Try the demo of Starship Troopers - Terran Command on October 1st

We have great news: Starship Troopers - Terran Command will be doing its part in the Steam Next Festival, and everyone will be able to download and play the demo.

The demo will contain two scenarios, including “Peace of Mine.” This is an early scenario that already features most of the game’s key mechanics: players will deploy the Mobile Infantry to defend a central outpost, which will serve as the staging point to reactivate mining facilities and clear out all bugs nests in the surrounding area.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard any news about this game in so long, I was beginning to fear that maybe it had been cancelled behind the scenes. Oct 1, huh? At the time I'm posting this, that'll be this Friday, so can't wait!

FWIW - you lost me at "movie" universe and "real time". Starship Troopers (the book by Robert Heinlein) was *amazing*. The movie was simply awful.

Looking to the screenshots you have futuristic mobile infantry grouped up like WW1 (circa 1917) soldiers, who were never taught the importance of cover & concealment, proper separation (3m) between squadmates, etc. One machine-gun burst, grenade, or mortar round takes out the whole group.

Understanding 'General-Relativity & Quantum-Mechanics'... that relate to... or deal with the concepts of 'Dark-Energy and Inflation' relating to the creation and expansion of the 'Universe or even Multi-Verses'... is easier to understand than the wholesale shoulder to shoulder mass of infantry doing a kamikaze' frontal suicidal attack against nearly invincible 'Bugs'!.

However!... this is just 'FANTASY'... just 'SCIENCE-FICTION'... where the 'RULES'... are meant to be relaxed or broken. So... just try to get your head into the Game... that just for this moment in time... that this is the 'REAL-REALITY'... and then try to do what you can do to effect... "VICTORIE"!. This is a 'BEER & PRETZLES' Game... it is an alternative outlet for 'FUN'.
