The game begins with Ripley in a spacecraft traveling to make contact with a certain planet. The plot is laid out in a number of mission briefings taking the player through a very action-dependent story based more on game character development rather than specific elements of the films.

This game uses several weapons from the movie and new weapons developed exclusively for the game. There are references to things such as facehuggers, chestbursters, dog aliens, adult aliens, and Queen alien bosses. Alien Trilogy contains many features of the Alien movie series.
