I wish there was like a bonus campaign after the story is complete. I think you should be the aliens in the bonus campaign.(comment) I love the originality of this game! And that your troops are able to fire at the aliens DURING their move. Awesome game bro! Make another!

Great game! Love that it allows different play styles from conservative to bravado! I played the whole campaign very conservatively until the final level when I just said screw it and went charging in guns blazing not worrying about making it or not and I actually won!... but I lost two marines. No matter. This game makes stories. Its great! Please keep up the great work and make a sequel.

More more more please! Very creative and well built game. From the story to the diff action that comes from playing any mission over to everything in between. When I am on the edge of my seat wondering will I win this time as I am being overrun by aliens. Superb! Bravo!

Great game 5/5 i've played similar games in the past but this is rich in details and lovely graphics plus the weapons and upgrades are lovely. 10/5 :D

Great gameplay, the flexibility allowed in picking your strategy is just fantastic and really gives it the feel of one of those sci-fi horror movies when you get to the point where the team's running madly for the elevator, getting in each other's way and the last person is covering for everyone else. But I'm now stuck on level 11 because around the 4th or 5th turn, it glitches out after a lot of alien movement and I'm not able to select troopers to act with. The cursor highlights occupied hexagons but won't select them on clicking.

@hektikbeatz 1. You're the one controlling that 'stupid guy'. Try not to make him run in front of aliens for no reason. 2. An undo option would strip any challenge from this game, and if your strategy works you won't need to undo anything. 3. When you finish/fail a level there's a button that says 'Stuck? Watch a walkthrough!' ... I suggest you click it.

i remember playing this game before. same before as it was then. everything about it is impressive: the X-Com like layout (though that's about where the similarities end), fabulous music, impressive graphics, even the story. the fact that i have a hard time getting into this game and will subsequently never finish anything but the easy badge (maybe the medium eventually) is no reason not to give it the high score it deserves. oh, and love the Aliens vibe too. that certainly helps. ;)

Um, a soldier died and dropped "0 magazines" and then I picked it up and the soldier that picked it up had an extra mag.

There's a glitch, at Round: 23 DMG: 894 killed: 4, in round 11C I couldn't select my characters LT and Taylor. Had to end the turn and die...

This reminds me of playing the x-com games, except the game mechanics rely less on you being lucky and more on strategy and planning. I like the use of the hexagonal board, and that much of the useful equipment is available from the start but you can upgrade it. I also like the action point/movement point system, I experimented with something like this (my results weren't as good). Overall 5/5.

@Fubarman: You can close the vents:) Techie ( Pierce) have magnetic bombs, and without upgrades he have 1, with 2 blast radius, 2 turns, but upgraded he have 2 Bombs, 3 Radius,3 Turns effect. This Magnetic Bombs seals that area, no enemy / marine can move in or out from those hexagons.

@drewg : Are you doing the mission on hard mode? If not, you can't have more than a gold medal... (When pointing a mission, you'll see what's needed for the next medal)

Why does this remind me of Doom (The movie)? Space mission (mars in movie), Aliens (mutants), 6 man squad, and going on search and destroy, and rescue missions. 'Nuff said.

zzx: Wood's (War Cry) and Blake's (Quickness Program) are pretty nice with the 2 turns duration upgrades. Pierce's (Explosive Bomb) is great too and as a bonus removes acid/glue. I started out spending most of my skill points on Blake and global upgrades.

I dunno if anyone else thinks so but i always wanted a co-op mmo game like this. mabye where u buy your guns and ammo before hand in the main lobby and then go and do missions with other guys, having your special class like the scout or medic in this one.

Omg I DID IT. DIAMOND ON STAGE 12 + BADGE! Huddling everyone in the first turn to lure all the small creeps into tight bunches to destroy with flamethrowers/bombs did the trick!

