Aliens: Fireteam Elite
A serviceable Alien co-op shooter that scratches the itch for horde combat but doesn't quite justify the grind long-term.
GamerScout Verdict
Solid three-player co-op shooter with legs only if you have friends and patience for the grind.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Aliens: Fireteam Elite
I went in hoping for Left 4 Dead meets the Alien franchise, and that's sort of what you get. Fireteam Elite is a three-person cooperative third-person shooter where you gun down waves of Xenomorphs across campaign missions, then farm endgame difficulty tiers for better loot. The gunplay is responsive, character classes have distinct loadouts (Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Recon), and the Alien universe theming gives it more flavor than most procedural shooters. The problem is that the loop wears thin fast. Missions repeat, the narrative never materializes beyond "contain the threat," and endgame becomes pure spreadsheet min-maxing with diminishing returns. If you want a weekend co-op romp with friends, it delivers solid moment-to-moment fun. If you're after the narrative depth or build complexity RPG fans crave, you'll bounce off long before the grind becomes tolerable. It's a decent rental, not a keeper.
