Sony’s first game of the year, Helldivers 2, is a complete success. After only four days on the market, this title developed by Arrowhead Game Studio has already sold more than 1 million units.
Helldivers 2 is a very funny and charismatic game that has some similarities to a specific movie launched back in 1997. This movie is Starship Troopers. Paul Verhoeven, director of Robocop, was in charge of this film. Helldivers 2 is literally what every fan of Starship Troopers wants in a game based on that movie.
Helldivers 2 and Starship Troopers Are Two Sides of the Same Coin
The game of the moment, Helldivers 2, has been receiving a lot of praise for its gameplay, story, and personality. The humor in particular and the way they manage some things with the soldiers are very subtle and hilarious.
As part of the Super Earth, you can join the Helldivers team to apply democracy to new planets and fight with all kinds of enemies. Between these enemies are creatures that look just like the enemies from the cult movie Starship Troopers, and that is not all that looks like this film from 1997.
The team at Arrowhead Game Studio takes the best from Starship Troopers and puts it in the game. Many fans noticed these similarities and agreed that this was the best possible Starship Troopers game.
The humor and characters from Helldivers 2 are just like the movie, and it’s beautiful. In the movie directed by Paul Verhoeven, the creator of Robocop, soldiers from all over the world were recruited to vanquish the insectoid-like creatures in different planetary battles, resulting in incredible fatalities for the human side.
Starship Troopers Fans Are Very Pleased
A Reddit user, Ishuun, posted a clip of the game destroying an enormous alien with the title “Just like the movies,” making reference to Starship Troopers. The post quickly went viral, and several other users replied, agreeing with this statement and being very happy about the impressive Helldivers 2 experience.
Some fans are highlighting the inconceivable and organic way that Helldivers 2 has to make epic battle moments that remind them of the film. In Starship Troopers, to prevent the bugs from keeping appearing, you have to close the hole, just like Helldivers 2 does.
Many players and critics are praising Helldivers 2’s gameplay and talking about how simple and fun it is. In Metacritic, the game has a solid 83 overall, making a very good impact for a multiplayer game. For the moment, the game has not had a road map confirmed or shown by Arrowhead Game Studio. Helldivers 2 launches with a lot of content to enjoy.
