I would suggest you do all the beginning missions stealthy as possible. Leave the camera and veterinarian missions last since those missions will actively force u take a fight against xenos and a crusher. That will be enough xp for you to then lvl up a good amount
Hrm. I parked my little vroom vroom outside a building and apparently the Crusher spawned and got killed by it before we even saw it. Was the easiest material drop ever 🥰
This guide literally saved me on my first attempt of mission one I never thought a tactical top down alien game would have me on the edge of my seat. Your advice on extracting early was dead on I did push on a bit longer and suffered a hive onslaught attack that luckily the APC helped me deal with
Great tips! There are plenty of other games with stress mechanisms though. Alien Dark Descent: I have an in-depth and punishing stress and quirk system, as well as permadeath. Darkest Dungeon: Oh you sweet summer child.
@@MistaFiOth some people mite not knowing you can pick them back up I played colonial marines coop and I’ve had people just leave the sentry behind I carry the damn thing to the end of the game
Humble piece of advice for the rookies here: use the pause button A LOT. At first I was swayed by the tought that this is an RTS game, so I went along with the flux of the events in real time and found myself swamped or swarmed constantly. Until I realized that I can pause the game every time I wanted. Enter a large room? Stop and check. Someone spot a xeno? Stop and check. Massive onslaught coming? Stop and study your surroundings to set up defenses. I use it even multiple times during the same fight to better decide squad movements and best abilities.
Loved your AFE content so I’m here for the Aliens DD content!! So far I’m loving it! It’s quite a different type of game and I personally enjoy the feeling of playing a tabletop type game like the old school Leading Edge Aliens board game! I look forward to more videos from you on “how to” and “tips”! 👍🏻
Yup, yup. I've renamed everyone after Aliens characters and to their closest corresponding class as well. Along with the Movie Audio mod that Nexus deleted, Dark Descent is seriously the most authentic Aliens experience outside the actual movie. Great game! Working on the Nightmare difficulty achievement now for the plat.
@@MistaFiOth Buttery smooth, no stutters and Cooper's Datapad is still visible. PC has stutters and Cooper's Datapad has been invisible since the big patch but I prefer playing it on PC because of the movie audio mod, lol. Also running it at epic settings/4k.
While this game isn't the crazy fast-action game that Aliens Fireteam Elite is, I can't help but notice - you, FiOth - sound more chilled! I like that! =)
Elevators usually save the game progress. Without need to spend tools to make shelter. Though it doesn't work in Montero mission, let's see what will happen after that. And if you forget to take back your sentry guns and/or drone and change the floor - they will all be broken ( You'd better remember take it all before going to the elevator.
@@MistaFiOth I'm just finishing up XCOM2...then I'm going to head straight on into the hellstorm that is Dark Descent. All your tips are being appreciated. Lol. Thanks again.
thx for the video! i started yesterday n started on hard, except for the days, them i did put on easy. i just always hated a death clock! but omg they could have gone easier on the stress meter XD one encounter and one might just end up like..... ITS GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!
Tehnically, there is "manual" save when deployed but only if you have enough tools (at least one for single door safe rooms). Whenever you weld yourself into a safe room (preferably with one door), after resting, the game will save the progress. RNG with marine's skill is bad feature imo. Anyone who's familiar with the military knows that you get skilled through training and according to your abilities - not some random lottery. You cant be a sniper if you cant shoot for shit or do your math correctly. We players ought to be given freedom to develop our characters as we like, not what some RNG gives us. Also, because we cannot manually control individual marines, this game desperately needs formation rotation feature i.e. by clicking a button that we can rotate charaters how they are placed (clockwise for example). Many times I've raised alarm because I was spotted and my recon sniper could not get a silenced shot at an alien in time - most of time, you need to have your entire team exposed for sniper to have a line of sight. Selecting and controling the tecker drone should be simplified i.e. to automatically select drone and switch to controlling it and its skills by clicking on drone icon on the left side of screen.
I must say that the game looks gorgeous on my PS5 and the details when zooming in is awesome 👌 I Looooooove the fact that I can board the APC and also move it around the map for picking off roaming aliens. Loving the game so far 👌 Thank you for the tips 💪🍻
Sometime, YT glitches the F out... don't you worry, Marine! o7 What I suggest, if you are not too many hours in, is to start a new save. Taking it easy from the start and optimizing is much more enjoyable than trying to salvage a really bad run.
I find that grenading the wandering drones works as well as precision shot for stealth. A bit weird yes. It saves me from having a recon class Marine, sergeants and teckers are more useful I find. PS and I hate the cape in an Aliens universe...😁
@@MistaFiOth oh yes I understand, it makes sense. I always played with the alien at low HP. When I'll go for the difficulty maxed out I will have to cope the cape then 🤮
This is really good advice love it. However i would say stick with the first missoon as long as poss without losing any character rather than going home early as you said. Also dont like the save scumming advice. Thats why i prefer xcom because they hard bake the results so that no one save scums.
