About this game

Alien Trilogy is an action shooter set across locations tied to the Alien films, including the colony of LV-426, an Alien spaceship, and an infested prison colony. Players take the role of a Colonial Marine and face Alien Queens, chestbursters, eggs, and other hazards across more than 30 levels.

The arsenal includes weapons ranging from a Beretta to a steadicam-mounted smart rifle, with familiar film-inspired sounds such as the distinctive pulse rifle jam. Moody music, the hum of a motion tracker, and dark environments reinforce the game’s tense atmosphere.
