User Reviews for Alien: Blackout

Great Game with Great Atmosphere

This game was a lot of fun to play. The game really captures the atmosphere of the franchise. The animations were really great, and it definitely is scary. I never got on board with this style of game, but the Alien theme really works here. There are 7 levels to play through, which seems a little short. However the somewhat randomness of the game adds a good amount of replay ability. I was never lucky (unlucky?) enough to have one of the characters die onscreen, so I can’t vouch for the visuals there, but the game is fun. There was a neat “plot twist” that occurs in one of the last few levels of the game, but it is completely abandoned in the next level. There is no mention of it. Like it never happened. That left me a bit confused, and the story a little bit disjointed. However, I only had 1 crew member left. Perhaps I needed more alive for them to discuss it? (Didn’t feel that way) Overall, in reality $5 isn’t that much for the amount of work that went into the game. It truly is an excellent game. The developer should be proud. The sound design is excellent. I would recommend it to any fan of the franchise.

Better than my first pessimistic expectations

The game is actually pretty tight. Creepy and tense atmosphere, decent simple controls, and a cool story. At first I thought that they were going to go down the usual mobile game Freemium route but the flat 5.00 dollar price is a welcome relief. There’s one big problem that I noticed while playing that allows the gameplay to become an almost trivial affair though. The alien AI is surprisingly easy to cheese with the doors. If you can cut it off at a door and reopen it when it wanders off to find an alternate route then it will try to go to the door again. You can catch it in a loop by constantly opening and closing the same door and effectively contain it to a single room with a motion tracker most of the time with this method. This makes surviving the game with all survivors relatively easy and can kill the mood dramatically. But still, very cool concept game with some Five Nights at Freddy’s style gameplay and good graphics and atmosphere. Not perfect but a solid alien experience especially for a mobile game.

Alien blackout

The game is beautiful the graphics look amazing they are like Alien isolation sound is beautiful the game gives me those alien isolation vibes and that’s good for a 4.99$ game but if it’s not going to get modes or anything new to the game to keep you playing it more more it won’t be worth it but in the end it’s an amazing game great job you guys can’t wait to see what’s next for the alien games and hope to see something like this again but a horror shooter that would be awesome. I have some ideas you guys can add to the game to bring more attention to the game add an extreme mode where there are more aliens to watch out for. A mode to play as Ripley moving around the ship trying to get the new playable areas to help other survivors out like isolation but with no weapons only your light.The game to me is a 9/10 it has potential with the sound voice acting atmosphere but the game needs more content to get me into the game more and add a little blood to it. I still will be playing the game since it’s fun as hell Thanks you for taking the time to read my review about my experience with the game hope you guys enjoy the game as I did.

Freaking great!

So I’m a huge Alien fan, I’ve driven 2 and a half hours to see the original movie playing in theaters on a Wednesday work night when I had work at 6am the next day. So you can imagine my disappointment when the next Alien game to come out after Alien Isolation was a mobile game (especially after the Diablo immortal backlash). I couldn’t be happier with this game. Imagine 5 nights at Freddy’s, but it feels so much more organic than that. It doesn’t feel reactionary, and you can be more proactive in this. The music is great, and they have Amanda’s voice actor back to reprise her role. The music is spot on as well, and I felt a genuine sense of tension and dread as I watched my crew slowly walk down the hall as the creature suddenly blipped out of existence from the hall right next to the one he was walking down. It’s 5 bucks, and for a mobile game I’m incredibly satisfied.

Solid Alien Game: “Game on, man!”

Tense, atmospheric and anxiety inducing (in a good way). And the sound design is top-notch. I just think the graphics could be tweaked to look better on my iPad Pro 10.5 and improve the animations. Their mouths don’t move when they talk, and also when they move they look kind of stiff, which can result in some cheap deaths, imo. And I agree with that other reviewer: can we see some cool death scenes like it shows in the previews? An Alien game should have blood/gore along with the claustrophobic tension!Other than some graphical/animation issues I love it. I’m on chapter 5 and it really feels like I’m inside the Alien universe.Update: to some complaining about difficulty, I just completed all 7 chapters with all crew alive...it just takes strategy, planning, and yes, some luck...but it can be done. The game keeps you on your toes and it’s your job to react accordingly.

