Starship Troopers Extermination: A New Chapter in Sci-Fi Warfare
"Starship Troopers Extermination" is a co-operative sci-fi first-person shooter that incorporates strategic base-building elements. Released in early access on May 17, 2023, for PC, this game is the latest creation from the Canadian studio Offworld Industries, known for its expertise in FPS games like Squad, Post Scriptum, and Beyond The Wire.
Story
The game's title may sound familiar because it draws inspiration from the 1997 film "Starship Troopers" and is officially part of the franchise. Set 30 years after the events of the movie, the game's narrative centers on battling swarms of formidable space bugs. Players are transported to the mining planet Valaka, where they take on the role of a Deep Space Vanguard soldier from a Mobile Infantry Special Forces battalion tasked with defeating the arachnid foes and reclaiming infested territories.
Gameplay
"Starship Troopers Extermination" delivers the thrills expected of a classic FPS, with the added twist of base-building mechanics. Players engage in intense combat, capture strategic bases, and fortify them to resist further insect incursions. The fortification process involves repairing damages and outfitting bases with defensive structures like walls, towers, turrets, and ammo stations, all while judiciously utilizing the planet's mining resources.
Upon starting the game, players choose from three classes—Hunter (assault), Operator (support), or Bastion (defense)—each tailored to different play styles and skills. The game features an intuitive "Ping" system for effective team communication, enabling players to coordinate attacks, highlight points of interest, identify threats, and more.
Progression in the game allows for unlocking new equipment, weapons, and perks, enhancing your character's capabilities. However, the challenge escalates as the Arachnids grow stronger with each mission, introducing new and more powerful enemies such as Drones, Warriors, Gunners, Plasma Grenadiers, and Tiger Elite.
