Alien Breed 3: Descent

Alien Breed 3: Descent is the final chapter in the Alien Breed series, a science-fiction arcade shooter in which Chief Engineer Conrad makes his last stand against the alien horde. As the doomed ship Leopold and an alien spacecraft plunge into the planet’s atmosphere, the freezing ocean threatens to become their watery grave. You have only hours to survive the attacks and descend through the sinking alien ship, whose corridors are filling with water, while uncovering the truth about the Breed.

Story and combat

The single-player campaign concludes the story across large, challenging environments, including a research lab. You fight through flooded levels and sections outside the ship’s hull, and take control of Conrad in new third-person action sections. The game also introduces the Electro-shocker and final bosses.

You can search fallen comrades and lockers for cash, then spend it in the in-game shop on tactical weapon and kit upgrades. New weapons include the Project X, which vaporizes everything it hits, and the Electro-Link gun, which fires electricity and chains lightning to nearby enemies.
