Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps! is a co‑operative survival board game in which you and your team of specialist Colonial Marines will gear up with serious firepower and head into Hadley’s Hope to find survivors and answers. But you’re not alone. To survive, you’ll need to work together, keep your cool, and stay frosty to fight off relentless Xenomorph ambushes and get out of there alive.
Players can play up to six different missions, taking them into different areas from the Hadley’s Hope terraforming facility to the deep, dark recesses of an xenomorph nest. Aliens also offers an exciting campaign mode to play four of the missions linked together, so players will need to fight relentless xenomorph attacks and keep each other alive all the way to the end of the campaign. The remaining two missions are purely about survival, it’s kill or be killed. The players are dropped into the game with nothing more than a pistol. They will need to scavenge weapons and gear while hordes of Xenomorph aliens are trying to get at them. How long can you survive against the odds?

PS - one more thing. No , let me make it the first thing you will read. The box the game is made of, you know... the outer cardboard shell is made out of the sh!ttiest quality thin material that can be VISIBLY and effortlessly squished with one hand. THANK YOU GF9! Onto the review. The only reason for liking this game is if one does not know the decades old history of games that did all this so much better and does not review this game in context with Leading Edge Aliens, FFG Doom and Gears of War, Ludically Earth Reborn, Privateer Press Level 7 Omega Protocol or simple and beautifully elegant grand daddy of dungeon shooters; Richard Halliwell's Space Hulk. All of these were designs that actually advanced the genre and at the same time were unique on its own. A:AGDintC on the other hand will be forgotten soon enough. - the minis are the worst ones. Especially if one is used to out of this world resin minis quality from AvP Prodos Games or metal minis from Corvus Belli (+ anything GW). But i knew that already just looking at the photos. I got the game solely for the gameplay , right? Oh boy.... - dry euro game, worse in every aspect than the 30 years old Leading Edge game. The only "unique" gimmick: the deck of cards introduces a dry euro design that has no purpose of being in this game altogether. This deck of cards has no genius of Mark Herman's CDG , worse even, using the deck has little to no inpact on player's decisions with the exception of one card that spawns aliens directly near you , forcing out of you (at last) some kind of a reaction. - the same adjacent aliens mechanic makes you clump up your marines and roll like a starcraft 2 deathball. No tactics involved at all . - incomprehensibly botched rulebook. - uninspiring and bad quality game tiles. (look at Space Hulk) - simplistic combat and alien ai, oh the sweet oldschool times, where the "ai" could just be the player himself. The bad AI is a must if a game has to qualify for 2020 coop game bandwagon. But how about the designer checks what has already been done in ai programming field and learns from the likes of John Butterfield. - NO ACiD SPLASH ????! What kind of alien game does not have acid damage. Even old arcade games knew what is cool. Frankly, that was to be expected, when there is total radio silence before the release and no news from the company beside vague trailers. The games has also been delayed numerous times meaning it has been in even more unrefined state for a long time before GF9 decided to release it at last. Many people bought this game, only because famous influencers gave this game very high notes, but do note that their reviews were pretty short and sketchy for their usual standards, and focused heavily on the "gimmicky" deck of cards. Because this is the only thing this game has in store. No aliens in this box.

I would give this game more stars, as I do really enjoy some of the gameplay mechanics. But... the solo/2p rules are simply wrong (Use 3 motion track (MT) cards during Alien Act, really helps game play), Bug Hunt seems too drawn out (recommend cutting 2nd MT deck in half and playing till you run out) and their current rules allow for an obscene amount of aliens to enter the board (too long and arduous maybe even impossible to win), 8 page FAQ had to be released, and OH YEAH the ELEPHANT in the ROOM - YOU HAVE TO GLUE ALL YOUR MINIATURES TOGETHER (2-3hrs not including dry time). So... Once you get past these issues and the feeling that you are working for Gale Force Nine to get the game you want - You can finally jump into some really fun movie-driven action!

Aliens - Encore une jolie journée au soleil est un jeu coopératif survivaliste avec des figurines, basé sur l'histoire du film "Aliens, le retour" qui s'adresse à un public initié. Les règles du jeu ne sont pas extrêmement complexes mais certains points de règles sont peu clairs et nécessitent de retourner dans la règle plusieurs fois pendant la mission. Lorsque vous lancez une mission, vous pouvez soit la jouer seule, soit la jouer en campagne. C'est lors des campagnes que le jeu devient encore plus intéressant car la mission jouée va directement impacter sur la suite de la campagne ! En plus de cela, mission après mission, vous allez sentir la tension monter. Si vous perdez des coéquipiers, vous pourrez lancer des missions de sauvetage, il en va de même pour les ressources avec les missions de ravitaillement mais ces missions en plus sont à vos risques et périls ! Le jeu se base sur le 2ème film de la série Aliens : Aliens, le retour. Les 3 missions présentes dans la boîte de base couvrent le début du film où les Marines ainsi que Ripley arrivent sur la planète et tentent de rechercher des survivants, c'est d'ailleurs comme cela qu'ils retrouvent la petite Newt ! Comme dans le film, vous vivrez cela dès la première mission ! La thématique du film est parfaitement respectée ! Il faudra cependant acquérir les extensions, disponibles à ce jour uniquement en anglais, pour vivre 100% du film ! Côté matériel, c'est qualitatif. Chaque élément permet une bonne immersion dans le jeu. Toutes les images sont tirées directement du film pour les fiches personnages. Chaque personnage est aussi équipé de son compteur permettant de gérer la précision de chaque tir lors des attaques ou des ripostes. Les plateaux de jeux semblent directement sortis du film, encore un composant du jeu qui permet de renforcer l'immersion ! Sans oublier les figurines ! Après 2 petites heures de montages, vous serez prêt à jouer. Pour les amateurs de peinture, vous pourrez vous faire une joie de les peindre car elles ont plein de petits détails. Les aliens sont vraiment très sympas ! Aliens - Encore une jolie journée au soleil est un jeu de type améritrash, un jeu où il faudra survivre tout en exterminant les xénomorphes qui surgissent de nul part et réussir les différentes missions ! Le jeu propose tout ce qu'il faut pour être au plus près du film et ressentir la tension de celui-ci ! Si vous êtes un fan de l'univers d'Aliens et que vous aimez les jeux de figurines de ce type, foncez ! Vous allez adorer !
