Updating 2022

PS Regal Theater has the Alien arcade game ready for use. 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.

Really good but a bit too hard.

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

BEST GAME EVER

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.

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!

For an app.... it’s good

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

One of the first full games I’ve found

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.

Lies, Fake Reviews - Crap Game!

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!

Good just needs some improvement

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.

I rarely rate 5 stars

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!

Thank you for the review! We appreciate your support for Alien: Blackout.

5 STARS!!

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.

Alien Blackout is a great game, but it has some flaws

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.

I love it!

I was skeptical to say the least when I saw that there was an Alien Isolation spin-off coming to Mobile. After all, it is probably one of my favorite games of all time, and mobile has a tendency to ruin good IPs... But I am pleasantly surprised to see that the mobile game subverted my low expectations by capturing the same atmosphere and tension as the console game. They definitely got a few scares out of me which I didn’t expect from a mobile game, and overall I just find it to be a surprisingly fitting addition to the universe. I would happily buy a sequel of this mobile game as well. Overall I just find the game to be unique, graphically satisfying, and fun. Managing your fear and uncertainty with limited resources is such a satisfying treat, especially when you implement a plan and it is successful. They manage to keep the difficulty of the original game and capture that whole “oh... she got me again. Not this time Alien!” feeling I got from the first game. Really really have to applaud you dev team for the work you put into this game. It is clearly a labor of love and well worth the asking price in my opinion.

Straight From the Film

These are some notes/ thoughts I took in real time, while playing this game.

I was very skeptical of the quality and immersion of this game. I mean after all it’s a phone game, but I was PLEASANTLY surprised by the quality, craftsmanship, time and effort that went into making this game feel like it’s something right out of the movie!

Great intro graphics

Voice actors sounds incredibly like the voice actor from alien isolation and like she is Ripleys daughter from the films

Love the old typing sound and font style on the screens like you would see in the movies and on computers from that time.

The Alien looks so much like the film aliens. The action starts right away which is refreshing since there is no boring, uninteresting intro.

I love that Amanda can control everything through the area she is in and help the newly docked arrivals.

The music in between is beautiful and eerie, a great choice for this type of suspenseful game.

You’ll be clenching your jaw and gripping the edge of your seat, it’s truly just as scary and suspenseful as the movies the levels may seem short but they are extremely well crafted, thought out and executed.

I’m just to level two and I will definitely be playing this over and over!!

Worth the money and hoping for more!

I love everything alien and I saw this game on a recent snow storm in Denver a couple days ago and figured why not? It is incredible challenging and literally keeps you on your toes!!! A few times I screamed from not checking my surroundings and not listening carefully. I would LOVE more of this game and more levels! My only disappointment was it’s a short story and I’m hoping that they add more! The story I didn’t pay much attention because I was trying to keep everyone alive, haha! The visuals, the sounds, the story line almost had me feel like I was crouched in a ventilation shaft! Great work and recommend playing this with headphones for a incredible experience!

Great game but can you could expand!

So it is a visually striking game with great animations for a great price however I think you could expand.
New missions:
Savior mission: you and your team go onto the ship in a first person multiplayer view and have to save people who are stuck on the ship and kill the aliens if you need to and make sure they don’t die while a mpc gives you instructions on where to go in the security paddock having the ability to open the doors.

Savior mission variant 2: this would be a mission in the jungle where you have to go with your multiplayer team to investigate the cite and find and clues then survive the aliens and watch your teams back.

Savior mission variant 3: so you and your team is in one the hardest positions you must search the giant xenomorph pod area from the movie where multiple aliens come out of the grotesk breeding walls made of slime and goup from the xenomorph and there is a alien queen hiding within.

These don’t need to be added and I’m not trying to ruin the main part of the game I just think it could be expanded on.

5 out of 5 Stars, Amazing Game!

