    There's Aliens. You shoot them. The title is very apt. However, you shoot a LOT of aliens in a LOT of different ways, it is always accessible yet challenging, and the graphics are simple, yet it works for what it is. Sigma team has a formula which it uses, and has thoroughly mastered: Make shooting 1 alien feel very satisfying, then add as many enemies falling into the body count as There's Aliens.

If Diablo is too deep and complicated for what your looking for at the moment, you can't go wrong here.… Expand

    I got this "Shooter" quadrilogy on special for 5bux a while ago and this game is the best of them. There's loads of character customization with room for multiple playthroughs depending on how you build your BALD. Chock full of old-school gameplay, bad dialogue, the worse voice acting since sega CD, the fun of this game comes from chewing through waves of cannon fodder with bigger and moreI got this "Shooter" quadrilogy on special for 5bux a while ago and this game is the best of them.

    Получилась более продуманной, чем первая часть.

    Reloaded may not revolutionize anything, but it is definitely not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

    Как первая часть, только скучней и казуальней.

    This is a retarded version of Alien Shooter: Vengeance. It dumbs down all the elements of the original AS 2, while giving almost nothing in return. So, what's new? 2 new levels and the game has a smaller file size and THAT'S IT. What's missing? Dumbed down rpg elements. Soundtrack has less songs. Multiplayer component was also removed. This is bad. It's sad to see an "upgraded" version ofThis is a retarded version of Alien Shooter: Vengeance.

Dumbed down rpg elements. Soundtrack has less songs. Multiplayer component was also removed. This is bad. It's sad to see an "upgraded" version of the game being worse in every possible way, but it's true. The 2 new levels break the balance of the game, because they're in the middle of the game. So, the game is already easier than AS Vengeance but those 2 new levels make it even less interesting. It's a 5/10 from me. Pickens sad.… Expand

    Just like how Captain Price said:

    "That was an improvement, but it's not hard to improve on garbage. Try it again."

    Don't believe the low reviews, those people obviously never played a TopDown game before. This ia one of the best game for the time it came. Too bad lot of the fans got it pirated from myplaycity and ruined devs

    8/10. Лучший изометрический мясной шутер до сих пор. Прокачка, оружие, враги - все прекрасно в этой игре сделано.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nice upgrade from the original game with more levels and carnage.

    Alien Shooter 2 is the direct sequel to the first game and offers a whole lot of content like more levels, upgraded visuals, new weapons and a nice, dark atmosphere.

    The game follows the same story and principle of the first installment. A military complex is attacked out of the blue by hordes of hungry and vile aliens. You, a nameless badass, need to defend the base at all costs and wipe out the alien scum. You got many weapons and explosives to your disposal to fulfill this task. Gear up and let’s get to work.

    The story mode now features seventeen unique missions with various locations. There is now also dialogue to enhance the story experience. Besides the story mode, you got two other modes to play, like the classic survival mode from the first game, and a new mode called Gun Stand. In this mode, you power up the same gun throughout endless waves, making it stronger. Survive for as long as you can.

    The graphics received a big upgrade. Not only in polished models and textures, but also because of the shading and, especially, the lighting. Areas are now dark and more horror themed. The effects, the gore and the animations are also more detailed and fluent. There are some fog, rain and water effects that make the game look very nice, especially considering how simple the game is.

    When talking sound effects and music, they are epic. The effects have been improved and the battle tracks are, like the first game, full of upbeat music and rhythms, pumping you up for the battle.

    In terms of controls, they are just as fluent as the first game and work fine.

    Alien Shooter 2 adds a ton of new weapons and items. You can now collect flare guns, radars, freeze guns and many more. You also don’t longer need to use one specific weapon to level up that weapon, XP is now shared throughout the weapons. There are also many new alien types, each more scarier or viler than the first.

    The only problem I encountered with this game was that I could not see the enemies very well at times, because of the new gore and blood effects. Walls are painted red in some cases, making red aliens harder to spot.

    The skill system has been improved, more skills and relevant upgrades are now available. It is a solid take on the RPG element. It now features an inventory slot system to stash your collected stuff, in case you need it later.

    Overall, I loved Alien Shooter 2. It is simple, yet so much fun to kill a few hours. It is cheap and offers much content for the price.

    Definitely recommend this underrated little gem.    … Expand

    Larger and more in-depth than the first remake, Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded packs a nice amount of fun into an incredibly small package.
