Play OverviewPlay Overview

Aliens: Fireteam Elite (2021) is a cooperative shooting game set 23 years after the original films. Unlike the stealthy Alien: Isolation, Fireteam Elite draws on Aliens: Colonial Marines' breathless shooting and racing pulse.

Play involves creating your character and then teaming up with two other people to take on the horror-survival missions. If you don't want to play with other people (friends or strangers) you can opt for two computer-controlled partners instead.

You can choose between five types of characters (Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Doc, and Recon) and need to play each differently if your team is going to survive. Together you work through four campaigns with three missions each. As you progress things get more difficult with friendly fire, more classes of aliens and larger levels. Between missions, you can customise and progress your character.

If you want some more reading on the game you can read Aliens: Infiltrator by Weston Ochse, which tells the backstory of the events that lead up to the game.

Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 years ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 13 months ago.

Content Rating

Rated PEGI 16 because it features strong violence and use of strong language. This game features strong violence between human and alien characters. When aliens are shot, they ooze greenish blood before falling to the floor. When humans are attacked by the aliens' claws, there are copious blood effects. When humans die, they slump to the ground. The game also includes use of strong language ('*!@?*'), as well as milder language such as '*!@?*', '*!@?*' and 'goddamn'.
