Alien Shooter casts the player as humanity’s last defense against an invasion inside a military complex. The objective is to clear its offices, storehouses and laboratories, then stop the creatures from escaping their staging area. That grim setting frames a direct action premise: push through the base and confront the alien presence at its source.
Combat is built around a changing arsenal and practical support. Explosives help open access to the teleports, a stationary gun can defend an area, and the arming facility lets players spend their pay on weapons and biomechanical implants. Flashlights, medkits and battle drones add further tools, while reactive music is designed to drive the action. The game also describes crowded encounters, with as many as 100 monsters appearing on a screen at once.
Its format combines ten missions with a survival mode, alongside character upgrades and a choice of male or female character.
