Combat revolves around tight corridor navigation, resource management, and escalating alien encounters. Players sweep through space station environments, scavenge ammunition and health packs, activate switches to unlock new areas, and fend off waves of hostile creatures. The collection introduces online Rush Mode and Horde Mode, testing coordination and survival endurance under mounting pressure.
Each game preserves its original campaign structure while adding cross-platform multiplayer compatibility, split-screen, and single-screen couch co-op. Steam Achievements track progress across all six titles. The package delivers both nostalgic single-player runs and modernized team-based sessions for fans revisiting the breed or discovering the series for the first time.