I don’t know how much I can say about bugs and such as I just started playing, but here’s what you can expect from the game:

• Very amazing graphics
• Alien Isolation’s Protagonist returns
• Xenomorph is fast as usual
• Keeps you on edge
• Has awesome voice acting

If you go in expecting it to be Alien Isolation Mobile Edition....don’t. It’s its own separate game with Ripley returning as the main character. Now I’m not criticizing this in the slightest, I’m pushing out what people expect and think the game is. The camera system is similar to FNaF and it isn’t. You are actually responsible for these 4 crewmembers lives and let me just say 3 out of 4 are dead. Mostly because of my own lack in strategy. You can open and shut doors, and must keep an eye on your own vent for the lovely Mrs. Xenomorph. The game is half first and half third person view.

Now, is this game scary? In my opinion, yes. I mean, Isolation absolutely had me on edge, this gives more of a paranoia fright to it and while it doesn’t necessarily come for me 24/7, I feel bad as I see the horrible fate of these innocent fools who landed in the station.

If you like Alien spinoffs, it’s worth the $4.99. I feel my money was well spent and give this game a 5/5 stars.

So good! Better than five nights at Freddy’s But..

I really like the alien franchise. I like how you can guide the crew through the station, but with fear. I like the details too! This is a good game. But wat would be cool if u can maybe add a mode where u can play multiplayer and nobody guides the crew. But work together to fix things and find controls to get out of the space station. That would actually be really cool. And someone can be the alien. It can be a random picker. And there can also be like a few maps. That would make the game pretty awesome. If you do, that would be very very cool! And good job on the game! 🤩

LOVE THIS GAME....but a suggestion...

This game for me is very intense and keeps me nervous when playing. I’ve had a lot of fun beating the main levels but after I beat it I wanted more. There should be a game mode (or some type of dlc) where you play as one of the crew and try to survive the alien as Amanda tells you what to do and where the alien is. We should be able to walk around and hide in places when the alien comes. It shouldn’t be where we have weapons to defend ourself (not like Alien: Isolation) but just mainly fixing the ship and doing it fast. I think that would be a very interesting concept, we should listen to Ripley but also do what we think is best for our survival. Just an idea guys, would love to see it come to light.

My idea for multiplayer in this game

I have a multiplayer idea for this game 4 crew members 1 watcher over the cameras the watcher can send coordinates to the player on where to go tell them when a xenomorph is nearby and basically help them out instead of a.i. It’s a real person so cooperative gameplay also with the crew members that are players can have weapons to defend against the a.i. Cores and maybe xenomorphs also maybe the xenomorphs could also be a player or a.i. Probably a.i. So scary on pc when the thing would run around and search for you

Also I finally get the game now have a full crew and it’s much easier

I finished the game idk what to do now can you please add more modes

Great potential

This game is amazing. It’s fun, challenging, and puts me on a roller coaster of anxiety and relief constantly. Although it’s so entertaining and interactive I feel like you would draw a larger crowd and make more profit as well as players happy if you added someway for A. Ripley to walk around like in Isolation. But it doesn’t have to be a shooter she should just be able to hide open close doors on etc... Or a mode that makes it possible to control one of the crew members in first person and switch back and forth between them and Ripley as you try to navigate the station and unlock doors and complete objectives.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy this great game 10/10 recommend.

Holy Martians...(get it? I thought it was funny)

At first, I thought five bucks was a bit steep, but after the reviews and alien as a whole I said, “why not?”. This game is stunning! I have yet to see an app game like this be compatible and be way worth the money. I am a little disappointed with how much is IN the game however, but what’s there is golden👌! One thing I do wish there was is extra story, like them having to go to the planet the Zenemorph came from. Or maybe this being a more open game like isolation. But the gameplay and the story there is still 👌. The system for Amanda is really silly however, in my opinion. Only because you can’t see the alien until it’s at the door, or the door just doesn’t close at all. You should still be able to see it in the vents closest to Ripley so you know where it’s kinda coming from. This game is difficult and I like that. It makes you have to make dangerous decisions to ultimately save the crew.
Things I see:
Beautiful graphics
Stellar levels
Hard to dodge AI
Good basic story
Things that should change (in my opinion again)
More story or some DLC
Longer main game (I would not mind another game 😏)
More trackers in vents or vent cams
This is a really fun game that I will never forget, regardless of how short, I have had plenty of close calls. Hope to see this company come out with another alien game, much like this one with some of the changes. Hope to hear more soon!
