Aliens: Fireteam Elite is an third-person shooting game developed and published by Cold Iron Studios. Although this game is a part of the Alien franchise, it focuses on action instead of horror. There are still horror elements present, but constant hordes of enemies don’t leave much room for suspense.
That’s not to say Fireteam Elite is a bad game; far from it. It is highly engaging and intense, has great music, and features an interesting story campaign. It is intended to be played cooperatively, in teams of three, and, as such, can be really fun to play with friends. Those that prefer a singleplayer experience can choose to play with two AI companions instead.
The game features seven different classes designed to complement one another. The customization, however, doesn’t end there. Each class has many different weapons and perks available for selection. Not all of them are available at the start; many need to be unlocked through gameplay. This provides a sense of progression between games.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite is available on PS4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, and also on Microsoft Windows. Officially, OS X is not supported, but it’s still possible to play Aliens: Fireteam Elite on Mac. Read the article below to learn how.
