Welcome to Intex Systems
The Alien Breed Trilogy reboot (remarkably made by the same company who created the original series on the Amiga) is overall a worthy sci-fi shoot'em up experience with a coating of survival-horror. On the normal ('Veteran') difficulty setting the arcade action isn't mindless and you will occasionally face a challenge but you'll have to play on the 'Elite' setting if you want the general experience to feel like a proper top-down tactical shooter. Over the course of three games - which feel more like episodes - the experience can get a bit too repetitive (gameplay + environments) which is why I'd recommend this mostly to fans of the genre. Presentation-wise: graphics are great, soundscape is very good, and there's a decent story (inspired by classics of the genre). The 'Aliens'-like atmosphere is well done but don't expect fear like in Dead Space: it's more about things getting stressful as you need to quickly shift your position while managing your ammo and cycling through the right weapons in various situations (which can be timed). The ability to not only scavenge for gear but also spend credits at Intex terminals for health kits, ammo and weapons upgrades is a nice feature which encourages exploration and smart thinking. The titular breed of aliens will mostly try to swarm you, but there is the odd boss fight and special gameplay sequence here and there. I'd say the trilogy in general is between good and very good (75%): repetition is the biggest problem, but you still feel compelled to make it all the way to the end - and happily enough, Alien Breed 3: Descent specifically is actually very good (80%) and the best episode of the three. If another desperate fight for survival aboard spaceships where things keep going from bad to worse with plenty of 'system malfunctions' sounds like your idea of a good time, then by all means - take the plunge! P.S. display bug with Nvidia cards affecting map + logs in PDA: set AA mode to "application-controlled" in Control Panel
