Muy bueno para pasar el rato

Alien Breed is an isometric sci-fi shooter where you independently control the direction your character aims and moves. You maneuver through a series of 5 stages in each episode, collecting weapons and items, and shooting aliens as they appear while you move from objective to objective provided on your mini-map.

It is difficult to write a separate review for each Episode, as they all largely play the same - you move from point A to point B to pick up access code C to open door D to get to point E to get access code F to.....you get the picture. Lots of backtracking through same-looking corridors, fighting similar looking enemies which pop out of the floor and walls.

It's fun, but only moderately so - I would NOT recommend playing through a single episode in one sitting, let alone all three episodes. The gameplay is repetitive and it's the sort of thing you'll want to put down for a while between sessions (I'd actually say on the level of months between episodes) so it doesn't get stale.

Ta gueno!

El juego es un shooter top-down bastante decente, sin nada que le aporte mucha personalidad. Su apartado técnico no sobresale pero tampoco molesta. No lo recomiendo debido a su floja historia y al hecho de que, en realidad, no termina sino que conecta directamente con su secuela.

Welcome to this stupid ship where the controls to operate every part of the ship are thirty miles from the thing you're trying to use. Thank you for choosing Intex.

This game, now about 10 years old of the time of this review, still holds up. Good 3D engine (UnReal), good background ambient audio and voice over, and nice level design that adds to the overall tense atmosphere of being aboard a failing ship called the Leopold. It slowly introduces the new alien types and along with hidden logs throughout the levels. You can pick up credits to upgrade gear, purchase items, or save your game at accompanying terminals. Good ARPG with an rotating isometric view which takes a little to get use to but is worth it. Recommended with or without a friend to play with.

Alien Breed: Impact is apparently a remake of a very old Amiga game, which is impressive. It probably takes nothing but a theme from the game, but it's great to see an old game get a remake.

Unfortunately, that's the last time I'll probably use the word great for Alien Breed: Impact, or really anything in this series.

It's not that these are awful games. They are technically good games, and functional. It's just the games themselves do nothing interesting or impressive in the least. The player goes between waypoints, presses A for a few seconds and then goes somewhere else. The whole time alien bugs are trying to kill him. He does this for five levels and there's a boss fight (A boss fight that was easy to not get hit during) and then the game is over.

While the game lasts 5 hours, I don't even know if I was truly interested in a full hour of the gameplay in total. The multiplayer is dead, but if you're not playing with someone I'm not sure if there's much reason to even play this game. The game is just doesn't do anything interesting after a level. You get more weapons but nothing even worth spoiler. They all operate about the same, and none feel that powerful.

The levels mostly start, to go to point A, get blocked, sidetrack to open a door, then go back, then get blocked again and sidetrack again, then come back. It's repetitive, but it's mostly just wave after wave of the same enemy. There are at least 6 or seven enemies in the game, but I really only remember 3 that constantly harass the player, and there's not much to tell there.

Is it a bad game? No, but it's not a good game. I don't know who I'd recommend this game to. Maybe someone who REALLY loves twin-stick shooters wants to shoot a lot of bugs over and over and has a lot of time on their hands. But really, I'm sure there are a few games that do it better than Alien Breed: Impact. Personally, I'd recommend Geometry wars, Everday Shooter, Beat Hazard, or HellDivers.

Note: I got this in a humble bundle I bought to get the Worm games which are also from Team 17, which I enjoy. This was an add-in that I was not planning on buying.

This is one of those games that I want to give a "Meh" or "So-so" review, a more neutral score. For the sake of the fact that I enjoyed it more than I was bored with it I'm giving it a positive review, but for the most part this isn't necessarily reflective of my own opinion of the game. I'm probably going to do an in-depth video review of this in the future, once I acquire the two sequel games.

Pros:

+ A decent twin-stick shooter
+ A budget game, you can get this on a college budget
+ A very smooth game, no bugs encountered beyond the intentional enemies
+ Fairly cool level aesthetics, especially with the final chapter
+ Short n' sweet, you're getting your money's worth.

Cons:

- Game gets repetitive up until the fifth chapter, most of the levels look similar despite each deck having its own "theme" to it
~ Enemy roster's far from perfect (though for a short game it's understandable, kinda)
- Way too much ammo lying around
- Flamethrower was best weapon when at damage upgrade, while ion spike was nowhere near as good (two shots from a default Ionspike could damage the boss, when only three were needed from a fully damage upgraded laser rifle, which is far from nominal)
~ Story was completely meh, though its presentation of comic-like cutscenes was okay-ish. You aren't even given an explanation about why the aliens are there, though I presume this is explained in the later games.

Bonus Points:

+ You explore a space hulk at the end that's a derelict ship built by whatever company designed yours, so awesome. This is why it's getting a thumbs up instead of a thumbs down, because Space Hulks are kind of my fetish fuel
+ Aliens look like giant-sized four-legged ticks, which actually looks really great IMO
+ Flamethrower's the best weapon on the game (PURGE THE XENOS!)
~ Pistol animation makes it look like you're holding a shotgun instead of a deagle, which is amusing
+ Has co-op, so if you have a low-budget friend you can play this with them too (haven't tested it yet)

For what's essentially a revision/remaster of an old title with modern graphics and engine design, Alien Breed: Impact is not that bad, though it isn't perfect either. Fans of the old game might enjoy their time with this, and while fans of the twin-stick genre might find its controls appalling it's alright if you want a cheap 5-hour time waster. However this is one of those games that I know I would have had much more fun with if it was an FPS. If Team17 wanted to remake Alien Breed: 3D I would totally play it.
