A lot of avid gamers I think already know the popular Alien Swarm shooter shooter game. It is a video game born on the basis of Unreal Tournament 2004, by the same game developers as Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 (free) of Valve.
Valve recently released a remake of Alien Swarm that can be played for free on Windows PCs .
This gift should not be underestimated because this time we are faced with a beautiful, absolutely level game, developed by professionals, with curated 3D graphics, action on the verge of realism, which has nothing to envy to the noble games that are bought in the shops of videogames.
There is not even the typical online store with upgrades to be added for a fee, which distinguishes the main free titles of multiplayer games.
The game is a team-based tactical shooter, from epileptic syndrome, where you lead a marine who has to kill all the aliens around.
There aren't many stories, the whole tactical strategy is aimed at beating enemies and killing them all.
The game takes place in more or less different missions but all with the same goal of killing all the aliens who become increasingly aggressive.
The game focuses on adrenaline, with violent enemies hidden around every corner and attacking en masse without ever stopping.
Alien Swarm offers two game modes including an offline one for training and the real game that takes place online and where you can organize yourself in a team of four players to face the alien hordes.
There are 4 difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard and Insane, you can use over 40 different weapons and many objects can be unlocked to increase your firepower.
Alien Swarm's view is said to be isometric which in practice is a top view with a diagonal perspective .
The fighter moves with the keyboard arrows and shoots with the mouse.
You can choose 4 types of soldiers, the officer, the doctor, the special weapons expert and the technician.
In the most difficult missions it takes a good cooperation between the 4 players and a strategy of choosing weapons and accessories, adapted to the needs.
The beauty of Alien Swarm is that you can play easy games but also impossible challenges that will require a determined commitment.
Alien Swarm also offers the possibility of creating additional levels to play so it is to be expected that new missions will be available for download.
In conclusion, this is by far one of the best games ever, even considering the non-free ones.
Not only to try because it is free but it is absolutely to play to the end because it is fun, fast, engaging and adrenaline at the right point.
Difficult, these days, that free video games come out so beautiful and, I can say, Alien Swarm goes straight to the first place in the list of the best free shooter games.
You can download Alien Swarm in a normal version and then also install the 2017 Alien Swarm Reactive Drop expansion, which renews this old game in a very special way.
