Squads are blasting through xenomorph hordes in breathless co-op sessions, driving a post-release approval rate of 64% out of 415 sampled reviews. While historical Steam scores limp at 51% positive across 805 total evaluations, the heat of battle keeps trigger fingers busy.
What it's about: Ce n’est pas une mission de sauvetage, mais une lutte pour la survie. Les Xénomorphes rôdent dans les couloirs, tendent des embuscades dans l’ombre et déferlent en nombre pour vous écraser. La mort vous attend dans chaque salle.
