In Aliens: Dark Descent, you command a team of expert Colonial Marines to stop an insurgency of terrifying Xenomorphs on the moon of Lethe. Lead your soldiers in real-time combat against iconic Xenomorphs, rogue agents of the voracious Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and other horrific creatures never before seen in the Alien franchise.

You are in charge. They are your weapons.

Infiltrate large open levels and annihilate your enemies with your team, strategically issuing orders and using your intuition. All with the touch of buttons. Proceed with caution: your enemies will adapt their tactics to your actions as they hunt you down. Remember: death is final. Create unique paths to survive, discover shortcuts, create safe zones and place motion sensors: in this persistent world, your actions will permanently impact the levels.

Customize your squad with a selection of different classes. Level up your soldiers and specialize them with unique abilities and a vast arsenal of weapons, armor, and perks to take on challenging missions in dangerous territories. Develop your base to research new technologies and further improve your squad.

Manage resources and calculate risks to outsmart the deadliest creatures the human race has ever faced. Can you and your team stop the insurgency before it's too late?
