Alien Breed: Impact

Don't pay full price for this. I got the whole trilogy for free and currently it's on sale for about a dollar, but the normal price of $10 is way too much. It's a pretty basic, generic game where you run around shooting aliens and flipping switches, but I've played other similar low-budget games like Shadowgrounds and this one at least does this basic concept fairly well, enough to where, while I can't recommend buying it, I don't regret spending time playing it and will probably play the other two installments eventually. The aliens are pretty generic brown-colored bugs without much to distinguish them, and pretty much just pop out of the ground to ambush you over and over, but are fast enough and attack in large enough groups to pose a danger. The gameplay is mostly running around a ship which is continually exploding, beep-booping computer screens to try to reactivate ship systems, only to discover that some secondary system that the first system needs is also down and you need to go beep-boop THAT screen first. It gets old quick but the game is only a few levels long and the levels themselves have some cool-looking sci-fi equipment that the creators definitely had fun designing, like the magnetic floor panels that assemble themselves or the part where you have to briefly spacewalk through an exposed and collapsing section of the ship. The story is told through cutscenes with voiced comic-book style panels, which is a nice stylistic touch that helps set the game apart. The weapons are nothing spectacular but satisfying to use, and while sometimes they seem to miss an alien that you're aiming right at, ammo and health are plentiful enough that this doesn't become a problem, while not so plentiful that you can breeze through without paying close attention to them. It's a game that obviously had limitations, but the creators put some work and passion in rather than taking the easiest, laziest path. It's not spectacular or memorable but it's also not a waste.

They neutered this version, from its steam counter part. All the 3 games, have multiplayer, you can tell they removed that, i thought they'd mention they removed it here on GOG but they don't. That said, the game is alot of fun WHEN you have a friend to play with, the problem is this gog release doesn't have that so your better off looking at the STEAM build of this game, since multiplayer is present, and you can actually enjoy it together vs solo.

I've owned this game for a while now but only just finished this. This game is extremely fun without being cheaty or scummy somehow. I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for some simple fun. It's not very long but it's worth buying in my opinion

Nice looking, good controls. very enjoyable and not so hard neither

Overall the game is enjoyable. Lots of looting and shooting, a pretty straightforward plot and a cool sci-fi vibe. Not bad at all. I will, however, mention that there are some bits that don't make much sense, mostly about navigation and the way upgrades work, but these are minor annoyances that don't affect the gameplay too much. In conclusion, I recommend trying this out. Team17 did a decent job with this one.
