Alien Shooter Review

The storyline of this game is very basic; the game player enters a laboratory below a military complex. Where a disastrous event leaves monstrous green aliens roaming around the complex. The mission of the game player is to infiltrate the complex that houses the laboratory, find out what is going on and keep yourself alive by killing aliens that attack you. As well as earning points, you also earn money, which you can use to buy high tech weapons to fight the aliens as you make your way through the laboratory.

There is only one character that is available to you on the demo mode, and that is a male character whose picture and stats comes on the screen as you choose your options for game play, which is either a campaign game or a survival game. The campaign mode follows the main storyline of the game, where as the survival mode is very much about killing as many aliens as you can as they surround you to begin their attack. In the full mode, there is the option of two possible characters, a man or a woman, but overall the designs and graphics of these characters not to mention the game itself is very poor. The upper body of the characters can only shoot and not do much else while the bottom half of the character reminds me of a revolving door spinning around and around.

There are a few options in regards to the full version of the game, though for the demo there is even less. The demo game gives you about 5-10 minutes of actual game play and then it switch’s to its ’buy the full version now’ screen. In both versions of this game, you have all the usual options of SFX, music and graphic volume control along with a small help section.
The music for me really does not fit the game and sounds like something you could have danced to in the 80’s.

Although I am not a huge fan of shoot em up games, there are quite a few that I find to be a lot of fun and highly challenging. This game was not challenging or fun in any sense of the words, perhaps if the demo had a longer playtime the game may have approved. Moreover, my opinions may have been different. Nevertheless, from what I seen and played I was not impressed at all and could not recommend this as a good or worthwhile game.
