as popular as 1st/3rd person ones. Either way, this game is definitely underrated in that regard.

Definitely for fans of 40K and Alien. This is a pretty fun game. It's not a AAA title and there is some jank, but for $10 full price, its worth it. The campaign difficulty ramps up pretty quickly and its a nice challenge. There is also a survival mode that I haven't spent a lot of time in but it's pretty fun. If you're on the fence, its cheap and worth your time.

June 2024

Interesting concept with mediocre execution. 6/10 I played through the entire campaign and started "survival", but didn't finish because the gameplay gets stale. I was really looking forward to the "tactical" mode (time slows and you can give out orders), but some UI and gameplay decisions made it a chore to use after hours of play. - The game auto selects the leader when you enter or leave tactical mode, - The only way to view skill cooldowns is to select each character, - Auto aim doesn't turn back on when the marine kills their target or if they are getting attacked. I'd only recommend it to people who are really into the genre and who don't have anything else to play. Also, I didn't have any problems running on new hardware.

March 2024

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.
