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?

The combat system is horrible! It's like they took Space Hulk and Gears of Wars and omitted all the good things of those games! So your accuracy drops the more you shoot? First shot is your best shot...even at a xeno all across the board (with line of sight)? No overwatch except until the alien is adjacent? A xeno attacks but only knocks you down? No alien acid blood? The amount of stupidity of this combat system is beyond comprehension. Sloppy game design and then you used screen-shots for the artwork? That makes it sloppy, lazy, and cheap!

As an avid wargamer, minis painter, and board gamer, this game has everything I need in it. I was happy to spend time during the pandemic assembling and painting this. It plays solo, which was also a plus. Now in the days of vaccines, I have started to play the campaign as multiplayer, showing this to my friends.

it captures the tension and feeling of the movies but as a game has some flaws and the assembly of minis was almost a deal breaker for me.
