Alien Breed: Impact

ok, this is a fairly competent twin stick shooter, your ship collides with a derelict one, you get invaded by insectoid aliens , gotta escape your doomed vessel while mowing down hordes of enemies, fair enough, is not groundbreaking, you got a handful of weapons and a handful of items, the game will take you where you need to go, there are a few optional rooms with resources, and a few secret items to find, you can upgrade weapons and items for more firepower (free tip: don’t upgrade the rate of fire, you’ll just waste your ammo twice as fast) I played in veteran, not really hard, so you can try the hardest difficulty if you want a challenge ( use a gamepad, is more fun than M+KB) However, the game has some serious issues, the most glaring are performance issues, after a 40 minutes session the game starts to stutter with increasing magnitude until if freezes and crashes, tried disabling dynamic shadows and postprocessing , which only delayed the inevitable and made the game lose its atmosphere, so here’s a possible solution that worked for me: enable vsync in you graphics card and in game, the real kicker is setting the affinity of the game to a single core ( I know, the old single core fix works), I played for 3 hours straight until I got my hands on the Ionspike weapon, as soon as I used it the game crashed to desktop, I could go back and replay the last 15 minutes to see if that issue persists, but since it could be related to previous fixes it would mean A. I need to undo the fix and restart the game every so often to avoid stutter, or B. not use the most powerful weapon in the game to avoid a CTD, and honestly, the game is not that good, so I’ll leave it at that, I’m gonna try the sequel, see if they improved things there, thanks for reading.

When I want to play in a freaking maze, I play Pac Man, thank you very much. Imagine all the things you want from an "Aliens" inspired game. Got it? Now, imagine all the opposite of what you wanted! This is this game. Weak guns? Check. Getting lost in a boring complex? Check Brain dead enemies with a cliché look? Check!!! I can't describe how much I hate this game. And I got the whole trilogy, FML.

My rating would probably be closer to 3.5 stars It's repetitive and had LOTS of back tracking, most of the objectives come down to "Activate thing to unlock door to activate thing to unlock door" while shooting alien bugs repeated for 5 levels, which take around 30-40 minutes each, It got pretty boring toward the end and I just turned off the games "Music" and put some metal on and sped through mowing down aliens, made it much more enjoyable, so I'd recommend playing that way.

THE GOOD this game is like isometric dead space when i first played this game i thought Dead space was influenced by this but i checked the release date, dead sapce came out in 2007 and this game in 2010 So its influenced by Dead Space THE BAD it is kinda repetitive.I played this game for 4 days straight but took a break from it at the last boss fight and came back after a month and killed the boss boss fight is super lame FINAL VERDICT if u like dead space , alien vs predator universe , horror survival games n spooky vibes the repetitive nature of the gameplay wont bother U

Same as reviewer danthompsett for the second game. The game does not start and says, "Physx error". This error shows for all Alien Breed games. this was a givaway, but do not buy until it has been fixed
