Alienation is an isometric shooter developed by Housemarque and released for PlayStation 4 in 2016. Considered a spiritual successor to the studio's earlier title Dead Nation, it blends science-fiction and fantasy settings in a combat-driven experience where players take on the role of a mercenary tasked with repelling large waves of invading alien forces. The game is built around frenetic, horde-style combat viewed from an overhead perspective, emphasizing crowd control and sustained action against escalating enemy numbers. Alongside its single-player offering, Alienation supports an optional cooperative mode accommodating up to four players, allowing groups to tackle the alien invasion together. The title continues Housemarque's focus on arcade-influenced gameplay within a more expansive action framework.
