В игре Aliens: Dark Descent вам предстоит взять под командование отряд опытных колониальных морпехов, чтобы остановить распространение жутких ксеноморфов на луне Лета. Управляйте своими солдатами в реальном времени, ведя их в бой с небезызвестными ксеноморфами, вышедшими из подчинения оперативниками алчной корпорации «Вейланд-Ютани» и ордой ужасающих существ, прежде не появлявшихся во вселенной «Чужих».

Вы — командир. Они — ваше оружие.

Проникайте в обширные открытые зоны-уровни вместе со своим отрядом и истребляйте находящихся там врагов, продуманно раздавая солдатам приказы с помощью интуитивного кнопочного управления. Действуйте крайне осторожно: враги будут подстраивать свою тактику под ваше поведение, чтобы выследить и убить — навсегда. Прокладывайте уникальные маршруты для выживания, создавая безопасные зоны и устанавливая датчики движения в живущем своей жизнью мире, где ваши действия меняют уровни навсегда.

Персонализируйте свой отряд, используя систему особых классов. Повышайте уровень и расширяйте специализацию своих солдат с помощью уникальных способностей и разнообразного оружия, а также защитного снаряжения и преимуществ для выполнения рискованных заданий на таящей непредсказуемые опасности территории. Развивайте свою базу для исследования новых технологий и дальнейшего улучшения отряда.

Грамотно распоряжайтесь ресурсами и идите на обдуманные риски, чтобы перехитрить самых смертоносных из существ, с которыми когда-либо сталкивалось человечество. Удастся ли вам и вашему отряду остановить распространение этих жутких созданий, пока не стало слишком поздно?

• Погрузитесь в уникальную захватывающую историю во вселенной «Чужих», посвященную противостоянию знаменитым ксеноморфам всех видов — от лицехватов до преторианцев, королев и прочих, — а также вышедшим из подчинения людям-коммандос и абсолютно новой угрозе, уникальной для сюжета этой игры о Чужих.
• Стратегически управляйте своим отрядом, меняя его тактику в зависимости от задания, следя за уровнем здоровья и психическим состоянием солдат, а также грамотно распределяя между ними ресурсы, чтобы избежать невосполнимых потерь и нервных срывов в команде.
• Прокладывайте уникальные маршруты для выживания в живущем своей жизнью мире, создавая безопасные зоны и устанавливая датчики движения, чтобы оставаться на шаг впереди кровожадных существ.
• Формируйте и прокачивайте отряды из морпехов 5 стартовых классов с десятками возможных специализаций, уникальных способностей и моделей оружия.
