Aliens: Infestation is a 2011 side-scrolling Metroidvania game set in the Alien universe, developed by WayForward Technologies (of Contra 4 and Shantae fame) in collaboration with Gearbox Software for the Nintendo DS.18 weeks after the Colonial Marines sent a distress call for backup in Aliens, a backup team from the U.S.S. Sephora arrives near LV-426 and finds the Sulaco adrift in space. A group of soldiers, including Captain John "Duke" Cameron, Private Brock "Bear" Paulson, Private Buddy "Brando" Whistler and Lance Corporal Samantha "Homewrecker" Johnston are dispatched to the derelict ship, where they discover that a group called the Union of Progressive Peoples (UPP) have boarded the ship and are attempting to harness xenomorphs, who are subsequently attacking them. After the Marines deal with the UPP soldiers aboard the ship, they travel down to the surface of LV-426 and discover a xenomorph hive, as well as several friendly Marines trapped in desperate circumstances. It's up to the core group to rescue their fellow soldiers and destroy the alien presence on the planet once and for all...The game originally began life as a handheld port of Aliens: Colonial Marines for the Nintendo DS, but was subsequently changed into a standalone product due to the latter title's Troubled Production. It bridges the plot between Aliens and Alien³, as well as incorporating story ideas from William Gibson's unproduced script for the third film (namely, the Union of Progressive Peoples).Most of the tropes applicable to the Alien franchise in general, as well as Aliens specifically, also apply here, for obvious reasons. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: The team roster is actually an interesting take on the multiple-1up system. Because every one of your "1up"s has a name, a face, unique animations and unique responses for every single situation in the game, it feels like a combination of Anyone Can Die and Video-Game Lives. The game keeps score of how many Marines you've lost this way. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change: The Zero-G section. Complicated jumps, with several sequences of one Leap of Faith after another, all the while fending off xenomorphs...and in a game that doesn't let you move the camera. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Inherited from the parent title. The traditional inconsistency of the alien gestation cycles is still here — the Marines have been on the Sulaco for a matter of hours by the time the first of them get chestbursted, and the replenishment drones that appear on the Sulaco after the Corporation ferries some eggs from the planet onboard mature surprisingly quickly. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_525df529 | comment |
Not Using the "Z" Word: When the Marines inevitably go up against Weyland-Yutani interests, the techies across the Sulaco start implementing this trope. They lurch, they move slowly, they lunge... and nobody comments on that. All the new sorts of xenomorphs get discussed at great lengths, but not the implications of gunning down what earlier seemed to be normal humans. Their white blood and dialogue from Davis before you first fight them does indicate they're Synthetics who've been given an override command. | |

Air-Vent Passageway | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_5b19cc1b | comment |
Air-Vent Passageway: Used prominently across all the levels. Expected of LV-426, as the movie has shown that the colony had these in spades, but somewhat unexpected on the Sulaco, where space was supposed to be an issue preventing fitting in air vent spaces you can hide a building in. | |

