SheвЂ™s been able to survive this far by patching into security systems with a rudimentary, handheld terminal.ДЄnd hereвЂ™s the first stroke of genius in Blackout: because we play entirely from a first-person perspective, and interact with our environment almost entirely through this terminal-which exists in real game space, and can be put down and picked up-our mobile devices start feeling like the terminal itself. SheвЂ™s hiding, of course, because sheвЂ™s not entirely alone: thereвЂ™s a xenomorph on board. Having survived the nightmare aboard the Sevastopol, Amanda has been hiding in the vent systems of the abandoned Mendel space station (a Weyland-Yutani vessel). In Blackout, as in Isolation, you play the role of Amanda Ripley.

Getting the obvious out of the way-itвЂ™s cheaper to develop a mobile game, and Fox is already deep into production on the Cold Iron Studios shooter coming later this year to PC and consoles-there are actual storytelling reasons for this being a mobile experience. I, too, desperately wished for a sequel to Alien: Isolation, which is not only the best Alien game ever made but one of the great survival horror experiences of our era.ДЄnd I, too, felt my stomach sink when the new Amanda Ripley game Fox had been teasing turned out to be a mobile experience looking for all the world like a Five Nights at FreddyвЂ™s clone.Д«ut you know what? IвЂ™ve been playing Alien: Blackout in beta for nearly two weeks, and I want to go ahead and give you the bottom line right up front: it is available today for purchase on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore, and we wholeheartedly recommend you buy it. I, too, boycotted Star Wars Battlefront II because the loot crate system was so clearly a cash grab. I, too, cringed during the BlizzCon announcement about Diablo Immortal.

And anyone even tangentially familiar with the gaming industry over the past few years could understand why: weвЂ™ve been told time and again that the future of gaming is mobile, and anyone whoвЂ™s tried to play anything remotely вЂњseriousвЂќ on a mobile phone can tell you itвЂ™s almost always an awful experience. When Alien: Blackout was announced just days into 2019, it was met with a hurricane of bad publicity.
