Developed by WayForward Technologies and published by Sega, it's a 2D action-platformer with non-linear exploration structure, where a squad of colonial marines arrives aboard the USS Sephora at the USS Sulaco — the ship from the original film, found adrift — and must fight their way through xenomorph-infested corridors. Its detailed pixel art and constant tension set it apart from other tie-ins carrying the license. It's one of the best Alien-branded games of its generation, further proof of WayForward's talent for 2D action; it remains a solid recommendation for anyone looking for a horror metroidvania on DS.
