But the grenade launcher just doesn’t “boom” like a grenade launcher should. Spent shells tinkle to the ground, which is nice. The music is generic as are the sound effects. Everyone else talks like a tough guy or a tough girl and really the speech itself is nothing special. For example, in the beginning of the campaign, you rescue a nerd, I mean a “technology expert” whose voice and dialogue reminds me of the acting found in children’s programming. Sigma Team also promises multiplayer support and an online ranking system for dedicated hackers n’ slashers. It gets pretty old after the fourth or fifth run though but still is a good introduction to the game. Either in Career or Stand Firm mode, hordes of enemies come at you with no respite. However, the true measure of a good alien-killing mercenary is his/her ability to lean on that left mouse button.Īfter the campaign is the survival mode, which is exactly as it sounds. Most are straightforward and have some impact on the game. One of the nicer elements of the game is the ability to choose abilities at the beginning of character creation. Allies are tricky to keep alive except at the easiest difficulty levels. until your health takes a nose dive and you realize how helpless you really are.
There will be times when you think you have things under control. You will usually find yourself in the middle of a horde of aliens not knowing what to shoot first. The campaign is lengthy and difficult at times. Who needs intelligence? Just point and shoot Starship Troopers, Aliens, the attack on Zion from The Matrix Revolutions… enough pop culture references for you? Buy the radar early on to get that true sci-fi, aliens-are-coming-to-get-me feel. Implants, drones and dynamite are all useful things to have. Beyond that, you get to outfit your character with a number of gadgets and powerful weapons through a money system. And if an “RPG element” is where you get to make decisions on what attributes to upgrade and when, then yeah, ASV has them. “You suck at this game!” Also, ASV touts an RPG element not unlike Fallout. All that is missing is General Ahkboob taunting me. When playing ASV, I couldn’t help but be reminded of an arcade game called Total Carnage that ate tons of my quarters back in the day. In fact, let’s get the game comparisons out of the way. ASV puts us in the familiar third-person, top down view of Diablo. Alien Shooter: Vengeance is an update of the old Alien Shooter, better graphics, better game engine, better story, more guts. The title of this game could not be more accurate. How will humanity respond? Why, with lots of testosterone, guns and explosives of course! Life as we know it hangs in the balance, we think. So, hordes of aliens have taken over a research facility.
