Developed by WayForward Technologies and published by Sega, Aliens Infestation arrived on the Nintendo DS in 2011 as an action-adventure game. It blends action-adventure and horror elements.

It landed about 7 years into the DS's life. Other notable DS releases from 2011 include Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit, Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Defiance.

It is part of the Alien series. The series also appears on other systems with Alien vs Predator (Jaguar) and Alien (2600). WayForward Technologies also made Contra 4, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!! and Batman: The Brave and the Bold – The Videogame for the DS.

Aliens Infestation is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Aliens Infestation is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
