    Alien Breed: Impact is an nice action-packed Arcade game. 15 Euros is more than "ok" for eight to nine hours exciting gameplay.

    The brisk single-player campaign is reason enough to overlook the boring cooperative multiplayer. Unfortunately, the lack of blood, same-looking environments, and cheap-looking comic strips let it down.

    Alien Breed is a nice looking top-down shooter. It's a really good old-school game, it wouldn't bother you with long briefings or lots of text, everything you need to do is just shoot in well designed monsters, open doors and sometimes try to found special keys or any other ways how to get to the next point. Several times Team 17 offers player different game-play thing like to run from a giant alien or to kill a boss. You will go throw different kinds of levels, and will be a little disappointed in the end. Good entertainment for a couple of evenings.… Expand

    This is an overhead, 3rd person shooter, much like Alien Swarm. You spend a lot of time running from Point A to Point B and back again, meanwhile killing aliens and picking up ammo, credits (currency), logs, and searching dead bodies for useful stuff. The upgrades are nowhere near op, the graphics are meh, the plot is kind of awkward, and default moving speed is "walk" (you have to hold a button down constantly to run and not all places will allow you to run). Despite that, they do throw in different timed missions and a couple of small puzzles to keep it interesting. Elite mode is pretty easy, so easy mode would probably be perfect for a kid. An excellent time-suck kind of game. I paid about $5 for it during a steam sale, so for the price, it's better than most.… Expand

    Alien Breed: Impact is a horrible rip-off from similar games. It is highly predictable, has a weird (and bad) camera- and control scheme and insists on constantly delivering the players headaches and seizures by translating every explosion in the game to a shaking camera. The aliens and environments are boring, drab and the shooting isn't particularly engaging. Like reviewer pfftwhatev mentioned, at some stage the game insists on turning your camera in a direction that makes it very hard to defeat the end-boss. Well, I assume you have to defeat him: I kept dying and ditched the game aside here as well. I also tried co-operative mode with a friend and we were wholly unimpressed. The frustrating controls, repetitive and predictable shootfests couldn't hold my fancy even though I'm usually quite font of these top-down shooters. That being said; Try out Alien Swarm or buy Shadowgrounds instead if you feel a need to kill aliens from a top-down perspective.… Expand
