I love everything to do with the film Aliens, so a roguelike inspired by it is a must play for me. XENOMARINE shows some early promise.
I've played a good bit of it and it is interesting, if a little early. I do love roguelikes when they are accessible and XENOMARINE isn't hard to get into which really pleases me.
Hopefully it will include some more detailed and varied art in future.