Save-Game Limits | |

Save-Game Limits: One save per cartridge, saving only in specially allowed save rooms. In other words, par for the course of Metroidvanias everywhere (aside from the one-save-slot limit). The traditional MST3K Mantra of Metroidvanias about replenishing health and ammo when entering one is done via a Hand Wave about how they are combined Communication (for "logging your progress") and Supply (for stocking up on ammo and switching weapons) rooms. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_9c7e3137 | comment |
Hyperspace Arsenal: Partially averted. You can only carry one big gun with you, and a set amount of ammo for it (expandable for some guns via upgrades). The rest of your kit is mostly realistic - a sidearm, flares, grenades, detpacks, motion sensor note (not just "like" in the movies, as it's either the tracker that belonged to Hicks, or the same model, as your Marines get it on the Sulaco) and whatever Lock and Key Puzzle components you have amassed. At the beginning of the game it feels like a set of things a man (or woman) can realistically carry on their person, but once you add a pipe wrench, a blowtorch, six grenades (plus 10 underslung grenade launcher grenades for the pulse rifle) and four detpacks, it starts to stretch the imagination a bit. We can safely assume that keycards, keys and the flashlight do not take up significant space, but the air tank for the Zero-G suit sure as hell does. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Numerous, seeing as how you revisit most of the first two movies' locations. Most of the battlecries (said when you pick up weapons and weapon upgrades) of the Marines are quotes from the movies or riffs on them. When deploying on LV-426, you can see the leftovers of the movies' action. Less so on the Sulaco, but you do visit a few iconic locations there as well. Activities, such as driving a power loader. Or dumping a Queen out of an airlock in a boss battle. Ever wanted to see what a Monkey-grown Xenomorph would look like? What about a Space Jockey one? The battle robots bleed white, something to be expected in the movies' universe. Various bits of William Gibson's unused Alien³ script are integrated into the story, such as the Union of Progressive People taking the Sulaco over, and becoming fodder for a new wave of xenos, providing variety to the opposition encountered by the Marines. The Knife Trick mini-game. Guess what it's about? The end credits feature the title theme of Aliens... And an Expository Theme Tune called "LV-426", mostly made up of quotes from the movie. | |

Series Continuity Error: Hadley's Hope looks suspiciously intact, considering the protagonists of Aliens were abandoning it to avoid a nuclear blast - 16 days prior to the game's events! The research base on Phobos seems to possess xenomorphs unrealistically early, considering LV-426 was the first major run-in the Weyland-Yutani Corporation had with the xenos, and our Marines are the first on the scene besides the UPP, which didn't manage to get anything out because most of them got eaten or chestbursted or both. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Used to great effect on several occasions, including checking on dark areas. Pretty much a given for an Alien game. Steele will inform the player that the marine can't move on unless a light source can be found. | |

Ludicrous Gibs | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_db33bc7e | comment |
Ludicrous Gibs: Killing a xenomorph causes it to burst in a welter of acid gore and spray guts everywhere. If you killed it with an explosive, those guts are also on fire. Facehuggers are completely pasted; they dissapear like snow against a high wind when shot enough. | |

Cat Scare | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_dda12cb3 | comment |
Cat Scare: Multiple uses, including several featuring actual cats. Which is funny, considering that there were no cats in the movie besides Jonesy, who got left at Gateway Station. | |

Expy | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Pretty much every Marine is an Expy of either an Aliens character or a Space Marine from some other franchise. Henick looks and acts like an expy of Hicks. Johnston acts a lot like Vasquez. Heston looks suspiciously like the Doom guy. Or Wolverine, your pick. | |

Press X to Not Die: When a facehugger or a full-grown drone will grapple you, you have to indulge in this to survive. | |

Throw Down the Bomblet: Averted, using explosives at close range is a good way to lose a marine. | |

Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong: Facehuggers will try to do this to you, resulting in Press X to Not Die. You also see the occasional aftermath of these, both in-progress and already finished. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: While safety in numbers would be a sensible solution to fighting off the Aliens, only one Marine is playable at a time, and there can be no more than four Marines in your squad; trying to recruit a fifth Marine will have them refuse. Sometimes their reasons are understandable (usually "looking for their former comrades"), other times... not. | |

Ceiling Cling: The xenomorphs have no reservations about attacking from above. For some reason, this makes them more resistant to the flamer. | |

Video-Game Lives | |
| Aliens: Infestation (Video Game) / int_fb09db1f | comment |
Video-Game Lives: See Anyone Can Die above. A slightly bizarre implementation, where your team members all have the same gameplay abilities, only partake in the action one at a time (despite moving as a unit, the game Hand Waves this as one Marine running point), and get Killed Off for Real if you lose them, in-universe. The game keeps track of who you met, who you recruited and who got killed in the Extras section. | |

Lock and Key Puzzle: Blowtorches for unblocking (or re-blocking) doors, pipe wrenches for shutting off steam, keys for the Power Loader to smash crates and barricades, detpacks to blow up other barricades... All par for the course when you're playing a Metroidvania. | |
