!! Aliens: Armageddon contain examples of:
* AirborneMooks: The flying facehuggers and winged drones make a comeback in this game, with the skies ''alive'' with these abominations.
* AlwaysNight: EVERY. SINGLE. LEVEL. takes place at night.
* BattleInTheRain: At least three of the levels have the players battling alien hordes while in the middle of heavy rain.

* EliteMooks: Brown Alien drones are stronger and deals greater damage than the common black drones. Also applies to the fast-moving Hexapedal Xenomorphs.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Basically the fate of ''Earth'', after the alien outbreak spreads out of control. And there's nothing your character can do about it, except buy enough time for survivors to evacuate and leave the Earth's orbit.
* GiantFlyer: Winged alien drones are at least three times larger than humans, and you'll be battling entire swarms of them in the later levels. And that's not getting into the kaiju-sized Flying Xenomorph Queen.
* GiantFootOfStomping: The kaiju-sized bosses, such as the Quadrupedal Xenomorph, Giant crested Xenomorph and Giant Flying Queen will try to stomp you flat, and you'll need to shoot at either their knees, shins, or foot (depending on indicators in the game) to cancel their attacks, or suffer massive damage.
** In the FinalBoss battle, your unfortunate Commander ends up getting stomped by the Giant Flying Queen's foot, and in his dying throes, passes you his grenade launcher telling you to help the evacuation process before he succumbs.
* GiantMook: There are ''colossal'' version of the usual alien varieties showing up in the game, including facehuggers and chestbursters the size of vehicles, as well as smaller versions of the Quadrupedal Xenomorph (but still towering above you).
* GrenadeLauncher: One of the later Power-up weapons of the game, which can kill most enemies in a single hit. It's also the only weapon that can damage the FinalBoss, the Winged Xenomorph Queen.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: The Giant Quadrupedal Xenomorph, appearing for the first time, flings an unfortunate drone into your direction. You'll need to shoot the drone before it hits you, or take damage.
* {{Kaiju}}: While there are giant-sized varieties of usual alien enemies, the bosses on the other hand are an entirely different matter, being the size of ''buildings''.
* KillItWithFire: No ''Alien''-themed video game can be complete ''without'' flamethrowers.
* MoreDakka: The M56 Smartgun, whose firing rate are at least thrice the default M41A Pulse Rifle, and can shred enemies apart with ease.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Hexapodal Xenomorphs have eight limbs, and are notably faster than the common alien drones.
* RedshirtArmy: The Colonial Marines who accompanies you basically exists to be slaughtered by alien drones, or impregnated by facehuggers.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Shotguns can deal severe damage and blow entire limbs off enemies, and when used properly can take down alien drones with a handful of hits.
* SpaceMarine: It's a game from the ''Alien'' franchise. Once more you're a Colonial Marine, although you're battling the aliens on ''earth'' instead of space.
* SpikeShooter: Quadrupedal Xenomorphs can launch homing spikes on the player, which they must shoot to avoid damage.
* SwallowedWhole: The bosses, being the size of ''kaiju'', kills a few unfortunate Marines by chomping them down, with a lengthy cutscene where you witness a fellow Marine getting swallowed (shouting all the way) by the Quadrupedal Xenomorph before the boss battle.
* VideoGameFlamethrowersSuck: Generally averted, just like the two previous arcade shooter of the series. Flamethrowers can easily take down alien drones, and are ''especially'' useful in clearing an area of alien eggs and facehuggers.
* WeaponizedExhaust: [[spoiler: The final stages of battling the Winged Alien Queen, near the evacuation shuttle bound to leave Earth, where players need to deal enough damage before the Queen can destroy they shuttle. If they succeed, the Queen then collapses and ends up incinerated by the shuttle's exhaust]].
* ZergRush: The standard MO used by the alien drones, facehuggers and chestbursters.
