And that's not getting into the kaiju-sized Flying Xenomorph Queen. Giant Flyer: Winged alien drones are at least three times larger than humans, and you'll be battling entire swarms of them in the later levels.And there's nothing your character can do about it, except buy enough time for survivors to evacuate and leave the Earth's orbit. The End of the World as We Know It: Basically the fate of Earth, after the alien outbreak spreads out of control.Also applies to the fast-moving Hexapedal Xenomorphs. Elite Mooks: Brown Alien drones are stronger and deals greater damage than the common black drones.Downer Ending: In the worst ending, though? Failing to stop the Giant Flying Queen from damaging the evacuation shuttle, causing it to explode and killing hundreds and hundreds of citizens, leading to a screen with a neon-red YOU HAVE FAILED message before the end credits start rolling.Fortunately, getting hit by this deals extremely weak damage, and shooting her head down will put her down for good. and then the Queen rises up from the evacuation shuttle's pit to perform a Last Ditch Move. It seems that the player has accomplished their mission. Don't Celebrate Just Yet: Once the evacuation shuttle is protected from the flying Xenomorph Queen, it takes off and its exhaust incinerates her.You then escape with the rest of the city in another shuttle bound to leave earth, just as thousands of alien drones overruns the city and then the game ends.

Bittersweet Ending: Let's just say none of the game's endings involve reclaiming earth from the alien outbreak in the best ending, you manage to destroy the Winged Alien Queen and allow the main evacuation shuttle to take off, saving hundreds of citizens.Battle in the Rain: At least three of the levels have the players battling alien hordes while in the middle of heavy rain.but when she attempts this same attack again, you only have to shoot down three. Anti-Frustration Feature: If you fail to stop the flying Xenomorph Queen's penultimate attack (which requires shooting down five spread-out weakpoints in an extremely tight time limit) and the shuttle gets destroyed, you fail the mission and have to go through most of the level again.Airborne Mooks: The flying facehuggers and winged drones make a comeback in this game, with the skies alive with these abominations.
