Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop

You command a squad of marines sent into facilities overrun by alien creatures. Missions combine fighting through hostile areas with completing objectives under pressure. Shoot from a top-down perspective while coordinating with teammates in co-op for up to eight players, or play solo with AI squadmates. Marine classes bring different roles, and friendly fire makes positioning and communication important. Hack terminals, weld doors, and handle other mission tasks while managing your weapons and equipment. The game also offers challenge modifiers, PvP modes, and community-made maps and challenges through Steam Workshop.

Lead marines through alien-infested facilities, combining top-down shooting, class tactics and mission objectives.
