Isometric third person shooters were once as ubiquitous as FPS titles are today, being made for a wide variety of systems over the years with varying degrees of success. Many of these games are still played by rabid fans and those who prefer the simpler style of retro games. One title you’ll see on every abandonware site under the sun is Alien Breed and its two sequels.
It was originally released on the Amiga and was a big hit for developer Team17, drawing on inspiration from the Alien films and games like Gauntlet. It’s been a bit over twelve years since the last title was released, though several new projects have been started and then shelved since. The newest title, Alien Breed Evolution is aptly named as it’s a huge leap forward for the series in terms of graphics. The last title in the franchise was released when a 66 MHz processor was top of the line, while this title will be utilizing the Unreal3 engine.
Release dates and platforms are forthcoming, but since it’s a downloadable title being made by an independent company I’d certainly imagine it’ll be released for both the Xbox 360 and PS3.
