    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fun little shooter with lots of carnage.

    Alien Shooter is a fun little game with lots of chaos, gunfire and tiny, blown up, alien parts scattered around the floor.

    It follows a simple story, in which 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.

    You got a story mode in which you clear ten missions. They increase in difficulty and every mission, a new type of alien is introduced as a mini boss, before becoming regular enemies in the levels that follow.

    Besides this, you also got a survival mode, in which you must survive as long as you can. This becomes very hard, very quickly and only the most skilled player will survive longer than ten minutes as far as I can tell.

    Throughout the maps, various upgrades, ammo, health pickups and cash are present. They are well balanced and keep the game challenging.

    The graphics look nice, especially for the era this game came out. It is a top down perspective with 2D graphics that almost look 3D. The best part is that all the carnage, blood and alien parts stay on the ground, reflecting the heavy fighting that just took place. It is so epic to walk through the blood red corridors, searching for the last survivor of those motherf… The backgrounds are all nicely detailed and give you the feeling that you are actually fighting in buildings and offices, instead of blank corridors or open fields.

    The amount of aliens that can be on the same screen is impressive. More than a hundred can be attacking you at the same time, without slowing the game down or losing overview of the situation. Again, for the time, this is very impressive.

    The music is excellent. It has creepy ambient themes to build the tension, and once the horde is unleashed, the music shifts to blood pumping action to aid you in your onslaught.

    The controls are fluent and aiming, running and shooting all works perfectly. This is one of those games that makes you feel in control of the situation by the responsive controls.

    Alien Shooter uses some RPG mechanics in which you can upgrade your arsenal and skills. You can upgrade your health, buy new weapons and increase their damage. You can also collect various tools like flashlights and battle drones to do the dirty work for you. It is a nice addition.

    For the low price, and the nice, adrenaline pumped experience you get out of it, I really liked Alien Shooter and would recommend it to everyone.

    Alien Shooter's simple yet relatively fun gameplay did not last very long, to both its advantage and disadvantage.

    There is no story. Literally nothing.

    It is fun shooting aliens with interesting weapons and then it gets tedious. It release millions
    There is no story. Literally nothing.

    It is fun shooting aliens with interesting weapons and then it gets tedious.

    It release millions of enemies in a not enough room to swing a cat. Kill kill and it never ends. When you think it finally ended another wave spawns.

    Generally it fall into repetition after couple of minutes and it becomes unberable. Cut the electric enemy spawns, you kill them and do the same in later levels. This is the game. Sometimes there is enemy spawner and you destroy it. Wow so much variety in mission design.

    No innovation no change and it is not fair. Even serious sam is fair, atleast you got big ass space to run around.

    Overall atmosphere is weak. I am not even sure if there is atmosphere at all.

    It is uninspired, unpolished and basic.
