Come on you apes, you wanna live forever?
HELLDIVERS 2 is now available
for Windows
on
Steam and on PlayStation 5, giving you the chance to defend humanity in this
third-person science fiction shooter sequel and its
Starship Troopers
influence. Here's the previously released
The
Story So Far Trailer. The launch may be too popular, as
PC Gamer notes reports of matchmaking issues and crashes have developer
Arrowhead Studios in "crisis mode," with one hotfix already in place which
should "improve matchmaking and the most frequent crashes." As for the game
itself, would you like to know more?
HELLDIVERS™ 2 is a 3rd person
squad-based shooter that sees the elite forces of the Helldivers battling to win
an intergalactic struggle to rid the galaxy of the rising alien threats. From a
3rd person perspective, players use a variety of weapons (pistols, machine guns,
flamethrowers) and stratagems (turrets, airstrikes, etc.) to shoot and kill the
alien threats. Players can also aim down the sights for a more accurate 1st
person camera view. Combat is accompanied by frequent sprays of blood and
dismemberment as players exterminate the alien forces or players and squad mates
are hit by environmental explosions or friendly fire. Enemy encampments and
battlefield environments depict bloodstains and dismembered
corpses.
