  • Summary: With the Leopold and its unwanted attachment breaching the surface of an imposing ice planet, you have only a few hours to wade your way through flooded corridors and locate the origin of the threat that has so far laid waste to your once proud space ship. For the first time Conrad can venture outside of the ship in the breathtaking hull walk set pieces, and for those trigger-happy shooter fans there are vicious new enemies to fight, including the Electro-Shocker alien and the awe-inspiring final bosses. New armaments are also available in Descent, with the Electro-Link gun allowing for shockingly good crowd control whilst the formidable Project X weapon will tear through anything in its path.

    A good end to the trilogy that unfortunately lacks big changes to the first two parts. Alien Breed 3: Descent shows off with polished graphics but offers only a very shortlived experience.

    As for the previous releases, the third chapter in the series seems just one part of a biggest game, split to be sold three times: Descent It's very close to the other episodes and thanks to a good level design It's possible the best one. That said there are a several better top-down shooters and one of them, Alien Swarm, It's free too.

    It's not what we could've called 'new' or 'original', but Alien Breed 3: Descent is a fair an interesting game. 'Tis a pitty that the grand finale wasn't as incredible as expected but, no matter what, is fun and it's worth the money it costs.

    Wedged between survival horror and arcade shooter - but succeeding at neither - Descent is a poorly designed, camera-hampered end to an already weak trilogy.

  1. I havn't really tried the other two alien breed games, I just went ahead and bought the third (all 3 of them was on sale for 1.99 on steam, but I only had 2$ in my steam wallet). I'm not into arcade shooters, such as this, but overall it was challeging, abit scary, the designs were well made, and the story well.... it just wanted me to beat the game faster. The multi-player side of it is dead i'm not sure if people still play this game or i'm just not finding for open room or waiting for people to join. I just grabed a friend so that I can see whats its like. It's pretty basic, good for wasting time. 2$ is a fair deal, but 10$ (original price) in my case would make you regret it. Expand
  2. This is not a spectacular game by any means but it is still worth playing if you have some extra time and money. The game does a good job at creating intense moments of action and suspense but beyond that it is simply an average shooter. Expand
  3. Y ya que me había tragado los primeros 2, no perdía nada probando este. Resulta que si perdí algo: tiempo. El juego es todavía mas de lo mismo, pero (mal) modificado nuevamente. Expand
