Alien Shooter 2 is a large-scale sequel alright. More levels, most of them - quite lengthy. To the point where you need to drive armed vehicles to get through all the wilderness, filled with the hordes (hundreds, thousands) of alien invaders, with the goal of saving the world (and the girl) in the end. Tough enemies, many different weapons to annihilate them, various sequences and aRPG levelling, and even some story with two different endings! Well, maybe Alien Shooter 2 not the very best of the all isometric shooter genre... But it's a quite good approach to that.

Anyway, to put it short, you gotta fill some aliens with the lead, covering all the floors on your way with the blood. That simple, that hard. Worth 6.9/10 mark in my list. With a discount - very good pick, for a steam releasing shooting time so many of us need after some hard day at the office.

I think Sigma developer team had invented recycling old game material and call it a sequel with almost no new feature before call of duty man,truly ahead of its time.

Comparing with Alien shooter 1 - Alien shooter 2 is a step forward in all directions:

+Better graphics: probably different engine, but the graphics looks better + the game itself, color palette and surroundings are more dark and grim, creating a great atmosphere.
+New monster pack: reworked monsters, the bigger ones now truly BIG, old monsters reworked and a lot of totally new added.
+Blood and gore: very nice work with body pieces and blood on the ground, especially when you are driving a vehicle and drifting in those blood pools mmmmm ^____^
+Significantly improved RPG part - now you level up your character, spend skill points for spec, you have 8 different special abilities to start with, and each of them can be very useful for a various playthrough. A lot of different weapons for each weapon kind with various stats, inventory to pick up and exchange new guns.
+Sound work - great sound work as usual and now this game is FULLY VOICED, all the NPCs talking with you, all the mission briefings voiced.
Some other gameplay improvements like you go slower when you go backward and your spine doesn't twist 360* now. You have vehicles to drive and shoot. Secrets now are hidden way better, not only wall cracks, but secret doors etc. Really hard to find them, I think I have to try that secret search perk instead of vampirism.
Good thing I also haven't faced any problems with modern PC compatibility, except fps drops sometimes.

Overall this game is great action RPG, providing multiple hours of fun and it has great replayability.

Update: It's worth mentioning that this game no longer works for me. This might be a Windows 10 issue. I don't know, but be careful. c:

How come no one told me this game existed?

Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded is a masterfully crafted horde-style action game with RPG elements (what a mouthful) that's all about running backwards and shooting. Shooting what, you totally didn't ask because it's in the title? Eeeeeveeeerythiiiiiiiing.

Horde games usually struggle with enemy balance and keeping those enemies interesting. And RPG games usually struggle with balancing an effort-to-reward ratio that makes players feel accomplished and powerful without stressing them out too much or taking too much time.

But Running Backwards and Shooting: The Game nails everything.

The enemy design is stellar. Enemies are slow-moving, come in droves, can attack the player from multiple directions, and are NEVER bullet sponges! The more powerful enemies are even slower, and many of them have ranged attacks that are telegraphed nicely. The game follows (and never breaks) the golden rule of enemy design: The faster the enemy, the weaker it is; the stronger the enemy, the slower it is.

The enemies are varied enough that the player must learn to prioritize and adapt on the fly. There are times when caution is the better part of valor, and other times when the player must be aggressive or they risk being overrun.

The progression system is also just right. Money is limited, and that can make the game stressful at first. The player is never sure if they should buy that shotgun, or that implant, or upgrade their armor, or save it all for that one powerful rocket launcher. But that's what makes it satisfying. Players must plan ahead and be smart about their choices, not just with their money, but also with their stats.

In a perfectly reasonable amount of time, the player is rewarded for their smart build choices and purchases, and a true sense of progression and accomplishment sets in. That's usually right around the time the player discovers that they have enough money to pay for that new assault rifle AND that RPG they've been eyeing, and then they enter the next mission and give the entire map a bloody makeover.

But make no mistake: The game is always ready to throw new enemies -- and tougher combinations of old enemies -- at the player. This game is challenging! But it's never too challenging, and that sort of game balance should be applauded.

Stylistically, the game is cheesy (in a charming sort of way) with a dark atmosphere. Surprisingly, these two things, combined with the overall challenge of the game, come together to create something that's easy to take seriously, but that doesn't take itself seriously, making for a truly fun game that never feels like it's being self-gratifying.

THANK YOU, Sigma Team, for showing us all how it's done!

