So where to begin? First and foremost, there is a lot of content in this game.
Nearly seven years later, on April 17, 2017, Reactive Drop released an extension of that game, Alien Swarm Reactive Drop, which is the subject of today's post. So on July 19, 2010, Alien Swarm, along with the complete code base, was released for free on Steam. The game continued to receive continuous updates until 2010, when Valve hired the original team to create a Source-based, standalone version of the game. On May 28, 2004, Black Cat Games released a total conversion mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 named Alien Swarm. At its core, it's not a complicated game, but it has amazing depth and replayability.īefore I begin, I'd like to take a quick moment to point out this game's history just to point out how long this game, in some form, has been around. The basis of every mission is getting to your objectives and carrying out specific tasks while holding off endless waves of various aliens. Before each mission you choose your class, character, primary and secondary weapons, and offhand item. There are 4 classes: Officer (the heavy hitter who provides team buffs), Special Weapons (the crowd control unit), Tech (the unit responsible for hacking consoles to advance and the only class required to start a game), and Medic (healer). You and up to 7 other players play as space marines attempting to complete a campaign of at least 5 individual missions.
Simply put, Alien Swarm Reactive Drop is a top-down tactical action game. Variety, Customization, and Replayability Importance of Teamwork and Decision-Making
If you haven't heard of this game, I would recommend watching this short trailer before continuing for some visual context.Ī Challenging Game (Suited to Your Tastes) The purpose of this post is to give credit where I feel credit is due, and hopefully convince a few people to try out this game and share in the fun with me. Tl dr: Alien Swarm Reactive Drop is a completely free game with a lot of content and depth, and there's absolutely no reason for you not to try it if you haven't already.
