Most-played Alien Breed games
Alien Breed: Tower Assault
DOSTop-Down Shooter
Alien Breed: Tower Assault is a top-down science-fiction run-and-gun game developed by Team17 and published by Ocean Software for DOS in 1994. It is the fourth major entry in the Alien Breed line and expands the series' enclosed-base combat with larger, more exploratory levels. Players control a marine investigating an infested installation, searching for access items, managing ammunition, and fighting swarms of aliens at close range. The game combines arcade shooting with maze navigation and light resource management. Its split-screen two-player option made cooperative play a notable feature, while the darker presentation and more complex layouts gave it a stronger exploratory character than earlier entries. Reception generally recognized its intense action and co-op appeal, although the interface and demanding navigation could be frustrating.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
