Alien: Blackout review — This is how you do a mobile spinoff

A couple weeks ago, a pre-launch build of Alien Blackout taught me a lesson: Don’t assume a mobile port of a popular game series automatically equals low quality.

Alien: Blackout is now officially available on Android and Apple app stores. That means it’s time for developers Rival Games/Theory Interactive, along with publisher D3 Go!, to not just teach the game-playing public that same lesson, but to also give the industry as a whole a creative benchmark to reach for.
