"There's something suitably retro about 2D side-scrolling shooters. Players whisk through platform-based levels, storming a load of enemies with a platter of bullets in a bid to leave nothing in their wake and take down the enemy at the end. Alien Chaos 3D aims to do things a little differently by keeping the player in an enclosed space, a room or section of an exterior and spawning waves of enemies who have only one goal in mind, to pounce and peck until the life metre drops to zero. It's the classic take on the contemporary horde mode in modern shooters and a throwback to games like Total Carnage and Berzerk. Can a retro concept reignite the arcade feeling in a world filled with explosive first-person shooters and fantasy adventures?", writes Cubed3.
"Back in 2010, there was a game released onto the XBLA market called ‘Mama & Son: Clean House’, a game about destroying robot aliens and cleaning up the mess made. With the first player taking the role of the Rambo-esque character Really Shooter (no...really, his name is Really), Mama would either be played by a second player, the AI, or the first player if on hardcore mode. Mama needed to sweep up the bullet shells and bits of destroyed robots, whilst Really protected her and killed everything that posed a threat. The game was extremely short and was actually more of a proof-of-concept test, which is where Alien Chaos 3D comes in. This time around, Mama is abducted by the returning alien robots - apparently a common inconvenience. Now alone, Really must take up both sides of their ‘Mama & Son Demolition and Cleaning Services’ by destroying everything that stands between himself and Mama, whilst simultaneously being respectful to his environment."

Nerdly - A sequel to the little-played 2012 XBLA release Mama & Son: Clean House, Alien Chaos 3D is a download-only title for the Nintendo 3DS from publishers Reef Entertainment that plays very much like Bubble Bobble with guns instead of bubbles and alien robots instead of cutesy animals.
"Alien Chaos 3D contains a lot of good gameplay, especially for a game with a low price. You can't really go wrong; this is an excellent title, and while there's definitely room for improvement, it's still one of the better eShop titles." - Nintendo Feed
