Isometric shooter set in the fantasy/science-fiction, which is the spiritual successor of similar conceptually, Dead Nation. The player takes the role of a mercenary who fights against all the hordes of invading aliens. In addition, the Alienation offers an optional cooperative mode for four people.

God is a GeekMick FraserApr 20169/10Alienation may lack the tactical nuance of Helldivers, but it makes up for it with tight shooting and a tonne of pretty-pretty explosions.

WccftechFrancesco De MeoApr 20169/10With a frenetic gameplay experience, a vast array of customization features, engaging online multiplayer, a good amount of content and very solid performance, Alienation is one of the best shooter games released this year on all formats. The lack of offline co-op might be a detriment for those who don't like to play online, but this is the only flaw of a really solid package. Housemarque definitely capitalized on years of experience, releasing a shooter that's nothing short of impressive.

GamingBoltJosh GriffithsMay 20165/10Alienation isn't a terrible game by any stretch, but it's not great either. It's monotonous and lifeless, but can entertain in short bursts and with friends. Housemarque has done better in the past, and they should have done better here.

Metro GameCentralDavid JenkinsApr 20166/10A disappointingly bland top-down shooter, that while entertaining enough with friends lacks the finely tuned splendour of Stardust and Resogun.
