    You HAVE to be kidding!!! Why are all these awesome reviews being written. The game is tedious, cliched and the worst crime of all, it's boring. When you have to spend 45 minutes to make a move which should be 45 seconds simply because you have to stop and back track every 10 seconds because Oh, another alien just pops up and seems to 'mysteriously' walk in your direction or you getYou HAVE to be kidding!!! Why are all these awesome reviews being written. The game is tedious, cliched and the worst crime of all, it's boring. When you have to spend 45 minutes to make a move which should be 45 seconds simply because you have to stop and back track every 10 seconds because Oh, another alien just pops up and seems to 'mysteriously' walk in your direction or you get spotted and almost instantly ripped apart (ON EASY!). It's an absolute joke of a game and I am seriously annoyed I read any of these reviews. Another total failure of a game. Poorly optimised, poorly executed, average graphics and extremely tedious.… Expand

    But the big problem on consoles are the controls, and across platforms, the bugs that straddle the line between minor glitches and collapsing game mechanics. Graphically, then, it's not exactly a glamorous experience either. Dark Descent should be approached with caution, and it's entirely possible that the game won't suit you for a myriad of reasons.

    Aliens: Dark Descent comes almost out of nowhere to present the first game that truly captures the essence of James Cameron’s Aliens movie. Tindalos Interactive expertly creates a tactical game built from the ground up for the gamepad, that provides the tension and fear that should be expected when a small team of marines must fight for their life against ferocious aliens.

    Aliens: Dark Descent is a great surprise, one of the greatest of the year, and absolutely essential for the long time fans. Mixing elements of other fabulous games line XCOM and Darkest Dungeon, the result it's a fantastic action/strategy game.
