1* DemonicSpiders: The Arachnoids (Pink Xenomorphs) not only have plenty of health, they are fast, leap around in a wild, chaotic way and can kick your ass pretty badly if you aren't quick enough. You could say they're basically what happens when a Facehugger impregnates a [[GratuitousNinja ninja.]]
2* GameBreaker: Linn's jumping downward stab/air throw. The stab can hit downed enemies off the ground, and can be done repeatedly while she's still in the air, resulting in a juggle combo. The Air throw allows her to pick up said juggled enemies and also lifts her a little higher in the air. See a pattern there? A skilled player can jump once, and kill some bosses without her feet touching the ground.
3* HilariousInHindsight: Dutch and Linn are pretty much the early [[VideoGame/{{Contra}} Bill Rizer and Lucia]]. And like Lucia, Linn too is also a female cyborg.
4* NightmareFuel:
5** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRyvjmqCN_Q&ab_channel=GameOverContinue continue]] screen if you run out of health as Schaefer or Kurosawa. You are treated to a first person view of an alien in an eerily lit room repeatedly hissing loudly in a really creepy way. As it hisses, the alien's hands open up more. If you don't insert a coin, the whole screen turns blood-red, and then [[SmashCut smash cuts]] to a black screen with the text "GAME OVER" in the background. The blaring music only makes it worse.
6** The Mad Predator. What's worse than an alien killing machine trained in all manner of hunting technique, armed with weaponry well beyond what humanity has? One of those ''driven completely insane by a Xenomorph embryo''. It's the only boss in the game that doesn't summon mooks to support it, because ''it doesn't need them''.
7* InferredHolocaust: In order to finally destroy the alien hive in San Drad, California, Lt. Kurosawa sets the spaceship's autopilot to crash into it. She initiated a ColonyDrop in order to [[NukeEm nuke a Xenomorph hive]] only a few dozen miles from other human-occupied settlements. Then again, [[GodzillaThreshold it's better than letting the Xenomorphs breed...]] Plus, it's likely all those settlements were evacuated before the Xenos came...
8* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: This is one of the most fondly remembered licensed games ever made.
9* ThatOneAttack:
10** The Mad Predator's bombarding when he gets in low health. Unless you know that you can, just like in most beat'em ups, use your special desperation attack and its invincibility frames, good luck avoiding it.