This video was made during the first 24-hours of the game's lifespan. Its intend was to help people get started. Ideally, you want to stay in Dead Hills until you have to extract to move the story forward. As for the save-scumming, to each their own, I guess. :P
If you go into Hard Phase, you better bail. The DMG you will sustain is not worth it. Also, make sure you are managing Stress property. If things get too bad, you want to consider going back for some Therapy.
@danham8356 0 seconds ago Quick question are all 13 missions on same planet? How bad is the infestation bar when days pass by? As I see every level has fixed bars. Reason I am asking is, if the death lock won’t activate till mission 6, it might be worth exploring the right RNG and go to otago often to keep all marines in health state while doing small bites of progress. Is this a good strategy? Or will this cause the ingestion to go nuts if the whole game is on same planet (I.e same infestation level will keep increasing and not reset)?
Every ten days the Infestation Level is increased by one. On very rare occasions you can lower it via a Daily Event, or you can use late-game research to do so. It caps at Lvl 5. All Missions are affected by the same meter.
New player here. I just messed up and 2 of my marines were killed. I noticed I only have 8 left now. The dead ones weren't replaced. Do you only have 10 marines in total? For the whole game?
@@MistaFiOth Ok. Thx. Having 5 classes but only 4 slots to fill seems a bit silly, though. How do you decide on team composition for a mission, since Sarge, Medic and Scout seem like must-haves to me?
I don't know if this is a game problem or something else when I go in to the upgrade area for the marines to level up and all that I select one and I wanted to do a different one and I don't select anything for that one and I want to back out of that are it won't let me and it does the same thing with at the launch screen I hit the O button and does nothing and I have to close the game and restart and it does the same thing I know you're on the PC so has this happened to anyone on the PS5 or does it do that and makes you even if u don't have enough points to buy anything I'm a little passed I was having a good time
Very nice as always Fi, this def has helped with me making a decision to purchase. Quick question, i know moise and key would be optimal for this game, have you tries controller yet? and if so, how is it?
Thank you, my man! There is full controller support. Didn't spend much time with it, but it's serviceable. I don't think you'll have any problems with it.
How do you get the commons and perks in general u want if you have multiple peopz to Upgrade. Then it gets even more crazy with rng when loading after battle report every time...?
There is not a huge pool of them. Within a few levels, you should be able to get the ones you want. Yes, it's RNG, but probability of 1/3 being something you want is pretty good.
I'm always very committed to the work, brother. Appreciate your kind words. Rest assured, if anything releases for the game, I'll be there to cover and stream it. If you deem the work worthwhile, please consider supporting the Channel via available platforms. I hope you are having a great one.
Good video but for me it feels like spoiling the experience. I have died so many times and I like being in the quandry of squad selection, traits and buffs and debuffs. Although passing days increases infestation.
@@MistaFiOth Another fun bug is if you look at your marines in the recap screen in mission they can sometimes be missing limbs or sometimes just a pair of floating eyeballs and some webbing. ^^
Inquiry FiOth, once an Upgrade for a class is unlocked IF the unfortante RNG occurs and that Marine KIA when you get the replacement. Do you need to retrain the replacement marine to unlock upgrades and their Actual Level, & Class Level again?(That's going to become annoying if so, X-Com did that and that was the one aspect I could Not stand after awhile of Sh-t RNG moments.) Also From the stream I Didn't see the ability to control a single marine manually was that not a function? IF not that makes the game lose some tactical advantages for the player, such as kiting and baiting targets for ambushes, in that case it's more like how civilization would force the player to control groups of infantry instead of single units and that could have moments where it will not end well.
Let's unpack this. If a Marine dies, you can use another one of your recruits, but you have to level them up again, individually, to reach the point your OG was at. That is, IF you get the exact same upgrade path with your Commons, which become available randomly with each Level-Up. You cannot control each Marine individually. The whole Squad is controlled as a single entity. In 95% of the game, this is fine. There are few moments where full control would have benefited the game, though.
@@UnsaltedCashew38 heavily scripted, linear games are the ones you are referring to. If a game is more open-ended or emergent, you can't have everything tailored. I agree, there are difficulty spikes, but consider the player base's background. How many of today's gamers have actual experience with the genre?
You can force the game to save by making safe zones and resting. It's not a traditional system though, and saves will overwrite themselves as you progress.
Play however you want, I don't give a cold poo. For the people who want to have a smooth experience - ESPECIALLY the ones who don't dabble in games like this - the advice will help. Take your purist attitude and go somewhere where they care about such trash.
