Horde Mode Mod Has Been Created For ‘Half-Life: Alyx’
Half-Life: Alyx is great and all, but it’s missing something. Lucky for us, a modder by the name of Manello has created a XenThug, a mode that adds that special something in the form of a Horde Mode.
The idea is pretty self-explanatory: Waves of enemies approach you, and you shoot them. Every downed enemy drops a bit of currency, which you can spend between rounds on ammo, health, and the like. Once the waves of enemies have been exhausted, the cycle begins again with the first wave. Only this time, the enemies have double the HP.
According to Manello, if the mod proves popular, they’ll add new maps to the mod. You can download XenThug from its Steam Community page.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
