Focus Entertainment and Tindalos Interactive have dropped a new gameplay overview trailer for Aliens: Dark Descent, highlighting the horror elements, as well as the strategic gameplay elements required to survive.
According to Focus Entertainment, the gameplay for Aliens: Dark Descent “features a fully fledged tactical campaign filled with tense moments, deep strategy, and terrifying revelations.” Your squad reacts intelligently to orders, thanks to a unique Squad Behavior System that dispatches them automatically on the field. When the Xenomorph threat gets overwhelming, you can slow down time at any moment to focus on tactical decisions in the heat of battle.
Every run is unique as the Xenomorphs adapt to player behavior and action. Each choice remains unaltered as players explore extensive, open and persistent levels. As mentioned in prior updates, managing the squad’s health and stress levels is equally as important as clearing objectives. And remember, when a Marine dies, they are gone for good.
As you might expect, Dark Descent leans towards James Cameron‘s classic Aliens. Tindalos worked extensively to establish “a tense and foreboding atmosphere” with Planet Lethe, complete with dim corridors, flickering fluorescent lights, and the constant threat of a Xenomorph attack.
Aliens: Dark Descent is set to arrive on June 20 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Pre-orders are now live.
