Alien Swarm: Infested

See the squad combat game that Source built!

by Steve Butts

April 29, 2005 - We just got word today that the fine folks at Black Cat Games are hard at work on a brand new game built on Valve's Source engine. The new title is called Alien Swarm: Infested. The new game features "a unique blend of co-op play and squad level tactics all in an overhead view." Players will take on the mantle of a commander in the Interstellar Armed Forces, leading their squads through a variety of missions, battling the swarm infestation throughout the colonized galaxy.

Owners of Half-Life 2 will be able to download the game for free. A separate commercial version, complete with extra missions, characters and equipment, can be purchased as well.

Be sure to check out the impressive screenshots in our media section and head over to the game's official website for more info.

Screens look pretty decent. I'll play this one.

I didn't like it

Would be cool if it was being played from first person perspective, but from top view...I don't know...

alien swarm is awesome for UT2004. We used to play it alot, its a little like the game "Commandos" where every person in the squad is vital for your success. It had a great slow-mo feature called adrenaline that was really helpful in those "holy sh@t, we're screwed swarms" For a squad based mod, it was very well done

gameplay like Canon Fodder?
