If I like StarCraft will I like this game?

[GSPOTxJESUS]

For those that played both

[deepeyes]

Totally different games
If you like aliens franchise, then yes

[drager55891]

Think of the dungeon map of Starcraft and you can only control them as one squad.

[IvantheFormidable]

If you liked the small scale facility maps in BW, or if you liked the hero maps (like the start of HoTS) where you control very few units, but with unique abilities, then I would say probably. But it's not a 1 to 1 comparison.

[ConG]

It's nothing like StarCraft, you might still like it though.

[BlackjackGT]

Maybe if you liked Irrational's Freedom Force (which was squad-based super heroes with pause-n-give-orders RTS play) back in the day, you might like this, imho. :)

[Haggis MechHaggis]

this is more like realtime turn based
not at all like starcraft

people say its more like company of heroes and xcom

[Nuke Knight]

This would be closer Xcom but with out the turns or individuals running around as the squad sticks together. You can adjust it to pause when using abilitys instead of slow mow.

Starcraft is really an online game were people play against each other in a high paced chess match. Aside from some visual similarity between the two, I'd say the big issue what do you like? do you like Aliens films and games? are you into psychological thrillers? If so try it out!

Why are you pick the mode that blizzard say 20% of the player base plays to explain what starcraft it?

[Proxy]

no b/c you dont have as much control over your units as you wished.
If you ever played Dawn of War 2, Halo Wars, or Company of Heroes. This game plays like that.

[Nightbringer]

Those two games have nothing in common. The closest you could drag comparison are those 1 man type missions from Starcraft where you need to avoid enemies and be smart at how you handle enemies in a campaign.

[Mr. Reaper]

I can't agree more! Before playing Aliens Dark Descent it's advisable to watch a couple Videos of the Gameplay.

[CthuluIsSpy]

It is not at all like Starcraft. It isn't even like Xcom, the new ones nor the old ones. The only part of it that's similar to FiraXCOM is the squad loadout screen.
It's a lot closer to the UFO : Afterblank series, except with more of a focus on stealth, way more linear and you don't control individual soldiers.

[Newb Always Ask]

May I ask if any similar games like this?
For example versus zombie?

[Nightbringer]

I honestly do not know anything similar. At least anything which would be a full, proper game.

Highfleet is the closest game to this game that I can think of. Genres are completely different, but gameplay idea is the same: avoid the enemy. You can always fight, but you should avoid fighting with the main force at all times.
