[small](heh, that rhymed)[/small]

Anyways, having downloaded Alien Swarm off Steam, I was reminded of a game I played a few years ago in the same style, but single player.

It's been a while, and I only played through it once, but I do remember it was made by a German company, it looked almost exactly like Alien Swarm, and you were investigating some sort of space colony, or something.

Now, I know this is far fetched, but... does any of this ring ANY bells for anyone? I've probably Google'd my way through half the bloody internet trying to find this out, and come up nearly empty handed ( I discovered an RPG series called Gothic).

So, please - if you've got any ideas for me, or if your Google'ing skills are better than mine - be my Obi-Wan.

Well...

Alien Swarm itself comes from a mod, but I don't know how old the mod is or who made it.

Any idea of what enemies you were fighting or something?

EDIT:

Oh, and rifle through these random screenshots:

Maybe you'll recognise one.

The mod is more recent, and the game I played was strictly single player, this one is 4 players minimum, even the "Offline Practice" mode has three 'bots'.

Uhm... there were... aliens =S (now how's THAT for specific? lol).

One of the screenshots looked kinda close, but thanks for the search - not being a native speaker of English, I didn't know isometric meant anything but a kind of physical exercise xP so I'll try Google again, using that word.

Shadow Grounds? Alien Breed? Alien Shooter? Those are the ones that I can think of...
