About the game

What you do in a play session

Ready to face the nightmare? In Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps!, you and your squad of Colonial Marines dive into the dreaded Hadley's Hope to rescue survivors and find out what happened. There's just one catch: you're not alone. To get out alive, teamwork is key! Keep your cool, shoot everything that moves, and fight off relentless Xenomorph hordes. The game features six different missions, taking you from the terraforming facility to the darkest corners of the alien nest. Want more? Four of these missions can be linked into a nail-biting campaign mode, where every step is a fight for survival until the very end. The other two are pure adrenaline: it's kill or be killed. Starting with just a pistol, your mission is to scavenge for weapons and gear while the monsters come at you. Can you handle the pressure? This cooperative game with miniatures and dice rolling is pure tension and action, perfect for fans of the movie universe who want to feel the drama firsthand. Prepare your pulse rifles and good luck!
