Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded

The technical state is terrible. It seems this game would be better off on GOG. It crashes immediately after the intro sequence upon launch - though this can be fixed by setting compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3 - but then there is no sound. And at that point, I just couldn't be bothered to troubleshoot it any further.

Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded feels more like a downgrade than an upgrade to the original. The RPG system has been simplified, the character customization is worse, and the added missions feel poorly designed and disconnected from the rest of the game. The enemy AI and pathfinding can be terrible, with enemies getting stuck on obstacles, while the combat becomes repetitive very quickly. There are also crashes and compatibility problems on modern PCs, with some players unable to get the game running properly without workarounds. It’s still fun to mow down huge hordes of aliens, but the original Alien Shooter 2: Vengeance is the better version.

This is supposed to be a remake/remaster of the original "Alien Shooter Vengeance" game. I recently committed to doing a full playthrough of this game and I have to say, As much as i love the banger of a soundtrack this game has and how much i like the more Streamlined Mechanics of the Stats System, I don't like the changes to the enemy composition in the levels as it feels like it pulled a "Doom 2" with the "Master Levels" in which they took each stage and just pumped in more High Level Enemies to fight against, essentially spamming the levels with what feels like triple the amount of enemies who have also had their HP values increased along side more appearances of Teleportation Machines which act as infinite enemy spawners until they're destroyed. By the end of the game I was just exhausted, and just wanted to beat the final boss to put this game behind me. I had more fun playing Alien Shooter Vengeance, but sadly that game is no longer available on steam, and I have a feeling it's because of something to do with "Strategy First", so this is the only version anyone will get to experience from now on, which is kind of sad. If it's a game that strikes your fancy having never …
