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?

Full review: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/09/aliens-board-game-is-another-ho-hum-dungeon-crawler/ --------------------------------------------------------- Initial impression is that it's decent. There are glimpses of some solid ideas, but the main Endurance mechanism is a little fiddly and abstract for it's position as the main focal point of the game. Assembling the minis was a pain, but not a deal breaker by any means. The primary problem this game faces is that this genre is loaded with good games. This isn't the achievement Nemesis was, and it doesn't really tackle the essence of Aliens any better than Space Hulk.

Igual tenía las expectativas por las nubes. Franquicia favorita y la sombra de juegos como Némesis. Es más un Space Hulk pero en lo poco que he jugado veo escenarios muy poco testeados. En el primero me he escapado con Newt en apenas 3 turnos. De momento decepción, pero la daré más oportunidades. Al menos voy a pintar las figuras lo mejor que pueda, que están rechulas.

The components especially the cards, boards and tokens feel cheap I have already had to repair my boards and tokens. The Cards retain oils from fingers very easily. Also the miniature Assembly is not easy for friendly for people that don't regularly assemble miniatures. The entire 6 character balance level and killing of swarms of enemies feels a lot like Zombicide. The grunt system and the Endurance deck are some cool new mechanics but it's not as exciting as I hoped for. Hoping the expansion add more to it but for now would rather play Zombicide Invader instead of this.
