Aliens Dark Descent is a real-time tactical squad game set in the Alien universe, sending a team of colonial marines against relentless Xenomorph swarms on an overrun planet. Players manage squad positioning, morale, and resources while trying to keep everyone alive.

The tension comes from limited firepower against an enemy that can overwhelm quickly, pushing careful retreats and tactical choices over brute force. It suits fans of tactical squad games looking for a fresh, dread-filled take on the Alien setting.