When I saw this game on Steam, I was wondering if this would be the same Alien Shooter 2 I had downloaded and played for free before or not. I don't know either game well enough to guarantee this, but from what I can tell, there are no differences between the two. From the onset this raises the question of why anyone would care to buy this game on Steam when it's available to download for free, and unless you're a card hunter, there isn't much reason to do so. However, this does offer interested players the opportunity to download and play the game for free, and if they enjoy it they could pay for the game on here to support the developers. As the name suggests though, this is an overhead perspective run and gun game, with aliens being the unwitting foes you'll be shooting up.


• With a variety of starting perks, characters, and some flexibility with how you invest your initial skill points, the game provides options on what you want to focus on. Being a tank with high HP, focusing on mobility and accuracy, or emphasizing your perk's unique attributes.
• You can switch between red or green blood for the aliens (wish there were more colors), and I actually prefer the green as I think it suits them better.
• Though it does make it hard to see (unfortunate), the darkness does help develop an atmosphere of uncertainty and tension.
• With the amount of carnage available in every stage, this definitely satisfies anyone's urge for reckless gunning action.
• Mission objectives and graphic displays do provide some guidance on where to go and what to do.
• Each stage has hidden secrets lurking around, usually with valuable ammo and cash to snag.
• The graphics are simple but effective; the enemies do look appropriately alien.


• Individual enemies seem to be rather dim, as they have difficulty walking around basic obstacles. Plus, the spiky mines damage aliens, which I find strange since it's clearly a weapon of their own devising. Altogether, this suggests the aliens are rather dumb, as their only fighting strategy is to swarm the enemy, while multiples of them get mowed down with no gain.
• Frankly, I think the game would be more enjoyable if the number of enemies was decreased in favor of smarter AI and higher health. Early enemies can be killed with a single shot of your pistol, which makes what should be abominations seem nonthreatening. Their size largely seems irrelevant.
• Since the game emphasizes such abnormally large amounts of enemies, I do wish it was far more generous with the ammo (perhaps weaker ones having infinite). I hate having to keep track of that while blasting away at massive mobs of aliens.
• Until you finish a stage, you have no idea how many secrets or objectives there might be, so you don't know if you're not exploring areas enough or are overdoing it when you walk alongside all the walls.


• It can be difficult, but it's important to conserve ammo and switch between guns according to the situation you're in. Otherwise, you'll waste important ammo needed for more dire scenarios or die by bringing a knife to a gun fight. Starting out, the pistol can dispatch weak foes and save more valuable ammo for other guns, the shotgun has good pushback and can deal with crowds reasonably well, while the machine gun is ideal for massive numbers.
• Finding secrets are very important, as they provide supplies to keep you in good standing for each stage. They can be tedious to look for though, but being meticulous while navigating stages is important enough to make it worthwhile.


This would have to be one of my more ambivalent reviews for a game. Overall, I think there's enough good qualities to recommend playing it, as it's the equivalent of enjoying a mindless action flick. The RPG elements and leveling of your character is a nice touch as well. However, since this seems to be no different from the free version available elsewhere, the only reason to buy it would be for the cards and to support the developer. I encourage anyone to find the free version and give it a try before buying this, but with so many alien mobs to tear through it does well in satisfying that urge for mindless destruction and carnage. It's always satisfying to kill monsters and aliens en masse.

Game of my childhood <3

Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded is amazing. I consider this game a worthy heir to the first. The graphics have noticeably changed for the better; shadows, good lighting, and decent screen resolution were delivered. The plot was expanded and there were unexpected turns in it. There are rehashed monsters and also new ones each with its own unique abilities.

It is a pity that there are few bosses here in this game compared to the first. The sound is great as well. There are various levels to explore. The dialogues are text based, but without variation. Some of them may give an additional quest. Instead of 10 missions, there are now 17 and 2 endings with cutscenes.

In conclusion, the game is simply amazing, maybe it will seem monotonous to you, but at the same time you will necessarily return to it in order to retrace it for different characters with different perks at different difficulties (there are 4 of them here). I advise all fans of shooters and isometric games to buy it, you will definitely not regret it.

Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded

+ (GRAPHICS) The environments are detailed and interactive even with the limited resolution options for the game, and the number of monsters on screen is still impressive.
+ (SOUND) Adding in voice over work with improved music and the solid effects for shells and weapons makes this a better alien shooting experience.
+ Longer missions, side missions and an RPG-lite character system are great. Unfortunately, you're still saddled without co-op and ambushes, along with some older issues.

I enjoyed it, the core shooting feels absolutely great.

Larger and more in-depth than the first remake, Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded packs a nice amount of fun into an incredibly small package.
