What Alien: Isolation is and who it suits
Alien: Isolation is a survival horror game set fifteen years after Ellen Ripley vanished. Its player character is her daughter, Amanda Ripley, who goes aboard the Sevastopol space station after the flight recorder from her mother's ship turns up. The game is rated 18+.
The listing says it is an Android version of the game originally made by The Creative Assembly, and that it draws on the atmosphere, art direction and production values of the 1979 film Alien. It suits players who want that film's tension in a survival horror game they can play on an Android device.
Evading the Alien on Sevastopol station
The station is a maze, and the Alien hunts you through it. You avoid it by moving carefully and using the environment, which the listing says includes crawling through ventilation ducts and hiding in the shadows.
You start out unprepared and underequipped, so the game leans on planning and timing rather than fighting back. The listing describes the Alien as the ultimate threat you are trying to get away from.
Scavenging and crafting improvised tools
Across the station you search for hidden resources. You use what you find to craft items and tech.
The crafted items are improvised weapons and deterrents, which the listing presents as the only way to push back against the Alien.
Touchscreen, gamepad and keyboard controls
The game uses a redesigned interface built for touchscreens. You can resize and reposition on-screen buttons and joysticks to suit how you hold your device.
If you prefer hardware, the listing says you can play with a gamepad or with any Android-compatible mouse and keyboard.
Free missions, the full game and its DLC
Missions 1 and 2 are free to play. Unlocking the complete game and all DLC requires a single in-app purchase.
The complete collection includes seven DLCs. One of them, 'Last Survivor', recreates Ellen Ripley's final mission aboard the Nostromo.
