When I first started playing this game, it was so scary at first. Now, I was determined to save the arrival and Amanda from dispatching in the shuttle, from the space station. I managed to save them and collect the Aldin parts to the shuttle. Is there away you could create part 2? I recommend you to share this game process to the military services available. This is like a training work station for those who are interested, to learn more about extraterrestrial. ### 4/5 — Really good but a bit too hard. *2021-06-15, version 2.0.0* I have made it to the last level except now I only have one survivor after playing and playing the last level I have come to notice that it is almost impossible because the alien is hacking and finding the survivors in their hiding spots. Also it has been walking through walls. So please have difficulty setting and fix the with bugs. But it is a really good game it is one of my favorites so good job on your masterpiece. Also when you die I wish it would say “ game over man,game over”. That would make me really happy ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2020-12-01, version 2.0.0* I just have to say I love this game. I love the good graphics and the increasing difficulty as you go on. But I have noticed that their mouths don’t move when the talk so they look a little stiff. Well I am a huge alien fan and so far, your game is the best xenomorph game in the App Store. I highly suggest you make more alien games. Oh and one question did the people who made alien isolation work with you because this game is good. Thank you for making this awesome game. It would be cool if there was like a mode where you Were a alien queen and you had to guide the xenomorph to kill the crew. Also maybe add some kill animations because I saw the alien kill some one and they just disappear. Other wise this is a great game! Keep up the good work guys and hope you make more alien games! A good idea might be an among us like game but with alien. As a true alien fan I support this game 100%. Good job guys. Thanks for reading this. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback and review! It's great to hear all the positive comments from Alien fans! We did not work directly with the folks that made the Isolation game but we did work very closely with FOX to make a fun game that blends well with the Alien universe. We will be sure to pass along your thoughts to the team! Thanks! ### 4/5 — For an app.... it’s good *2020-11-02, version 2.0.0* I have played the PC version of this game over and over. If anyone knows someone who made the original, please, for all that is good in this world, tell them to make a sequel. It’s an amazing game.... This app game is not a FPS. This game follows Ripely after the Alien Isolation game. An alien managed to get on the ship she is on and she is hiding from the alien and while sending out SOS. A crew docks with the ship looking to make some repairs to their shuttle craft. Ripley, uses her abilities to tap into cameras and door locks while hiding in the air ducts. She aids the team while they try to complete objectives and avoid the alien. It’s a creative way to get an alien fix. But I still want an AI part 2 for the PC!! Please! Someone... Update: they need to fix the survival mode to skip the first level. Lost of introduction crap we don’t need ### 4/5 — One of the first full games I’ve found *2020-08-24, version 2.0.0* As the title says, this is one of the games on mobile that resembles games on PC and Gaming Consoles. That alone is enough to make it a worthwhile purchase, especially for 99 cents. It resembles FNAF, in terms of survival from a over arching enemy, and tracking it through cameras, but this game adds to it by letting you control other doors in the area and forcing you to lead a group to safety. I’m not easily scared by horror like in this game, but I still enjoyed the game. That being said, I would personally like one thing fixed, and maybe a few things added. The thing I would want fixed is touch registration. I sometimes try to close doors next to a motion detection area, and a lot of the time it toggles the motion detection instead of the door. It’s still %100 playable but that bug can be frustrating. I would also like to see more levels or a level editor possibly, and I would understand them being added as DLC or the price of the base product’s price being increased. Again the two additions I suggested aren’t important, but I would want to see the bug fixed. ### 1/5 — Lies, Fake Reviews - Crap Game! *2020-07-16, version 2.0.0* Total ripoff of money. I want a refund for being conned by fake reviews. Editor must not have played it, because it is total crap 100%. Shame on you for promoting this ultra garbage. Boring, lame controls (if you can even call them controls). Lame help system ultra stupid. Basically, subpar painted backgrounds (sufferingly blurry graphics), lame map interface, and characters who speak with no facial movement ... how is this an Editor’s Choice? Oh ... I get it now ... extra perks for the Editor to promote this developers trash. Probably gave an extended advertising signing bonus for promoting this trash. Good job of getting you pals to write the positive fake reviews. Shame on you for robbing people with this farce of a review. Give me my money back, you thieves! ### 3/5 — Good just needs some improvement *2020-05-04, version 2.0.0* A very five nights at freddys feel when it comes to gameplay. My biggest complaint is that it starts you off right away with no explanation of the controls and very little help. There is a little option in the menu to show you some of it but I think a introduction to the controls was very much needed in the beginning. it’s an unforgiving game if you make a mistake, so clear laid out controls should have been apart of the opening. The story is good and voice acting and such, I think it has great potential. I will give it a try again maybe after looking up a how to play video hopefully I can find one. ### 5/5 — I rarely rate 5 stars *2020-03-26, version 2.0.0* Now this game has me in awe. I never expected a mobile game to get this good. I am a big fan of alien isolation and I have beaten it in every single difficulty. I knew that this game was the sequel but I didn’t expect what happened. I won’t tell any spoilers by this is my new favorite game and I play it anytime I can. It is not too scary for me (don’t worry it is still scary as heck but I’m used to it) and it’s smooth and has you on edge. When I first saw the alien I did actually scream because I didn’t expect to see it that early because I’m alien isolation you don’t actually get to see the alien until after an hour of gameplay. This is my new favorite game and I love it it is worth the money and awesome! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! We appreciate your support for Alien: Blackout. ### 5/5 — 5 STARS!! *2020-01-28, version 2.0.0* I think this is an amazing game, and I love every little thing about it, it’s just insanely incredible that it’s on mobile, and I would recommend this game to anyone. Now there would be some nice touches like when a crew member dies blood goes on the wall or their body just lays there bleeding out what’s left, also if you could be a crew member and walk around trying to avoid and and a.i. OR EVEN MULTIPLAYER Can be the at the panel. Like voice chat and their voice is distorted like an affect and they can help you and guide you. Geez, that’s overwhelming, well still the game is amazing in every way, like checking the vent, what vent it is, it’s just so good. Ima wrap this up but thanks for the game. I 100% do not and never will regret my buy. ### 3/5 — Alien Blackout is a great game, but it has some flaws *2020-01-13, version 2.0.0* Alien Blackout is a fantastic game but it’s too dang short. The gameplay is fun. It always keeps you on your tows. The game looks great too. But theirs not that much. Here’s some things that would help to improve your game. First, add more levels or an endless mode. Second, in that endless mode make it so where you can change the setting of the game so like alien ai or add more bots. I’ve also completed the game one time with one survivor and with all four. Well, that’s all I can think of right now so well I hope this helped you and such. Update 1: is this game still getting updates? Update 2: I really hope this game get’s more updates, like a sandbox mode, where you can build your own level with the rooms that are already in the game. More levels would be nice, but the sandbox mode would be good for that. **Developer response:** Thank you so much, we're very happy to hear you like the game!
