While the Aliens series of games have primarily been in the FPS or Action genres, a team of developers is currently working on a tactical RTS.
The Aliens series is an iconic name in the movie world. After the success of the movies, the Sci-Fi universe captivated the imagination of millions of people. This led to success in other mediums like comic books and graphic novels. During the 90s, arcade games where you got the opportunity to gun down xenomorphs also started popping up. But it was Aliens vs. Predator that cemented that success. For its time, it was a unique FPS game, putting you in control of three different species, all vying for dominance.
But in more recent times, there have also been some flops, which culminated with the mess that was Colonial Marines. But it looks like the developers over at Tindalos Interactive are taking a chance in making an RTS game set in the Aliens universe. The game titled Aliens: Dark Descent will put you in command of a team of space marines as they deal with xenomorph infestations. Each of your squadmates will be fully customizable, allowing you to equip them with various weapons and upgrades. Excellent positioning will be critical, and to help you out, you can slow time to assign accurate orders.
Aliens: Dark Descent will be coming out on June 20, 2023, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
