Aliens: Infestation

Description

"Aliens: Infestation," released in 2011, is a side-scrolling action game developed by WayForward Technologies with Gearbox Software and published by Sega for the Nintendo DS. Comic artist Chris Bachalo designed the characters and drew the cover. The game began as a DS version of "Aliens: Colonial Marines" and became a separate story.

After the events of "Alien 3," the USS Sephora finds the Sulaco drifting in space. The Marines sent aboard run into U.P.P. soldiers and a Xenomorph hive. The trail leads them down to LV-426, where the U.P.P. is harvesting Aliens, and later to a Weyland-Yutani lab on Phobos.

The player leads a squad of four Marines drawn from about twenty characters. A Marine who dies is gone for good, and survivors found along the way can take the empty place.
