Gameplay[edit]

Alien Breed 3D is a first-person shooter. The game has maps of varying depths with platforms and floors above others, something the Doom engine was not capable of.

Team17 released the source codes for Alien Breed 3D and its sequel, Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds, for personal use on the March 1997 cover CD of Amiga Format.[1]

Reception[edit]

Alien Breed 3D was released to critical acclaim among the Amiga gaming press. Reviewers widely compared its gameplay to Doom, with some calling it the best Doom-clone for Amiga.

The game was ranked the 12th best game of all time by Amiga Power.[10] It reappeared as one of the 25 games compiled for the A500 Mini console, released in 2022.[11]
