![]() Regardless, the RPG elements are admirably implemented and complement the action gameplay nicely. With a name like that you know just what you’re in for, and their latest title, Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded, doesn’t disappoint on that front.Īlien Shooter 2 bills itself as a ‘unique’ blend of action and RPG, which implies that Sigma Team have spent the last twenty plus year living in a ditch somewhere in Afghanistan. However, Sigma Team have taken things a step further, producing an entirely new (albeit highly familiar) retro experience with their Alien Shooter series. Game developers seem to be going through a nostalgic phase at the moment, with old classics such as Bionic Commado and Gauntlet receiving updates and the likes of Alien Breed undergoing the same treatment. Sometimes a vague attempt at a plot would be introduced: “The President has been kidnapped by Dracula! Unfortunately, due to staff shortages, we can only afford to send in one guy to rescue him - you!” Still, despite the cheap production and often repetitive gameplay, those games were ridiculous fun - all the more so with a good friend playing alongside you. Occasionally you’d get an Elite or a Legend of Zelda that pushed the basic technology to its limits, but most titles had you scrolling left to right, obliterating blocky enemies either by shredding them with an obscenely huge gun/axe, or by jumping on their heads if it was a Nintendo game. ‘Back in the day’, games were largely simple, satisfying affairs. ![]()
