The \u201880s, as you&#8217;re likely aware, had a handful of now-iconic films that were definitely not for kids, but still found a way to market to them and my parents were totally down for it (I had the ED-209 toy from \u201cRobocop\u201d and the sandworm from \u201cDune\u201d to name a few). Like those films, including \u201cThe Terminator\u201d and \u201cPredator,\u201d they all left quite an impression on my youth (which explains\u2026 a lot).<\/p>\n<p>After watching \u201cAliens,\u201d I think it left one of the biggest marks, kicking off my imagination where I\u2019d run around the playground with friends channeling my inner Hudson, yelling \u201cGame over man!\u201d and pretending xenomorphs were nipping at my heels. It\u2019s this type of experience that I think Cold Iron Studios wants to harness with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/Aliens-Fireteam-Elite\/9NR4G0LZ67QF\"><strong><em>Aliens: Fireteam Elite<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, a co-op third-person survival shooter that drops us in the thick of an evolving xenomorph threat. After playing through the first few missions with an early preview build of the game on PC, I think it\u2019s the closest I\u2019ve come yet in a game to re-capturing that running around the playground feeling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere\u2019s movement all over the place!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Aliens: Fireteam Elite <\/em>takes place a few decades after the original trilogy of films. As a Colonial Marine &#8212; those heroic grunts that were made famous in the movies &#8212; you\u2019re stationed aboard the UAS Endeavor, a massive, space-faring troop carrier that has been sent to investigate a mysterious distress call in the outer colonies. Naturally, things go wrong, xenomorphs show up, and it\u2019s time to lock-and-load.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/hive-hunting-with-co-op-survival-shooter-aliens-fireteam-elite.jpg\" alt=\"Aliens: Fireteam Elite\" class=\"wp-image-157696\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>From its film-inspired setting, I appreciate that the xenos are already a known threat from the get-go. There\u2019s no, \u201cWhat are these things?!\u201d moments. Every marine on these missions wholly expects to encounter these bugs and they\u2019re all well-prepared to do so, from the detailed pre-mission briefings all the way through to the equipment on their back, they\u2019re ready to face this threat. What everyone is less prepared for &#8212; and this is where the story comes in &#8212; are the wide variety of xeno-types they will confront.<\/p>\n<p>Taking some inspiration, no doubt from iconic co-op shooters like <em>Left 4 Dead<\/em> and <em>Gears of War<\/em>, some of these xenos are designed to overwhelm you by sheer numbers, while others can explode and spray acid everywhere when destroyed, and some can even keep their range and \u201cspit\u201d at you (we\u2019re told to expect 11 different types of xenomorph throughout the course of the game). This presents you and your cohorts with a nice variety of enemies to blast, keeping the action feeling fresh as you navigate from checkpoint to checkpoint battling hordes of xenomorphs, all the while the mystery of what has gone wrong here slowly begins to be revealed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cExpress elevator to Hell.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of the first several levels I\u2019ve played through, mainly on the distressed Orbital Refinery Katanga, I\u2019ve been taken by how much Cold Iron Studios has nailed \u201cthe look\u201d of the films. Everything feels steeped in retro-future tech, much like how the excellent <em>Alien: Isolation <\/em>captured the look and feeling as well. Dimly lit corridors, acid sprayed metal walkways, flood lights, piles of crates, leaky pipes, and old CRT screens are all commonplace here.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/hive-hunting-with-co-op-survival-shooter-aliens-fireteam-elite-1.jpg\" alt=\"Aliens: Fireteam Elite\" class=\"wp-image-157697\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>One area that appears to still be under development in our preview build is the weapon audio, which sounded a little muted at times during our gameplay sessions; I was hoping for a little more punch from the M41A2 Pulse Rifle or feeling a little more rattled after an explosion. The voice acting is very well done, especially Staff Seargent Herrera, who you\u2019ll hear from a lot from as she barks orders in your ear and fills the role of narrator throughout the campaign missions. Also, the music is top-notch, feeling like parts of it were pulled from James Horner\u2019s excellent film score as the action starts to ramp up in-game and dials it down as your squad creeps through a smoke-filled corridor, hinting that danger is lurking just beyond your reach.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s the aliens themselves. They look, sound, and move just like you\u2019d hope, if not a little predictable about where they might rush into the level to attack \u2013 odds are good if you\u2019re walking past a vent shaft or if your squad is trapped in a narrow corridor, you can anticipate some resistance.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to tell this early how predictable or unpredictable these encounters can be on repeated playthroughs, but you can mix up the difficulty before missions through the game\u2019s \u201cChallenge Card\u201d system, which can modify how to plan for a mission, like playing only with your sidearm, finishing the mission in less than 15 minutes, or having your motion tracker randomly malfunction as a few such examples.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/hive-hunting-with-co-op-survival-shooter-aliens-fireteam-elite-2.jpg\" alt=\"Aliens: Fireteam Elite\" class=\"wp-image-157693\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Completing these challenges will net you a bonus payout at the end of the mission, like additional credits that let you purchase better weapons, consumables, and attachments, to additional experience points that you can put into your marine\u2019s perks to modify and improve their existing abilities, like increased accuracy for turrets or increased ability duration. You can also open marked storage crates during the level that can yield consumables to use in-mission. In short, there\u2019s a lot of variety that you can adjust on your own to help keep these encounters feeling fresh on repeated playthroughs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAnother glorious day in the corps!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For our preview build, we had access to four of the five available loadout kits: Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, and Doc; Recon was unavailable. As you might infer from their names, each brings a different element to the fight.<\/p>\n<p>Gunner is combat focused and has team buffs to improve fire and reload speed. Demolisher is all about heavy damage and can equip the awesome smart gun with auto-tracking (or an epic flame thrower). The Technician can set up sentry guns and utilize charge coils to slow enemies down, and Doc can deploy a trauma station that delivers an AOE healing effect when you\u2019re standing near it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/hive-hunting-with-co-op-survival-shooter-aliens-fireteam-elite-3.jpg\" alt=\"Aliens: Fireteam Elite\" class=\"wp-image-157694\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Each kit brings with it a unique role to the fight and finding a good balance between teammates as well as the ideal weapons, perks, or consumables can make or break your chances of getting back from your mission in one piece.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cNot bad, for a human.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible to play <em>Aliens: Fireteam <\/em>solo, but it\u2019s not an ideal experience from what we\u2019ve played. A Gunner Synth will auto-fill any open roster spots during matchmaking, but we highly recommend hopping online to be matched in a group that can better adapt to the alien threat throughout the game. The Synths, while useful in laying down a carpet of firepower, stick close by and (in this preview build) can\u2019t be given any specific squad commands &#8212; only a basic ping system lets you call out an area of the level that you\u2019re aiming at with a situational verbal cue.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the amount of work an indie studio like Cold Iron Studios has been able to pull off here so far is very impressive. There\u2019s a solid foundation here for a fun co-op multiplayer game and we\u2019re looking forward to checking out the finished experience when it hatches on August 24.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/hive-hunting-with-co-op-survival-shooter-aliens-fireteam-elite-4.jpg\" alt=\"Aliens: Fireteam Elite\" class=\"wp-image-157692\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/Aliens-Fireteam-Elite\/9NR4G0LZ67QF\"><strong><em>Aliens: Fireteam Elite<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is available for pre-order today on the Xbox Store and will launch August 24 for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S as an Xbox Series X|S Optimized title with Smart Delivery Support, giving you the best available version for your Xbox console at no extra cost.
