About

NS2: Combat pits aliens against space marines in a fast paced, action-packed struggle for survival. Part twitch-shooter, part stealth crawler, design your own tech tree, choose your own style of play, and control one of seven different life forms. Try unique abilities such as 'Devour', where the largest alien eats her enemies, or pilot the hulking mechanised 'Exo Suit' and punch aliens in the face. NS2: Combat offers ranked servers supporting casual and competitive play.

The framework is in place for a truly worthy NS2 alternative, and I feel that if Faultine had made the extra effort to branch out with new modes or a different approach to NS2’s systems—I’d love a Spies vs. Mercs setting of perma-cloaked Kharaa up against infrared-goggled Marines—the price wouldn’t factor into anyone’s decision to grab it. At the moment, save your money and stick with NS2.

With a focus on high end play, tactical combat and long-term mastery, Natural Selection 2: Combat is a game eminently suited to both public and private competitive scenes. A lean offering with a promising future, developer Faultline Games has achieved that rarest of things; to separate a core feature from a game and allow it to stand on its own two feet and make it equally worthwhile to established veterans and unpractised hands alike.
