As a miniature war gamer, I have no complaints. This is a great substitute while opponents are scarce. I would really like to see a sequel! 5/5

Good fun, I often have a marine with a bayonet next to a spawn point with guard and just nail them for free as they come out.

Very very nice game. Although, the excessive levelling bonuses, that were not in the original, make the game go from challenging to boring easy.

Great game. Longer, more depth, more weapons, more characters, level editor, more challenge would be great. I was able to beat the last level without taking any damage or using any ammo crates. Careful plays allow beating of any level without an ammo refill or taking any damage. Still, fun, and I had to restart a couple times after I had a bad start. I'll giver her 5/5

go here to play the hacked version:

I only used the infinite ammo and cooldown, and that made the game actually playable and still challenging. Now obviously if you use the other hacks it wont be fun anymore.

This game needs to be much longer then it is now. a few more levels, a skirmish mode, heck lets ask for a level editor while we're at it. This game is just so brilliant!

for me, mission 3 was the hardest... died 3 times there, and only there.. great game, 5/5 a 100%, but its too short, and im not that eager to do it once again.. also, it would be nice to have specifications for each marines.. early in the game, i wqas like "he will be a sniper, he will be a guard".. but in late game, everyone did one hits or so.

Great game (5/5)! Three possible improvements for the second version (or for more level packs):
1) Add the possibility to skip (or hasten) enemy turn.
2) Adjust the difficulty, now it becomes too easy too soon.
3) Make it longer :)

bladecat4: if you run out of ammo then something is wrong, there are crates where you can replenish ammo and if you run out of them too then... I feel sorry for you :)))

Really nice game , unfortunately the Ai Opponents are really stupid and theres no real challenge... but theres potential
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game is good but not great, it has a lot of potential... After a while you feel like you want to play because you enjoy leveling your soldiers and the game itself is pretty cool, but at the same time you get bored because enemy turns take too long and there is no real story... I hope there will be a sequel to this, improved and with a storyline! :)

Nice game. Clearly inspired by the board game Space Hulk.
Please make it harder though, and with greater emphasis on developing different skills with your different marines.
Also make units invisible without line of sight. That really makes the game quite freaky!

Would have liked a really challenging few levels. I had all the sewers stoppered with time to spare on the last level without breaking out the extra ammo.

Great game 5/5 but it get's boring on last level watching those electric blue chickens spawn and trying to get me.Also it's kinda easy for last lvl

Really great concept and a nice short game, a few suggestions though:
1. Extend the game and make it a little bit longer
2. Adding a good storyline would help, "why are the aliens comming out of those holes? what's their purpose? are we trying to save humanity (again) or just fighting for survival and escape(again)?
3. Try to add some level editor, I would love to set up a workable ambush type map.

You can't push barrels of the edge of the game, you shoot instead XD
Nice with the level with infinite spawns, i farmed some lvls there ^^

I love this game because I can see the specter of the classic board game Space Hulk behind it. I agree with other comments, that the difficulty curve is steep in the beginning, which I liked, to it tapering off near the end, which I didn't. I liked how customizable the characters were, and how different the guns felt. Even the bayonette worked for me, as it offered a novel way of solving problems that didn't exist in the early mechanics.
Suggestions: Only give two points to upgrade characters every level instead of three. This will force more specific specialization.
Add more creatures that cannot easily be killed by bayonette, or add a spawn point for the range-attack creatures.
I never used the stim pack or the health kit. Make health more precious and reduce movement. You could also give us another item option, like a land mine.
Overall, great game. I hope to see more of it in the future. 5/5

God I hate the first level with the aliens immune to everything buy grenade launchers and explosive barrels. Not having quite enough credits to buy the grenade launcher and without anyway to go back to earlier levels or saved games to make sure I keep enough creds to cover the cost, I am left running around trying to get the big aliens near a barrel. I just wasted 20 minutes doing just that but then accidentally set off a barrel one space too far to kill the final big immune guys and quit since there are no extra barrels. Horrible level design. Please adds at least one or two extra barrels or give us some way to earn extra creds (maybe side missions?). Proper saves would fix the problem as would an undo button. Oh well. Problems like these keep the game from being great and increase the frustration factor for no obvious reason.

I REALLY liked this one. Although it feels like a demo for a larger game, I enjoyed playing the twelve levels. The game became easy pretty fast, especially when assualt rifle with bayonette made ammo shortage almost irrelevant.
Defending behind a corner is EXTREMELY effective as killing with bayonette as a reaction is 100% lethal. I would say that this is one rare game dynamic flaw. This made different roles pretty meaningless and I just made a sniper for the fun of it.
Looking forward to more scenarios and why not random dungeon and treasure hunting. Thumbs up for great effort!

great game but needs several improvements to make it run smother.
1. View objectives in mission
2. Undo Move
3. More guns
4. More levels than lvl 8 max
5. Skip Animation/Enemy Turn
6. Harder levels (more health on enemies?)

haven't played the game yet, but I LOVED incubation. the fact that you say this is inspired by that excites me. let's see how it is!

This is very much like Battle Isle: Incubation. Which was a great game, but this feel as too much of a straight copy.

Okay, a little feedback.
* Setting troops to defend should still make them use up AP, that way if you choose to defend with nearly no AP you will only get one or two shots/melee off in a turn.
* Melee enemies need to be more dangerous, this remake is missing the terror that came with watching your marines get ripped to shreds in a hit or two.
* Defending could target in one direction (even up to 180), so you can't cover everywhere with one guy in the middle of a room. I realise that this will require an extra mechanism to set the facing direction of your marine.
* If you go to the trouble of implementing facing, attacking or getting attacked from behind should be very deadly.
* A skip or speed up enemy turn would be great.
Thank-you for the wonderful nostalgia, as well as the best 3d I have seen in a flash game.

Great game - enjoyed it a lot. The mix of units was very good, as were the stat upgrades. And I think it was about the right length - I would have started to tire a bit if it went on longer.

I've never seen better 3D graphics on a flash player, but I Would not be better if you go to move the screen to the bottom and top. He deserves full 5/5.