@@MistaFiOth it wasn’t even meant in the negative way it might have sounded. Sorry for that. Some games require such behavior (save&reload cycles) as RNG elements are too punishing. It’s more a game design critique, shouldn’t be a personal attack. Reading my comment a second time I can see that it could easily be interpreted as such. Apologies for that.
I played through the game and the camera is awful. it won't properly center on the team so you can literally have them walk out of frame and you can't move the camera to follow. I was playing last night and whatever glitch was going on in game with the camera it wouldn't center, when you would press "home" and some areas of the map they would walk right off camera and you couldn't get them back unless you sent them where the camera was. After twenty minutes of this, I Exited the game and restarted. It was a little better but the camera controls are buggy as hell and it ruins the game when you can't move around their map in areas you should be able to explore. I'm disappointed and strongly considering asking for a refund. This game is seriously broken.
There are bugs, true. But the game at its core is good. I agree that the paying customer has the rights to a functional product. I'd wait for a bit though. It has issues, but it's not a train wreck. Give Tindalos a chance to fix it.

There is a way to create a save. If you weld yourself in a room to rest it creates a save point
Yup, but that's also an automated and costs a resource. What I'm referring to is good ol' menu saving.
You can save in a weld room, then reload the save and rest again. And again. Until your stress is 0. Some weld rooms don’t do it but most do. Mostly.

Hold down the button you use to deploy it down and you can rotate it. On xbox it's the A button for example.
RNG... Dayum, I have horrible luck with RNG in both real life and in-game 😓
Sounds like fun! 😛
How long is the game?
I'd say, if you are really meticulous, about 20 hours.
@@MistaFiOth thank you. And does it have much replayabilty? I will assume you will go through the same maps again.
Yeah, but you can tinker with your difficulty in the associated menu to create custom-made ones. There is some replaybility here.
Wow, what bs! You can load the game at the command report and have a different scenario to select on the next day?! Thanks for the tip!
Yup. I strongly recommend you try it too. The game tried to screw you REAL hard sometimes.
@@MistaFiOth Single player games are usually scripted for a consistent experience, this game has uneven balancing issues.
@@UnsaltedCashew38 heavily scripted, linear games are the ones you are referring to. If a game is more open-ended or emergent, you can't have everything tailored. I agree, there are difficulty spikes, but consider the player base's background. How many of today's gamers have actual experience with the genre?
8:00 that is annoying RNG
RNG is always annoying. 😛
How do i remove trauma?
The Guide is coming up in a bit! Stay tuned my man!
The Psych ward. It's unlocked after the second mission area I believe
@@Kazanko28 thank you
Poor RNG lol 😆
Bane of my existence!
what is RNG?
Random Number Generation - it means some things happen randomly, pretty much.
thanks @@MistaFiOth
@warrencantero my pleasure!
wait no manual saves? nobody else has mentioned this that ive watched, i was on the edge of buying this but thats a def no from me now then
You can force the game to save by making safe zones and resting. It's not a traditional system though, and saves will overwrite themselves as you progress.
@@MistaFiOth no manual saves for a game like this is just a hard pass, especially if its so RNG heavy
I agree. I believe they should have gone with the traditional approach as well, especially since the game is so prone to crashing.
yeah its a bit crap that you can't just save it. Pet peeve of mine. Making safe zones and using lifts is the best way to mitigate this.
Recurring tip number one: save scum…a lot…all the time…got it
Play however you want, I don't give a cold poo. For the people who want to have a smooth experience - ESPECIALLY the ones who don't dabble in games like this - the advice will help. Take your purist attitude and go somewhere where they care about such trash.
@@MistaFiOth it wasn’t even meant in the negative way it might have sounded. Sorry for that. Some games require such behavior (save&reload cycles) as RNG elements are too punishing. It’s more a game design critique, shouldn’t be a personal attack.
Reading my comment a second time I can see that it could easily be interpreted as such. Apologies for that.
I played through the game and the camera is awful. it won't properly center on the team so you can literally have them walk out of frame and you can't move the camera to follow. I was playing last night and whatever glitch was going on in game with the camera it wouldn't center, when you would press "home" and some areas of the map they would walk right off camera and you couldn't get them back unless you sent them where the camera was. After twenty minutes of this, I Exited the game and restarted. It was a little better but the camera controls are buggy as hell and it ruins the game when you can't move around their map in areas you should be able to explore. I'm disappointed and strongly considering asking for a refund. This game is seriously broken.
There are bugs, true. But the game at its core is good. I agree that the paying customer has the rights to a functional product. I'd wait for a bit though. It has issues, but it's not a train wreck. Give Tindalos a chance to fix it.
Pressing Home makes it follow the team I believe. Definitely zooms to them and I think it follows.
ew rng
Well, all these games have it mate.
Nice...thx👌
Enjoy!
@@MistaFiOth Jab. Love this franchise 👌
We all do, dude! Stick around for more!
