Our take on Alien Breed: Impact
Rather than centering the campaign on solo play alone, the game also makes online two-player cooperation a distinct mode, with three maps tailored to that format. Its solo replay structure also uses completed missions as high-score challenges instead of describing a separate set of challenge levels.
What is Alien Breed: Impact?
Alien Breed: Impact is a science-fiction arcade shooter that combines survival horror with tactical weapon upgrades and customisation.
Its single-player campaign follows a story through five environments. After completing a campaign mission, players can replay it in a free-play challenge and try to beat their high score. Online co-op supports two players, who fight alien enemies across three dedicated maps. The game includes Quick Match, game creation, friends lists, voice chat, leaderboards, and co-op achievements. Players can collect cash from fallen comrades and lockers, then spend it on weapon and kit upgrades in a shop. A Prologue sample can be played alone or online with another player.
