GAME SUMMARY

Alien Nations

Rating: 2.7 (33 votes cast)

Three interplanetary storks are travelling through space with the seed of life. Their objective is to reach three far-away, uninhabited planets on the edge of the universe. Flying over the planet Lukkat, one of the storks has an idea: "Listen," he says, "why don't we drop of our cargo here and then go for a drink?" - "But what if the Creator notices?" - "He'll never know"- "Don't tell me you are too scared!". Plop, and the first load falls towards the planet, followed by the other two. The storks then fly off to the inter-galactic bar. The three very different life forms they have left behind will now have to come to terms with each other on a planet they don't know and for which there were never destined...

Alien Nations review

By Drackthar posted 23rd September 2011

I thought this game was great. It's a lot like settlers but just made by different people (the old settlers, which personally I liked more). You build up a town and get more citizens. They can be trained to be lumberjacks, stonecutters, etc. It really did feel like a settlers game. I had a few gripes with it and that is that you couldn't change the game speed; it felt really slow at times and I found myself just wanting to make it go a little bit faster. Also the combat in the game was a little iffy. When I ordered a soldier to attack something it would walk over to it and stand there for a while. I feel like games like this and settlers aren't really focused on combat though and I always play them as just a settlement sim of sorts. Other than that I liked the game and would recommend it for people who also liked settlers.

A fun game, it could be considered a forerunner to the AOE series in concept. Controls take a little figuring out but the game is simple and fun to play.

Graphics are a little out of date (designed for Win98) but still look alright on the modern PC. It does run on Windows 7 and does so smoothly.

The missions are good and have a nice learning curve. With a variety of objectives to complete. Overall a fun little game to play.

A cute little simulation game. Simple controls and nice graphics make this suitable for beginners, but fun and entertaining for all.
