Reviews for ALIENS the Board Game

[Gunguy1]

Really good.

It was really hard though. I rated it good because I like a challange anyways. The concept and gameplay is interesting. I managed to pass the first level with some ease, but in the second level, I made the mistake of not sending newt into the small area, and I had to give up ripley because there were about 10 waves of aliens coming from above, and I still lost.

Good:
-nice gameplay
-good concept
-good graphics

Bad:
-add an easier mode
-survival would be nice
-make it so that we can select team-mates to go in any order (during a turn, not at beginning)

I think you have something going here.

I like this game but i found it was kinda dumb that they cant pick up weapons that other marines drop. Like in operatipons i had gorman try to pick up that a other marines pulse rifle but he couldn't?

homedrone responds:

Ya, I'd like to have that feature too. I programed the game badly though, that's a lot of work to add.

Someday.

Very cool

Only one criticism, and it's only because you're doing such a good job staying faithful to the original board game.

In the original board game, marines are allowed to move through each other's spaces, so long as they don't end their turns in the same space.

This tripped me up a few times the first time I played your version.

Oh, and the Operations scenario - in the original rule book, it states that Ripley *must* move Newt down the hallway at her first opportunity. (She can leave Newt there and return to the fight, tho.)

Leaderboard, please?

This game is AWESOME. The only thing missing is a High Scores leaderboard so that it can finally feel like you accomplished something after having beat it. All the invididual fields featured at the stats at the end of the levels should be included in the high scores.

But thank you. This game is awesome and what's more it is TRULY worthy of the movie it is based off, which is a rare thing indeed. Right on and game over, man!
