The Predator is a character balanced between combat and stealth. The Alien is a melee-only character that cannot heal wounds but can instead “cocoon” enemies and thus essentially turn them into checkpoints that the player could continue playing from if they died.
While it wasn’t as impressive as Doom was from a technical standpoint, Aliens vs Predator was unique in that it allowed the player to experience the game as three different characters: the Alien, the Predator, and the Colonial Marine, each with different mechanics and playstyles tied to them.
Arcade beat ‘em ups weren’t the only thing that the gaming scene had going for it in the 90s, and with the immense popularity of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, seeing a first-person shooter based on Aliens vs Predator was by no means strange. The next Aliens vs Predator game came a few months after the arcade title, and it was the Alien vs Predator for the Atari Jaguar.
