This game is first and foremost a play on nostalgia, which totally works for me, I loved Alien Breed on the Amiga. The gameplay and style is very similar to the original, basically a top-down survival horror game. It works, but is a bit lacking in auditory and visual gameplay feedback, specifically some feedback to attack hits would have been nice. The graphics generally look great, with a nice 80s sci-fi horror tone. However, the framerate is not quite there, and the camera controls are annoying (maybe its just that I feel that they are reversed :). The sounds and music are very well done, very atmospheric and with a nice tense feeling. The main problem is the mission structure, which is mind-numblingly dull, sort of like the structure of Borderlands, but without any character or engagement.
