Alien Breed 3: Descent

The game is not bad, quite short, but that's good because it gets repetitive quickly. The story is not bad. The explosions could have been smaller and the controls more stable. For me, the big minus is the upgrade system. Too small and too expensive. There are only three upgrades for the hero, for each weapon there are also three, but you can only use one and most always for more power. And nothing is saved if you...

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...

First of all, I end up recommending this/these game/games but my overall score regarding this trilogy is barely 6/10 and I'd like to share my view about this. Alien Breed: Impact - The graphic looks neat despite the age, the controls are a little clunky and the explosions shockwave, more than being realistic, just give you nausea after some time. I swear, the camera shakes all the time non-stop. Still, the levels...

Consider this a review of the entire trilogy, the only noticeable differences between the three games are a couple of weapons and a different coloured interface that matches the ambient lighting.

The production values are average for the era,...

A fun game but I digress on one point... they replaced the voice actor from the 1st game in the series. Grrr... Still, yet, it is doable. Graphics are nice and have held up for this type of game. Sound and music are nice as well. I have not completed the game yet but am stuck in some of the more maze like patterns. It is just a matter of time. Recommended!

I just can't give this a recommend. A solid game but ruined by the same tedium of the first two. The back and forth to flip this or that switch and the mediocre combat make me a sad panda. Another time I wish there was a middle of the road vote button but since there is not, the tedious game play makes me give this a thumbs down.
