History VideoGame / AlienRage

* NintendoHard: Your relatively low health, the very slow rate of health regeneration, the HitboxDissonance coupled with destroyable cover, the fact that explosions clip through cover coupled with almost every enemy in the game being able to fire grenades from their rifles, and the extremely aggressive and numerous enemies make this a VERY, VERY difficult game. It is apparently intended for people who speedrun Videogame/{{Halo}} on Legendary, or products of late 20th century genetic engineering.

-->'''IRIS''': "Now you're thinking with [[{{VideoGame/Portal}} portals]]!"
-->'''Jack''': "What?"
-->'''IRIS''': "Uh, nothing, software glitch."

-->'''Vorus Centurion''': "(speaking Vorus language)"
-->'''Jack:''' "What the hell is he saying?! IRIS can you translate it?"
-->'''IRIS''': "Yeah, but I don't think you wanna know."
-->'''Jack''': "Try me."
-->'''Vorus Centurion''': "[[Film/Scarface1983 Say hello to my little friend!]]"
-->'''Jack''': "You're right, I don't wanna know."

* ASpaceMarineIsYou: No surprise there. And his name is Jack.

''Alien Rage'' is a 2013 Sci-Fi FirstPersonShooter developed by City Interactive, a Polish studio best known for the military shooter ''VideoGame/SniperGhostWarrior''. The game is built on the ''Videogame/{{Bulletstorm}}'' engine (itself built on the latest iteration of the ''[[VideoGame/{{Unreal}} Unreal]]'' engine) and intended as a throwback to earlier, more arcade-like sci-fi FPS games (like ''Unreal''), with high-impact weapons, large numbers of enemies, and huge boss fights. The plot involves a SpaceMarine infiltrating a [[{{Unobtainium}} Promethium]] mining facility that has been taken over by a hostile, militant alien race known as the Vorus.

** GiantMook: Large, slow, armored enemies armed with miniguns appear as an uncommon enemy type. They can take a lot of hits, but since even the basic Mooks require a ton of bullets to kill, on relative terms they're only somewhat tougher than normal. The main challenge they pose is that you can't instantly kill them with a headshot. And then there's the Vorus Centurion, who's essentially the Battlelord from DukeNukem3D.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: [[spoiler: The audiologs gradually reveal that, as genuinely savage and brutal as the Vorus are, the only reason they attacked the humans is because they were provoked by a rogue human officer, Peytton.]]

* GunshipRescue: At the very ending, IRIS appears in all her gunship glory to save your armored butt, giant minigun mowing down all in her path.

* TheFaceless: The real face of the Vorus are never seen. Most vorus wear hoods that completely conceal their faces. Other Vorus wear lizard-like helmets, but those are just helmets; it's unclear what the head underneath actually looks like (although given the prevalence of the lizard motif, it's not a stretch to imagine that they look like lizards.)

* {{Unobtainium}}: Promethium. It's the fuel that makes space travel work.

* HitboxDissonance: Scoring headshots on enemies is harder than it appears, because their hoods[=/=] helmets make their head appear larger than it actually is (you need to aim below their eyes to score a proper hit). Also, apparently because you are a fat space marine, your own hitbox is ''huge'' and you'll find yourself taking hits even if you think you're completely behind cover.

The game features an arcade-like scoring system with the player's performance in each level being scored based on various things such as headshots, explosion kills, etc. During the game, a deep-voiced announcer will loudly proclaim each special kill as you perform them.