BEST GAME EVER

I just have to say I love this game. I love the good graphics and the increasing difficulty as you go on. But I have noticed that their mouths don’t move when the talk so they look a little stiff. Well I am a huge alien fan and so far, your game is the best xenomorph game in the App Store. I highly suggest you make more alien games. Oh and one question did the people who made alien isolation work with you because this game is good. Thank you for making this awesome game. It would be cool if there was like a mode where youWere a alien queen and you had to guide the xenomorph to kill the crew. Also maybe add some kill animations because I saw the alien kill some one and they just disappear. Other wise this is a great game! Keep up the good work guys and hope you make more alien games! A good idea might be an among us like game but with alien. As a true alien fan I support this game 100%. Good job guys. Thanks for reading this.

One of the first full games I’ve found

As the title says, this is one of the games on mobile that resembles games on PC and Gaming Consoles. That alone is enough to make it a worthwhile purchase, especially for 99 cents. It resembles FNAF, in terms of survival from a over arching enemy, and tracking it through cameras, but this game adds to it by letting you control other doors in the area and forcing you to lead a group to safety. I’m not easily scared by horror like in this game, but I still enjoyed the game. That being said, I would personally like one thing fixed, and maybe a few things added. The thing I would want fixed is touch registration. I sometimes try to close doors next to a motion detection area, and a lot of the time it toggles the motion detection instead of the door. It’s still %100 playable but that bug can be frustrating. I would also like to see more levels or a level editor possibly, and I would understand them being added as DLC or the price of the base product’s price being increased. Again the two additions I suggested aren’t important, but I would want to see the bug fixed.

I love it!

I was skeptical to say the least when I saw that there was an Alien Isolation spin-off coming to Mobile. After all, it is probably one of my favorite games of all time, and mobile has a tendency to ruin good IPs... But I am pleasantly surprised to see that the mobile game subverted my low expectations by capturing the same atmosphere and tension as the console game. They definitely got a few scares out of me which I didn’t expect from a mobile game, and overall I just find it to be a surprisingly fitting addition to the universe. I would happily buy a sequel of this mobile game as well. Overall I just find the game to be unique, graphically satisfying, and fun. Managing your fear and uncertainty with limited resources is such a satisfying treat, especially when you implement a plan and it is successful. They manage to keep the difficulty of the original game and capture that whole “oh... she got me again. Not this time Alien!” feeling I got from the first game. Really really have to applaud you dev team for the work you put into this game. It is clearly a labor of love and well worth the asking price in my opinion.

Intense, challenging, way too short.

Beautiful game. Suspenseful atmosphere. I loved it, it certainly fear and anxiety inducing. Audio and sound effects are spot on and play a huge role in Ripley and other crew member’s survival. With that being said, the current price is $4.99 with 7 or so missions. The game feels way to short for that price. I finished the game in a couple hours with all party members surviving. I don’t feel an urge to replay the game in its current state. The hide skill is overpowered. You can essentially hide all but one team member to complete the map objectives. Perhaps limit the hide skill to a limited number of seconds at a time vs infinite hiding. Or maybe the Alien can’t be fooled twice by a hiding crew member within a certain range. Forcing Ripley to retreat to another hiding spot would add another layer of angst. I love the Alien franchise and horror survivor genres, but I’ve gotten much longer gameplay from free or $0.99 games. This game has great potential.

Holy Martians...(get it? I thought it was funny)

At first, I thought five bucks was a bit steep, but after the reviews and alien as a whole I said, “why not?”. This game is stunning! I have yet to see an app game like this be compatible and be way worth the money. I am a little disappointed with how much is IN the game however, but what’s there is golden👌! One thing I do wish there was is extra story, like them having to go to the planet the Zenemorph came from. Or maybe this being a more open game like isolation. But the gameplay and the story there is still 👌. The system for Amanda is really silly however, in my opinion. Only because you can’t see the alien until it’s at the door, or the door just doesn’t close at all. You should still be able to see it in the vents closest to Ripley so you know where it’s kinda coming from. This game is difficult and I like that. It makes you have to make dangerous decisions to ultimately save the crew.Things I see:Beautiful graphicsStellar levelsHard to dodge AIGood basic storyThings that should change (in my opinion again)More story or some DLCLonger main game (I would not mind another game 😏)More trackers in vents or vent camsThis is a really fun game that I will never forget, regardless of how short, I have had plenty of close calls. Hope to see this company come out with another alien game, much like this one with some of the changes. Hope to hear more soon!
