Video Game Reviews of Alien Shooter: Vengeance
Customer Review: A fun 3rd person shooter.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a 3rd person shooter with RPG type upgrades.
This game was offered on 'Steam' for under $10.00 so I took a chance and purchased it; a good decision.
There is nothing fancy here, mediocre graphics, OK sound, BUT the game is fun. Basically it's just non-stop alien slaughter that results in blood and body parts everywhere.
The Pros:
1.)What makes the game interesting is the large choice of characters, weapons, skills and upgrades (this also gives the game some replay value).
2.)The game is playable on easy, normal and impossible (but this is changeable anytime in the game, even mid level).
3.)You get to drive a vehicle with a Gatling gun and also a tank; both will give new meaning to the words 'weapons of mass destruction'.
4.)The game was a definite challenge at times; it's basically you alone (with some minor exceptions) against hordes of aliens. Because of this, you do need to consider how you will spend your hard earned XPs (on upgrades and/or skills) and your money (on weapons and/or armor).
The Cons:
1.)You can have up to 5 lives, but there are no game saves; so if you die fairly well along in a level (and in dying, have used up your last life), you'll have to repeat the entire level all over again. Luckily, most of the levels aren't particularly long, however, having said that, there were a couple levels that were a real pain to start over again.
2.)My character got stuck a couple times where I couldn't move and had to restart a level.
Conclusion:
This is your basic run and gun, not-much-thinking-required, shooter; but the various weapons and upgrades made this game great fun to play; plus the price was very reasonable. 5 Stars.