Nice gameplay, wish there were more games like this on Kong.
However, more work is needed on mission plausibility - I mean, c'mon, who puts a control panel for a door in the completely opposite corner of the base?! And then, when you finally do open that door, you close the one next to you which is then again opened from the opposite corner...
I know you want players to split the team, but please work on the mission plot a bit more.

loved the end of the tutorial, after I killed the first alien, you have to leave the ship because there are to many lifeforms. I was like, no way I stay and kill them all. killed 1,2,3,4 and 5 of them. after the last kill my reaction was: I cant take this any longer, time to leave

this is a great game. As a old timer who has gamed for 40 years using the old style board and moving the pieces by hand many games took days even months to complete. I love technology, point and click. I may never have gone to school if this was around then. lol Now I just skip work. Keep up the good work.

combos: lieutnant farro: sentinel+ flamethrower+war cry+nano shield. Acid runner Taylor: sprint upgrades+nano shield. Watchman Pierce: Power lights+quickness. Tips: power lights vs motion? My answer: if you can see it you can shoot it, even if you can detect further away with motion, they might even be detected too far away to reach you. Lieutnant isn't affected by passive bonuses. Only one active nano per trooper. If you want another nano you have to wait for the effect to end. The different cry passives stack on each other and with nano. Pierces bombs are cheaper with AP. but more risky to detonate than flamethrowers. Choose wisely... especially on last boss. If a trooper can't see an alien but only echo let another trooper watch past them light the way. The first trooper can now shoot. AP is always new for each round. No use to save AP for next round.

Here is the specs of the tentacle enemies on the last mission, for those of you having troubles. These are observations from the hard difficulty. A tentacle can attack you during your turn if you try to move a trooper who is currently 2 spaces away from one, but any other action is okay. During the alien turn, the tentacles have longer range, but can only attack BEFORE they change position. The orange 100 HP tentacles have 3 range, the boss tentacle has 5 range. They can't see through walls, so use those 3 little walls in the middle of the map to hide behind after you damage it. If they have 2 troopers within their attack range, they will attack both of them. The boss tentacle makes 7 hexes of acid when it attacks, but only when it attacks on the alien turn. The magnet bomb effect can block the tentacles' line of sight, and it doesn't interfere with Pierce's bomb throwing. Very handy.

I found a bug:on mission 5 I can control Beckett at 1st turn, by clicking his echo, but after that I cant control any troopers and have to restart.Please fix that.P.S. but do not remove Becketts conrol =)

A good combat system, AWESOME music and good replay value even having only a few types of enemies. Campaign on normal is just the right difficulty, but to get the challenges / diamond it gets a little "find the perfect moves", and this combined to the randomness of enemy type in spawns, gets pretty difficult. i also think the acid pools should remain only during the next player turn, it gets frustrating trying to get through a corridor when every turn new explosive / glue aliens pop up. At last, I don't understand the safe area next to an alien movement... I thought the green areas (which the explosive aliens don't have and I also don't know why) were safe, but I once or twice got attacked being in them, so I think this whole thing should me better explained. Overall, 5/5

@Camtuf , rather not, i also finished this badge before finishing the game and i got it (maybe you didnt reset your points ?)
@osrac01 try to change your tactic, dont try to kill everything only the ones that are dangerous to you, i almost always end up with 1-2 clips of ammo in reserve

I like the Ravensvoice solution for the mis-clicking. Also you have to consider the fog of war component. If you're allowed to undo how do you un-see?

granted I am only on my forth level and only has 11 points to spend, i have to say this game is very interesting so far. just based on my observation so far, upgrading global feels more important than upgrading individuals. you will need more ammo and damage to save up those precious AP. Also I spent several rounds trying to complete hard mode on level 2 before reading in the description you need to complete all 12 levels before it unlocks. i suggest adding warning words in the game would be better. wish me luck for the rest of the game!

Possibly one of the best games on Kogregate! Very indepth and strategic. What it lacks is more variety, such as, choosing weapons and armor types before every mission.. lighter equipment means more mp heavier means more damage or AP, savvy? So we can have a team adjusted to our liking.. THIS GAME NEEDS AN EXPANSION! It's too good not to have more features ;)

How about a multiplayer mode, where 5 of us control different characters to defend against the "Xenomorphs" together?

One of my favorite games on Kongregate. I'm sorry there hasn't been a sequel. It's also one of the only games on which I don't mute the music. It's also one of the only games I've got an impossible badge on (partly because I got lucky and the tentacles showed up right in front of my guns).
