The genre is the same as Alien Shooter’s, and with it dark, oppressive atmosphere, procedural generation and melee combat. To that it adds an isometric view and single-player focus. They part company on combat and tone: this one brings punishing difficulty.

Released 16 years after Alien Shooter.

Same family as Alien Shooter: strong narrative focus, melee combat and a sci-fi setting. The common ground extends to single-player focus and a top-down view. Where the two diverge is setting and combat: punishing difficulty and a cyberpunk setting.

Released 13 years after Alien Shooter.

Genre puts it alongside Alien Shooter, and so does dark, oppressive atmosphere, procedural generation and melee combat. Both also lean on single-player focus. The distance is in setting and visuals — its own ground is punishing difficulty and tactical combat.

On paper it is what Alien Shooter is — dark, oppressive atmosphere, melee combat and horror setting — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. To that it adds single-player focus. They part company on visuals and game mode: this one brings multiplayer gameplay and 2D presentation.
