Important Note: If you’re accustomed to the world of Doom mods then they can be a little tricky (and Aliens: Eradication is a little more fiddly because it uses assets you need to load from Kontra Kommando’s Aliens: Trilogy/Ultimate Doom mod). Aliens games have been pretty hit or miss in the past, but this is far from just another bug hunt.

It’s a very impressive game that really manages to nail the Aliens vibe, with an authentic feeling LV426 setting, perfect weapon models (including the all-important motion tracker), excellent audio design and plenty of terrifying Aliens to blast. Combat Synthetics are also tasked with eliminating the alien threat and must find repair/replacement stations located throughout the colony to heal (they can’t use the standard health kits). Yutani Operatives are given the instructions “Kill Them All, Leave No Witnesses”, so must eliminate Coloinists and Mercenaries, as well as Xenomorphs. Mercenaries objectives are to steal valuable research and escape.

If playing as a Colonist you’ll attempt to survive and escape the facility, using electrical and fuel systems to create fires and electrocution traps. It features four playable characters, each with their own unique objectives (though staying alive is your main one) and sees you exploring a Xenomorph infested secret research facility on LV426. It’s a full Aliens themed single player FPS which uses assets from Kontra Kommando’s (also excellent) Aliens: Trilogy/Ultimate Doom mod. We don’t cover Mods on Alpha Beta Gamer very often, but Aliens: Eradication is a particularly good project that is worth shouting about. Aliens: Eradication is a fantastic Doom 2 total conversion mod that sees you exploring a secret second research colony on LV426 that’s been struggling with the consequences of a containment breach.
