You can always come back, and the game even remembers your previous actions leaving the layout as it was when you left.Subscribe to Pure Xbox on YouTube Watch on YouTube Pulling out is always an option though, and sometimes an evacuation during a mission might be a better option than loosing all of your squad - especially if they have useful upgrades.
ALIENS DARK DESCENT RELEASE UPGRADE
You will have a huge roster of soldiers to choose from and upgrade during the game, but it will eventually get smaller, as the game features permadeath. How your soldiers will act during missions depends on their various mental traits, such as stubborn or determined. Put too much strain on a given team member, and they might start acting irrationally, missing their shots, disobeying orders, or even sabotaging your mission. Even your battle-hardened Colonial Marines are not immune to the horrific dangers they are constantly facing, and you'll have to not only manage their physical health but also their mental well-being. What we liked most about Aliens: Dark Descent is how the horror aspect also plays a role when managing your squad. Keeping a cool head means keeping your head
If only the soldiers cut shut out their traumatic experiences in the same way. With the help of deployable motion trackers, you can view the aliens' movements on the mini map (these can get destroyed though, so you better hide them well) and welding doors shut might cut off enemies from certain directions giving you a bit of breathing room. As power is often disabled due to all the aliens, explosions, and what not, you'll have to use a large electrical saw to open the doors, which leaves one of your team members extremely vulnerable.Įxploring the station and making shortcuts by opening doors helps you isolate the moving enemies and plan ambushes, which is key to survival. What lurks behind these is often unknown until you manage to get them open - it might be useful equipment or a Xenomorph just waiting for the chance to turn your squad into chewing gum. The moon stations primarily consist of tight corridors and rooms divided by heavy metallic doors. Just because the camera is top-down, doesn't mean you will see everything coming. Opening and closing doors is a central gameplay mechanic The visuals are not just an atmospheric backdrop, as the weird surroundings might also affect your characters mentally. Yet, thanks to some clever design decisions, the game still manages to add horror elements in some interesting ways both in terms of moment-to-moment gameplay and when it comes to larger strategic decisions. With its top-down perspective, Aliens: Dark Descent will probably not have you jumping out of your seat anytime soon.
A first-person camera or a third person view of a scared and vulnerable character makes you constantly fearful of what lurks around the next corner. One of the things that make horror, well horrifying, is of course the perspective. Since the game is based on the Alien Franchise, horror plays a large role in the game. With permadeath and enemies constantly on the move, whether Xenomorphs or mercenaries, you'll probably never get a relaxed moment. Tasked with stopping a Xenomorph outbreak on the moon Lethe, you take control of a team of five Colonial Marines, which can be replaced or upgraded between missions.
Aliens: Dark Descent is a tactical action game where you have to make tough decisions on the fly.
