Isometric, real time, single player, alien-like monster shooter, 1990-2005
When did you play the game?
- I guess between 1990-2005. I am not sure. What computer did it run on? - i386 or i486 PC or some similar build. Also not sure. What operating system did the computer run? - Sadly also not sure. Windows 98 or Windows XP or DOS. What were the graphics like? - Probably around 256 color. 2D objects, characters with 2D background. - Can’t recall any videos or cut scenes. What was the music like? - I can’t recall. Were there speech? - I can’t recall. What was the gameplay like? - Single player, Real time, Alien-like monster shooter. Which perspective were you given there? - Isometric, Top-down, Third Person. So it was an isometric top-down third person single player alien-like monster shooter with some sci-fi or industrial setting. I pretty sure it was not a turn based game. I think the camera was centered on the player and moved along with it. I remember I could… I think somehow acquire and equip better equipment and weaponry during the game so maybe has some RPG elements, there were some alien eggs or cocoons too, flamethrower maybe… I cannot recall any sound, music, speech or video cut scenes. Probably it was just some demo. It is possible even that it was a port from a different platform but I don’t think so. Maybe a flash game… I don’t know. Heck, I can’t even recall the language of the game. But I know which games it was not.: It wasn’t Fallout, X-COM, Alien Shooter, Postal, Alien Breed 92 Any clues? Thank you guys for the help in advance. |
Well, you said it's not XCOM but maybe XCOM: Apocalypse (aka XCOM3)? It has both turn based and real time modes.
Or maybe Incubation? |

It was Isometric 2D. No 3D elements. And it was only one controlled humanoid character. No multiple characters or teams, at least in this demo I played, I guess. Graphically the most similar games I found are for example Antraxx, Alien Shooter but greyer, less colorful and more claustrophobic. Like Diablo. As I remember had dark/unlit areas until you closed-in, or some FOW. Ou, and it wasn’t Diablo, Antraxx or Spellcross either. |
Also it wasn’t Alien Earth (1998) or Crusader: No Remorse (1995)… but Crusader: No Remorse looks/feels a little similar to it… but with monsters… and different play style/control.

I FOUND IT!
It is the Cybermercs: The Soldiers of the 22nd Century (1998) A sci-fi Diablo clone, a pretty underrated one as I see. Sadly, it seems to be an abandonware. Anyway, thanks for the help. |
