Theres a game called Alien Swarm the game is kind of Action-RPG-ish and the view is from a isometric birds eye view kind of angle. It has 4 player co-op I think it would be great if we all got this and played together, it's really fun. Theres these like perks and weapons and you can choose your class. Anyway it's free and has 4 player co-op might as well get it!!  :welp:







The screenshots don't look like much but it is an extremely fun game!! I recommend you guys get this and we arrange a time where we can play together! It's time GW got together more often and played games.

you could try resizing them and uploading them somewhere else.  I am reading this topic from my netbook right and now and I don't really feel like having to scroll all the way over for every single fucking picture.

Yea it's pretty fun but after awhile it starts to repeat itself and the unlockables get less and less imaginative, like you get a sentry, then a flamethrower and then a flamethrower sentry and to be honest there is only so much gadgets and weapons you can think up when the core gameplay is what it is.


I did like it overall and it was going into the right direction but after you complete the campaign there isn't all that much replay value besides getting more unlockables. Trying out harder difficulties is a breath of fresh air after discovering how easy the game gets on Normal when one of your squad members has a flamethrower.

I don't know how modable the game is gonna be but if it gets modded I can imagine it will get so much better than what it is now, it has a lot of potential but it feels like there isn't enough gameplay elements. You go around and blow shit up, you can weld doors and you are required to hack consoles but that really is all you can really do.


Its sorta like Left 4 Dead IN SPACE except that you can't play as the baddies and you don't feel like an idiot for wasting money on it, because it's free.



Bottom line: Liked it a lot but I would've wanted it to go further and have some real innovations.

It has its own SDK, and it has a thing called TileGen for creating randomised levels or non-randomised levels. The source code was released with the game as well. Sounds like it will be pretty moddable. Considering you can choose campaign, I am either expecting a developer campaign on player-created ones relatively soon.

I really like this game. Too bad the campaign is too short. I am eagerly awaiting modders to do make cool things.
