In Aliens: Dark Descent, you command a squad of hardened Colonial Marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on the moon Lethe. Guide your soldiers in real-time combat against iconic Xenomorphs, rogue operatives from the insatiable Weyland-Yutani Corporation, as well as a host of horrifying creatures new to the Alien series.

Enter large open levels and annihilate your enemies with your squad, strategically and intuitively issuing commands at the touch of a button. Be cautious, as your enemies will adapt their tactics to your actions while they hunt you, as death is permanent.

Create unique survival paths, discovering shortcuts, creating safe zones, and setting up motion trackers in a persistent world where your actions affect levels forever.

Customize your squad with a selection of different classes. Evolve and specialize your soldiers with unique abilities and an arsenal of weapons, armor, and perks, for high-stakes missions in dangerous territory. Develop your base to research new tech and further improve your team.

Manage your resources wisely and take calculated risks to outsmart the deadliest creature humanity has ever faced. Can you and your team stop the outbreak before it's too late?
