In between missions, you can head back to your home base and it’s here that you can upgrade your marines, research new weapons or equipment and even customize your squad - I've named mine after the players of my favorite soccer team. It’s even managed to keep my heart racing just as much as Alien: Isolation did back in 2015, which is a pretty big achievement.
And it means that even when your squad survives a clash with the hive, visible mental scars remain and these could foil your chances of succeeding next time.Īdmittedly, I’ve only had the chance to play Aliens: Dark Descent for a few hours so far, but I’ve been plenty impressed with how the game has managed to marry together the survival horror and strategy genres into something fairly unique. It’s a great way to add further tension to enemy encounters. Becoming overly stressed will cause them to take on negative perks like being more prone to missing shots or even ignoring your commands.
