Aliens Thanatos Encounter is a top-down action game that takes its main inspiration from the second film in the Alien franchise. A platoon of Colonial Marines, en route to Earth from a training mission, are awakened from hypersleep by a distress signal from the space freighter Thanatos . They find themselves inside a nightmare: a massive infestation of xenomorphs. The mission is clear: clear the ship of hostiles and rescue any survivors.

The game features five different characters, all rated differently in speed and stamina. Should a marine be drained of health, he or she is not killed, but captured. Another character can attempt a rescue and is given 200 seconds to find the captured soldier. If the soldier is not found within that time span, that character is removed from the roster for the rest of the game.

The marines can draw on a variety of guns, most of them featured prominently in the movie. The motion tracker radar displays both human survivors as well as hostile aliens, but requires a free hand to use. Another item from the movie is the power loader, which slows down the marine but increases their health at the same time.

The enemies include the entirety of the alien life cycle, from facehuggers to chestbursters, adult alien warriors, and a queen. As the game progresses, they gain the ability to spit acid. Lost health can be regained by collecting and using first aid kits. Game progress is saved through the use of passwords.
