Reviews and ratings

Alien Swarm is an awesome free shooter from Valve. I really liked it. I wish I didn't like it... it's a freebie)) But seriously, the game is really interesting. Of course, it’s in English and you don’t understand what the plot is about, but that’s not the main thing here. The main thing is that the shooter turned out to be very atmospheric. I would like to note that it is online, and it is a pleasure to play it with friends, it’s a pity that there are few cards, although they (the cards) can be found among outsiders.

PROS:

- the graphics in the game are great. Explosions, shootouts, textures of heroes and monsters are great.

- decent game dynamics will not let you get bored.

is a great shooter for playing online with friends, it’s a pity it’s only for one evening.

- rich combat arsenal and set … Read full

Alien Swarm — афигенный бесплатный шутер от компании Valve. Мне очень понравился. Еще бы он мне не понравился ... халявный жеж)) Ну а если серьезно, игра реально интересная. Она конечно на английском языке и не понимаешь о чем сюжет, но это тут не главное. Главное что шутер получился весьма атмосферный. Хочется отметить то что он сетевой, и поиграть в него с друзьями одно удовольствие, жаль карт мало, хотя их (карты) можно найти у стронних любителей.

ПЛЮСЫ:

- графика в игре на ура. Взрывы, перестрелки, текстурки героев и монстров на ура.

- достойная игровая динамика не даст заскучать.

- отличный шутер для сетевой игры с друзьями, жаль только на один вечер.

- богатый боевой арсенал и набор гаджетов

МИНУСЫ:

- мало карт — разработчики пожадничали… Read full
