Oh, wait, Contra's enemies were already pretty inspired by the Alien series. Well, this one has more of them. We find no problem with this.

It's been a while since I last bought a game for my DS. It'll be nice to do that again. This is really looking awesome.

An Aliens game that plays like Metroid, seems fitting.

...This is for DS? I swear it looks like a GBA game. Even that's kind of generous...this could also pass for a GBC game.
Not knocking graphical quality entirely -- a game can be ugly and play awesome -- but even the gameplay looks generic.

I played a lot of "Alien 3" on the SNES back in the olden days, and it looks like that game mated with "Metroid Fusion" to create this lovely, lovely child. I'll be buying this one for sure.

looking pretty nice, if you ask me. i really appreciate the minimal style and exploration and atmosphere. WayForward has really been on point lately. between Shantae, Contra 4, A Boy and His Blob, BloodRayne: Betrayal and now this- they're quickly becoming one of my favorite small-time developers. looking forward to playing this one :D

Boy with a Blob was okay but the rest were quite bad games. In an age where people like Lada Gaga and Bieber are popular, its also spreading into games

@Tihn
if you mean bad as in awesome, then yes, contra 4 is incredibly mindblowingly bad.

cool concept, but the gameplay from this first stage looks strange; he walks up to the droid until he gets shot (apparently he could not avoid it) then just fools the robot by _crouching_ , where apparently he is invulnerable. this would work in contra where a shot would kill you. and the alien seems more interested in dancing around and jumping than attacking. i will have to wait to see a competent player doing a later stage before i want to try.
