Switch 2 Version of ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One: Evolved Edition’ Now Available [Trailer]
After launching on PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Survios finally got around to giving Nintendo fans some love with the Switch 2 release of Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One: Evolved Edition. Not only that, but Survios will also be giving PlayStation 4 fans the same love down the road with an eventual release.
New to the Switch 2 edition of Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One: Evolved Edition is the optimized functionality of the console’s mouse controls. When a Joy-Con is detached and placed on a surface, the game instantly switches to precision mouse aiming with no settings changes required, giving players more accurate controls and better aim.
Originally released as a VR game for the PlayStation VR 2 and SteamVR, in Alien: Rogue Incursion – Part One, players step into the boots of rogue Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks in the first chapter of an original two-part saga set between the Alien and Aliens films. While investigating a distress call on the remote planet Purdan, Zula uncovers a secret Gemini Exoplanet Solutions blacksite facility overrun by Xenomorphs. Aided by her synthetic companion, Davis 01, Zula must fight to survive against the ferocious and unpredictable threat of the Xenomorph incursion.
Off Black Creations and Oro Interactive’s subterranean psychological horror title MOLE is out now on Steam, complete with the previously-advertised 10% discount that’s on until June 29.
“Thank you to everyone who played the demo, playtested, and motivated us through this journey,” reads the update from the devteam. “We are incredibly excited for you check it out.”
Drawing on themes of religion, madness, and guilt, MOLE takes place in the eponymous colossal drilling machine deep beneath post-war Slavic soil, where you are the Navigator. Unfortunately, the crew is gone, the vessel is silent, and the Signal won’t stop calling. Your objective is simple: Keep the machine running at all costs.
Players are expected to figure out the machine’s failing systems and do their best to survive what might end up being their casket. No need to worry too much, as operating and maintaining the Mole’s complex systems is done through hands-on interaction. You’ll solve problems using in-world tools, interfaces, and machinery.
Of course, you’ll also need to survive the depths of the Earth as isolation and madness blur your reality. Along your journey, you’ll uncover fragments of your past as memories resurface and decisions echo back, along with the mystery behind your missing crew.
If you’re on the fence about MOLE, and didn’t get the chance to check out the demo prior to its release, Aaron reviewed the game prior to launch, touting it as a “great psychological horror game” for fans of Iron Lung and MOUTHWASHING.
