About this game

Alien Breed is a top-down science fiction shooter inspired by the atmosphere of Alien and gameplay elements associated with Gauntlet. Set aboard the space station ISRC-4, it follows space marines Johnson and Stone as they attempt to clear the base after an alien invasion.

Players navigate an alien-infested complex while managing energy and limited ammunition. Aliens can respawn from floors and walls, making resource conservation important. Keys found throughout the levels open locked doors, but using them carelessly can prevent access to rooms containing essential keys. Some doors are one-way and electrocute anyone attempting to pass through from the wrong direction.
