The Verdict
based on 19 reviews
“This is a First Rate game, and in my mind, an essential purchase. There are other similar and more complex alien hunter games out there, such as the Nemesis games, but this is different enough and casual enough that it's worth having both.”(6:44)
“Very awesome game. I have many personal favorites between PC and board games, but this one charms me especially. I don't know why, maybe it's because of that iconic movie, maybe because I love dungeon crawling games and games alike. I really don't know, anyway.”(20:17)
“This game is super cool, I'm actually pretty excited at how fast this game moves, I love the action phase is super fast.”(43:23)
“I am not a big fan of this game. I love the franchise and the look/quality of Alien Fate of the Nostromo is actually passable. But the game itself is absolutely horrifying to play.”
“Overall, however, this medium-sized box presents a lot of value at $29.99. Its quick playtime makes it an easy inclusion at your next board game night. It's also surprisingly good as a solo experience.”
“All told, Fate of the Nostromo is a straightforward, entertaining co-op sci-fi thriller with enough replayability to make the price of entry easier to swallow than an egg from a facehugger.”
“When played with a full crew, Alien: Fate of the Nostromo is a tense co-op gauntlet that'll delight horror fans.”
“Alien is one of my all-time favorite movies, so with that bias firmly out there, this is an excellent Alien game.”(2:43)
“It's a really good co-operative puzzle that is different every time. It'll keep you entertained for a fair amount of time and is the sort of game you will want to keep in your collection and get out ever so often.”
“I really like this. It has a rule book which is a complete mess, some of the components are a bit fiddly to use, the concealed tokens have to be constantly shuffled.”(34:23)
“Alien: Fate of the Nostromo, however, is a lighter, more accessible family game - and this one's official - so at last you can play as Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and co.”
“Die-hard fans of the film might not appreciate its family-friendly thematic concessions, but it is a challenging co-op game that is likely to see players demanding a replay after each defeat.”
