Alien Outpost

In Brief

This is the 31st game we've been given since August last year that was created by Jurij and distributed by Falcoware.

The game uses the Unity engine and is a first person action game based in an alien outpost. You only get a knife and 10 grenades to start. Use your left mouse button to stab the enemy or use G to throw a grenade. I couldn’t find any extra grenades. You can still pick up ammunition, but weapons dropped by those you kill you cannot pick up. There appears to be no weapons apart from the knife and grenades you get. If you are hit by enemy fire your health does regenerate constantly until it’s back to the maximum of 100.

Game play is similar to most of Jurij's previous giveaways, where you explore and attempt to survive a single arena, and where you are attacked constantly. it's relatively easy to survive, partly because the AI is pretty dumb; you can for example walk right up to some enemies and they don't start to shoot right away. I encountered a group of six enemy all clustered together in one of the alien buildings and was able to stab every one of them without getting hit once. As with most of this type of game, it can become rather tedious quickly so I would recommend only playing it fr short periods.

You can adjust the quality of the graphics from low, medium and high. It’s mainly down to shadows and shading; the higher the quality, the more shading and shadows.

If you don't have many FPS/zombie games and/or you missed the first one last week, it's probably worth downloading, but don't expect Battlefield/Call of Duty graphics.

Today is the last chance to grab a free copy of the latest free games from Epic Games; i.e. the excellent Lovecraftian Steam punk roguelike and atmospheric top down RPG Sunless Sea; i.e. Take the helm of your steamship and set sail for the unknown! Sunless Sea is a game of discovery, loneliness and frequent death, set in the award-winning Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London, with 84% of over 6000 community reviews giving it a positive thumbs up. Definitely a game worth having, especially if you like any of the descriptive words I've used to describe this game, and, more importantly for free; usually costs £13.99. There is a dlc for the game available called Zubmariner, which isn't free (I think)? From 4p.m. today the free game changes to the excellent RTS game Wargame: Red Dragon

Please see Delenn's threads for Steam and Non Steam freebies HERE and HERE respectively. It’s worth adding these to your favourites and checking regularly for available freebies. Most are only free for a specific time. If you miss the deadline you’ll miss out. Once added to your account, it’s yours to keep.

Notes on Security

I've installed the game and carried out a security check. Virus Total gives it a clean bill of health from 57 different search engines. You can see the result via the link below:
