The briefing

About this game

A scientific outpost on a distant planet has been overrun by unknown attackers. After a disastrous approach, rookies Nash and Jordan crash-land and must fight through the alien force.

Played from a top-down perspective, Alien Breed: Tower Assault combines shooting with exploration across indoor and outdoor environments. Players collect keys, ammunition, and credits, log into computers to purchase new weapons, and use the new retreat mode to fire while moving backward.

The campaign is largely non-linear, with many levels offering multiple exits and different routes through the game. After activating a self-destruct mechanism, players must escape the building before it is destroyed.
