Command a group of seasoned Colonial Marines in Aliens: Dark Descent to put an end to a frightening Xenomorph invasion on Planet Lethe. Against classic Xenomorphs, renegade agents of the voracious Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and a variety of terrifying newcomers to the Alien genre, command your forces in real-time warfare.

You are in charge. They serve as your tool.

With your team, sneak across wide-open stages and destroy adversaries while methodically and logically executing commands at the stroke of a button. Because death is final, your enemies will adjust their strategies to your actions as they pursue you. Proceed with caution. Create your own pathways for surviving, finding shortcuts, setting up motion trackers, and safe zones in a persistent environment where your choices affect levels indefinitely.

Make your squad unique by choosing from a variety of classes. For high stakes missions in dangerous terrain, level up and specialize your men with specific skills, an array of weapons, armor, and perks. Expand your base to learn about cutting-edge technology and strengthen your team even more.

To outwit the deadliest beast mankind has ever encountered, prudent resource management and cautious risk-taking are required. Can you and your team halt the epidemic before it spreads too widely?
