this looks interesting, an arcade style old school alien shooter....simple no-nonsense run and gun, it's out soon.

This looks like just what I'm after, some no nonsense action that I can play at leisure without having to invest half my life into trying to get to level 1 million.

I'm in for sure.

yea' it'll be miles easier than BL2 for sure, it's an old fashioned linear corridor shooter, more like a cross between Bulletstorm/Gears of War, but it does look polished and with good movement/ mechanics

it's about time we had something like this...it'll be fast and hectic, but no stupid gimmicks or tricks !!!!!

a DOOM fan eh !

well dont hold your breath, because that wont be out for at least another two years, the best you can hope for next year is Serious Sam 4

Looks good. Hard Reset meets Quake 2.

it's out next week, on the 24th, how good it is depends on it's story/plot; if it even has one, because i expect it'll be like Bulletstorm.....Brainless fun.

but there's so little else around, that i'm getting quite excited by it.

RevBillyG · 21 Sep 2013 at 14:25

If it's like Bulletstorm, I'll be happy. Good, clean(-ish), fun

Mal X · 21 Sep 2013 at 15:00

it looks like really great fun, but it's only 12 quid :eek:

so lets hope it isn't buggy, i'll let you play it first

I still play the original via zdaemon and so a few years more wait wont hurt.

``Though Alien Rage feels dated when comparing it to modern shooters, it is a terrific experience. It embraces the fact that many of its design choices are meant to play to old-school sensibilities and it’s a better game for it. Though enemy AI can be infuriating and the checkpoints are too far spaced out, the core gameplay feels fantastic. Combine that with incredible visual design and animation, and you’ve got a great old-school shooter for a budget price. Fans of old-school shooters will definitely want to give it a try.``

it's getting good reviews

.....AI= Infuriating, means it's hard to kill; especially the bosses
