Many people thought it might be a full-on <em>Alien: Isolation<\/em> sequel. I imagine those people are a bit disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Still, on paper <em>Blackout<\/em> doesn\u2019t seem that bad so far. It\u2019s billed as being a \u2018survival\/horror\u2019 game, where you play as Amanda Ripley as she attempts to guide the crew of damaged space station to safety, out of the way of a rampant xenomorph.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JXgAMbyZZS8?controls=0]<\/p>\n<p>The choices you make in the game, whether to sacrifice certain crew-members or try to use the station\u2019s damaged systems, will affect the outcome. Pocket Gamer even thinks it\u2019ll be a premium game, given that the action is spread across seven distinct levels. It\u2019s not your typical freemium structure, at any rate, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p><em>Blackout<\/em> is being developed by FoxNext Games, D3 Go! Whose previous claims to fame is some licensed <em>Puzzle Ques<\/em>t titles. Rival Games, from Finland, are also helping out, and you may know them from <em>Thief of Thieves<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>No word on a release date as of yet, but we know it\u2019s coming to iTunes, Google Play and the Amazon App Store.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe Robinson 07 Jan 2019 After the critical acclaim of Alien: Isolation on PC\/console,\u00a0\u00a0I imagine there\u2019s plenty of mobile gamers who\u2019d want a decent Alien-esque experience on mobile on their smartphones or tablets.\u00a0The real question is whether or not the recently announced\u00a0Alien: Blackout is the droid you were looking for.
