    If you’ve not played Alien: Isolation before, the mobile version is phenomenal. It isn’t just a good value proposition with all DLC included at the low asking price of $14.99 compared to other platforms, but it looks and runs brilliantly even compared to the Xbox and PS4 versions. I know Feral Interactive is capable of miracle mobile conversions, but this Alien: Isolation is on a whole other level. Having tried it on consoles including the new Xbox Series X where it has an FPS Boost through backward compatibility, the iPad version with good headphones and an optional controller trumps all other console versions of the game. If you’ve been wanting to experience Alien: Isolation, this is a fantastic way to do so and one of the best iOS conversions ever.

    Alien: Isolation is still an excellent survival horror on iOS and Android too. This conversion is technically perfect but it requests a smartphone or tablet with high-end hardware and will be a lot better to play using a Bluetooth controller.

    Alien Isolation runs surprisingly well on mobile devices, and is sure to scratch that itch survival horror fans feel.

    Naturally, it still suffers the same flaws in terms of storytelling and pacing as the console originals, but with all three pieces of DLC included the exceptional value for money makes it hard to resist.

    This is all to say that if you want a way to play Alien: Isolation on a phone or tablet, it's hard to imagine a better end product than Feral Interactive's port of the title. I'm just not so sure this was a great kind of game to try and bring to the platform, as almost everything about it runs counter to how many folks (myself included) tend to engage in mobile play.

    A fantastic game that's well deserving of a port, aside from the controls sometimes betraying you. The only concern is that you lose some of the atmosphere on the smaller screen; For those who play mobile first, however, there's almost no reason to not dive in.

The choices on offer are remarkable… you can play with touchscreen controls, or a bluetooth joypad, or a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, or the official Apple keyboard+trackpad. On iPadOS, it has been reformatted to fill the iPad’s 4:3 screen ratio, but you can adjust the field of view. I would have preferred the option to play in 16:9 letterbox though.

    There are 3 graphics settings: “Graphics”, “Performance” and “Battery Saver”. On the iPad Pro 11”, the “Graphics” mode performs extremely well, and looks incredible… unlike any other game I’ve played on iOS/iPad OS.

    The sound is also excellent, although I would have liked support for spatial audio, as this game would really benefit.

    Some concessions to the small screen (this plays on an iPhone too) have been made: the layout of the crafting menu and tool selection screens has been changed, for example.

    Overall, the port is faultless; on the iPad. it plays just like the game you’ve probably already played on PC or console, but further refined.

    For your £12.99 you get the full 20-30 hour game, plus all the DLC. There are no micro transactions, loot boxes, NFTs or other cynical wallet-drainers. In my opinion, this game is the best canonical sequel to Ridley Scott’s “Alien” and, on iOS/iPadOS, a stunning example
    of what mobile games could/should be
    if publishers weren’t so greedy.    … Expand
