At Helldivers, you're not dealing with Starship Troopers. In the action shooter you can still heat up the bugs a lot.
Helldivers
Helldivers is a shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. The game was published by Sony Computer Entertainment.
Oil producing bugs
The Bugs are a race of aliens that you go to war with in the game. They produce oil, which is very good for the over-earth government. The Helldivers are super soldiers who land in teams of four on the enemy planet. There you complete missions, hold the position and defeat the big bosses.
The game
You get points for completed missions. These will help you in your campaign to conquer new areas and expand your defense against the aliens. The perspective of the game is a bird's eye view. The left stick is for controlling the character and the right stick for aiming at the enemies. One round takes about 20 minutes.
The campaign
The campaign is well structured with two types of missions. The levels are generated randomly. Most of the time it's about blasting nests of bugs to ashes. The explosives can be activated and released at the push of a button. Missions involving evacuation, for example, are more stressful. Another variant is wiping out enemies in different arenas.
Co-op game Helldivers
Teamwork is the order of the day in co-op mode. You have to choose equipment, decide on a combat tactic or rescue wounded comrades. Be careful not to blow your comrades down. Otherwise the host will shoot you out of the game "evacuate". Communication is severely restricted for a co-op game. Text messages via the in-game chat are not possible.
Equipment hunting
Another fun factor is hunting for equipment. This is a long term motivation for the game. Each completed mission unlocks new weapons. In addition, tactical equipment is available for individual soldiers for the missions. You can request these items directly from orbit. Other weapons support you from a distance, such as rocket launchers. Unfortunately, some of the available equipment is chargeable.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, Helldivers doesn't offer enough variety in the missions. It is important to find good teammates so that the game becomes long-term fun. If you work well together, the game motivates you to play longer. The problem is posed by fellow players who like to level you themselves instead of bugs. Still, the game is worth a look if you enjoy playing strategy shooters.
