It favorably compared the game's quality to Doom II and Quake as an Amiga alternative designed for much less expensive computers.
It asserted that the enemies had to be disabled for multiplayer mode because of the limitations on data transfer between Amiga 1200 machines, and its only criticisms focused on some of the sound effects and the fact that the player's weapons tend to be aimed towards ground enemies instead of those hovering above them. It praised the lighting and sound effects, the weapon variety, the automap, the enemy artificial intelligence, the level editor, and the challenge and difficulty curve the game presented. One of the most enthusiastic reviews came from Amiga Format. The enemies have been described as erratic and unwilling to die, and the level layout is said to emphasise the need to conserve ammunition and health for later levels and battles. that has not been matched" by the enemies of the game's Amiga competitors. The magazine praised the level layout and acclaimed the artificial intelligence, the latter of which had given the enemies "a sense of menace. CU Amiga justified the requirements by pointing out that Team17 intended to create a definitive Doom-clone for Amiga and noting that Worms: The Director's Cut, another video game of Team17, required an AGA chipset. Critics were divided on the appropriateness of the hardware requirements and the enemy artificial intelligence, but were united in their judgement that the 2 MB version ran smoothly but with rudimentary graphics and that the 4 MB version required an Amiga computer with heavily accelerated graphics. Reception Īlien Breed 2D II: The Killing Grounds received mostly favorable reviews. Īn editor was shipped with the game, allowing users to create their own levels. Most Amiga enthusiasts have only been able to play the game in recent years using emulation. Even with the fastest CPU at that time (MC68060 66 MHz), the game could not be played smoothly with high details in fullscreen. Most Amigas of the time struggled to run the game, even with upgraded RAM and accelerator cards. Their project, however, was perhaps over-ambitious. The reduced version was supposedly able to run on a non-expanded Amiga 1200, although the game ran slowly. Team17 had included two versions of the game spread over 5 disks: one with high-quality sound and textures, the other with reduced quality versions.
This time Team17 was aiming even higher, hoping to recreate something similar to the Quake engine on an Amiga. With the success of Alien Breed 3D, Team17 decided to follow it up with a sequel.
