    Great game to play with your friends. It's familiar to Alien Shooter franchise, but not better. Still, Pickens approves!

    I love this game, and yes I loved the original too.
    It can be played as you see fit, whether you like to set up group firing lines and    I love this game, and yes I loved the original too.
    It can be played as you see fit, whether you like to set up group firing lines and progress slowly to the objective or go hell for leather with your flamer and beat the speed run challenges is entirely up to you and your group.

    Unfortunately as with all MP games you will get people who don't care and just want to ruin the game, but there are plenty of servers and there is the handy vote kick option.
    As long as you connect to servers with a good ping you will have no connection issues. A lot of people complaining about these issues are only connecting to public games rather than dedicated servers. Often "crashes" are in fact the host leaving.

    Bots can be a bit of a pain, however there are fixes to make them "smarter" but really you either want to team up in MP, or go for it solo. Any player worth his salt should be able to complete Landing Bay on Hard by themselves ;D

    With easily 4 times the content (including campaigns, weapons and game modes) of its predecessor, ASRD is a huge success in revamping AS. Steam workshop has been added for ASRD making it even easier to add extra content than ever before, no more searching for mods then replacing steamaps files

    The graphics still look fresh. Sure, they aren't top end, but neither is my PC, however my computer runs smooth, the game runs smooth, and it looks ALOT better than a lot of games around.

    All of this and I hadn't even mentioned this game is free. What more can you ask for? 10/10

For a start the game is free, you can download it on steam and play it, and see for yourself what the game is like, very easily. Do not miss out - give it a go, you will not regret it!

    It is coop tactical squad shooter type of game. It is a modification of the original alien swarm that was released on steam in 2010. Reactive Drop has added support for 8 players, with is tons of fun, they have also added a bunch of new difficulty modes and challenge settings, and a host of new maps / campaigns. Also steam workshop is nicely integrated / supported.

    If you liked Alien Swarm, you will love Reactive Drop, since it is Alien Swarm with some added features and content you can choose to enjoy.

    As a coop online game its gameplay is very addictive, you can host games easily just a couple of clicks - create game - you are running a game anyone can join - or just your friends if you want. If you have an old computer or extreme low bandwidth internet connection it maybe laggy for 8 players. There are plenty of dedicated servers with appropriate bandwidth that will give you a smooth 8 player online game though. Most people will likely already have computers and internet connections that can host for 8 players fine via the game.

    Like any game where anyone can easily host a game for a more than a few players - and there are server side hordes of enemies - not every host in the game list will be low latency all the time...    … Full Review »
