In Aliens: Dark Descent, command a troop of inveterate Colonial Marines in the fight against a terrifying outbreak of Xenomorphs on the moon Lethe. Guide your soldiers in real-time combat against iconic Xenomorphs, renegade agents of the insatiable Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and a host of horrific creatures new to the Alien franchise.

You are in charge. And they are your weapon.

Infiltrate huge open stages and annihilate enemies with your troops, strategically and intuitively issuing orders at the touch of a button. But tread carefully, as in addition to your opponents being able to adapt their tactics to your actions, death is forever. In a permanent world, where your actions are repeated over and over again in other levels, create unique paths to survival by discovering shortcuts, creating safe areas and installing motion detectors.

Customize your troop, with a variety of different classes. Level up and specialize your soldiers – with unique skills and an arsenal of weapons, armor and perks – for high-stakes missions in treacherous territory. Develop your base by researching new technologies and further improving your troop.

Wisely manage your resources, and take calculated risks to overcome the deadliest and most spiritual creatures mankind could ever have avoided. Will you and your troops be able to stop the outbreak before it's too late?
