We Love It's Guide to…

Aliens: Dark Descent

You command a squad of Colonial Marines sent to Planet Lethe to confront a Xenomorph outbreak, along with hostile human operatives and other threats. The campaign follows their missions through a persistent world where the squad’s actions can change the levels. Guide the squad as a unit through large, multi-route environments, completing objectives and searching for supplies. Combat unfolds in real time, with tactical slowdown or pause for issuing orders. Use stealth, motion trackers, traps, safe rooms and defensive positions to limit detection, since enemy activity can escalate into increasingly dangerous hunts. Between deployments, manage the Marines’ health, stress and resources, and decide when to rest, treat injuries or return to a mission with a fresh squad. Soldiers gain experience, classes and abilities, while base research and equipment upgrades expand your options. Losses can be permanent, making squad composition and preparation part of the campaign.

Command Colonial Marines on Lethe, sneaking and fighting through a Xenomorph outbreak in real-time tactical missions.
