Aliens: Dark Descent is a horror game where winning doesn't come easily. And since this is an Alien game, soldiers dying is part of the experience. But since I have years of experience playing squad-based games, I wondered if I should play the Aliens Dark Descent tutorial.
Should You Play or Skip the Tutorial in Aliens Dark Descent?
You should play the Aliens: Dark Descent tutorial! The game has a steep learning curve, so learn the combat system and skill usage this way is important. If you skip the Aliens: Dark Descent tutorial, you'll be confused with a bunch of commands.

This is all especially true if you're left-handed like me and must customize keybinding—changing input while not knowing what commands do makes for a frustrating experience!
How long does it take to complete the Aliens Dark Descent tutorial?
It takes around 30 minutes to complete the Aliens: Dark Descent tutorial. You can speed up the process by skipping cutscenes, but if you like the Alien franchise, you'll want to watch them all.
