Ever wanted an RPG like Diablo with aliens and guns instead? Look no further.

User Rating: 8 | Alien Shooter: Vengeance PC
So after Diablo and Diablo 2 has come and gone, good, solid and really fun RPG's like Diablo were hard to come by. Then suddenly I came across Alien Shooter. The first one was mediocre at best, but this one...This one is quite fun to play. It has a slight element of "been there done that", but I think Old School shooter would suit it better.

Story is definitely not one of this games strong point. After so many products of similar timelines etc etc, Alien Shooter's storyline doesn't seem original anymore. Basically set in the near future where you are a soldier drawn into a plot -with very familiar and relatively predictable plot twists- where you basically kill aliens that are bent on world domination. Heard it from somewhere before? Quite a number of places from here and there actually. And the storyline is very short, only about 15 missions and you're done.

So storyline isn't one of the games strong points, its the gameplay that is. For those who like intense action, a variety of awesome guns and lots -and I mean lots- of blood and aliens to kill, this is definitely the game for you. Even Diablo didn't had this many demons to kill in a single sitting! Which is why there are a huge variety of guns to choose from.

Music from this game can shift the mood while playing, like for example sometimes when you engage a huge hoard of aliens the music will shift to a rock/heavy metal one to suit the mood. Graphics are quite well done and nicely polished, details are good as well.

All in all, an arcade style RPG (amount of lives, can't save during game) that is best for hardcre RPG gamers, gamers who love lots of action, blood or gore and those looking for time to kill. This game is best played in short doses though, since it is very repetitive.
