Alien: Rogue Incursion was another step into immersive horror with VR, taking players into the detailed and thrilling world of the Alien franchise. It wasn't a perfect implementation, but it wasn't bad either. Eric gave it a solid 7 in his review. This week, Survios released a version of the game free of the need of a VR headset (or VR motion sickness amirite?) with Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition. It's the same game, but designed for controllers or mouse and keyboard over regular old nothing-broken-don't-fix-it televisions and monitors.
The game is billed as a "cinematic action-horror experience," meaning it intends to tell a coherent story but is likely going to top out at 5-7 hours of unpadded playtime. The game understands what it is and lands at a $30 price point to match its ambition. This version has upped its visuals to land on the big screen with 60 FPS, 3D audio, and DualSense controller integration for those on Sony's platforms. The idea here is for a sprint, not a marathon, that delivers on a promise of a straightforward narrative sprinkling action and terror in equal parts.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is available now for PS5 and PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, or PC via Steam or the Epic Games Store.
