Based on the classic sci-fi franchise, this action-survival game casts players as Ripley, the sole survivor of a spaceship crash on the isolated prison planet Fiorina 161. After discovering that the deadly Xenomorphs have also arrived and captured the prison's population, players must navigate the hostile environment to rescue the prisoners and stop the alien threat. Armed with an arsenal of weapons, players must use their wits to survive the onslaught and destroy the nesting Xenomorphs before a corporate rescue ship arrives.

The Alien Horror Lives
You are Ripley, a C-3 grade lieutenant for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. After barely surviving an encounter with the Alien Xenomorph life forms, you were returning to Earth in hypersleep aboard your ship, the Sulaco.
The Sulaco malfunctioned, jettisoning the emergency escape vehicle with the crew's cryotubes towards Fiorina "Fury" 161, a nearly abandoned maximum security work prison deep in space. You awoke to find yourself stranded on this isolated planet, the only survivor of the crash.
The only human survivor, that is.
Because the Aliens you thought you'd left behind, the living nightmares you'd hoped, you'd prayed, you'd never see again are with you. And the horror you thought was over is beginning anew.
The Threat on Fury 161
Somewhere in Fury 161, a Queen Alien is spawning dozens, if not hundreds, of offspring that feed on flesh. The Alien egg pods are everywhere, but that's only the start of your problems.
The Aliens multiply by invading human bodies and growing inside them, and they've kidnapped the entire population of Fury 161! You've lived through this once before.
Somehow, you survived. Now, you must face the Aliens again, and stop them once and for all! Armed with your weapons and your wits, you are on a mission of survival.

Enemies & Characters
FACE-HUGGERS
The first stage of Aliens that hatch from egg pods and scurry on long, spider-like legs. Their function is to implant an alien parasite inside a host, and they can cause suffocation damage if they attach to your head.
CHEST BURSTERS
Snake-like parasites that break free through a host's chest. They are fast and aggressive, rearing up to strike at targets or spitting acid at them.
ALIEN BAMBIS
Larger, gangly, and off-balance developing aliens that hug the ground like stalking cats. They are extremely dangerous and make a hissing sound when they are about to spit.
DEVELOPING ALIENS
Very deliberate hunters that represent a more advanced and deadly stalking phase. They stick low to the ground and can pounce in an instant.
FULLY DEVELOPED ALIENS
The mature stage of the alien that can attach to walls and ceilings, allowing them to attack from any angle.
ALIEN QUEEN
The nesting source of the alien eggs located in the lead mold of the central power generator. She must be exterminated by being stunned and then crushed in pistons or buried in molten lead to prevent the aliens from multiplying.

Tips & Maps
AIR DUCTS
Air ducts are good ways to avoid places where there is a heavy population of aliens, but remember that they may be used by aliens too, and that they are cramped places where you won't be able to jump or duck.
