Alien Shooter 2 brought a lot of changes to the series. They give more mercenaries to choose from - 8 people. They themselves acquired names, biographies and unique skills, such as vampirism and regeneration. There was an opportunity to shoot and crush monsters on transport. The plot became clearer. The hero is now often accompanied by paratroopers.
The story tells about the unsuccessful experiments of the corporation M. A. G. M. A. She sends fighters to secret laboratories. They need to deal with the hordes of creatures and get important information. The narrative contains scenes with dialogues and friendly NPCs. The number and variety of opponents has also increased. Along with this, the amount of dismemberment and blood increased.
Alien Shooter 2 has a rich arsenal of weapons. There are 13 types of pistols, 7 shotguns, 15 assault rifles and machine guns, 10 grenade launchers and rocket launchers, 11 energy guns, including beam, ion and laser. Among them, there is even an enemy reducer and an atomizer. Weapons and armor can be bought and sold in the shop.
In addition to the campaign, which consists of 15 missions and two endings, there is a Slaughter mode. He migrated to the sequel from the original. There is also multiplayer with the possibility of co-op and PvP. In the story passage, the standard shooting of monsters is diluted with car trips across large maps and holding back waves of enemies from a machine gun nest with endless ammo.
The developers have added RPG elements. For the destruction of enemies and the completion of quests, the character gains experience. After collecting the required number of points, he is given a new level. You can pump strength, health, intelligence and other parameters. For example: the skill of owning a specific type of trunks. With the growth of the level, the protagonist begins to mow down adversaries more efficiently and move faster.
