Alien Assault is an exhilarating turn-based strategy game where you command squads of space marines against a deadly alien race. Played from an overhead view, the game’s intense battles unfold within spacecraft and tight corridors, perfect for the aliens' lethal hand-to-hand combat. However, the disciplined and sacrificial nature of your marines can turn the tide in your favor. Each unit type offers unique strengths and weaknesses, from flamethrower-wielding marines ideal for clearing rooms to power hammer units that can hold narrow hallways. With five campaigns and dozens of missions, Alien Assault offers endless strategic depth. Inspired by the classic board game Space Hulk, it delivers an almost-perfect experience for strategy enthusiasts. Customize your gameplay with extensive configuration options and dive into one of the best turn-based strategy games available.
I appreciate the effort in storyline and game art but felt let down by the gameplay length. It’s entertaining, but I wish it had more depth to it. Definitely could be improved!
