Just this year marks the 25th anniversary –yes, yes, you read correctly– of the theatrical release of Starship Troopers. A tape that caused a huge stir because behind the cameras was neither more nor less than Paul Verhoeven (robocop, Total challenge, Basic Instinctetc.), in front of an incredible cast of actors such as Neil Patrick Harris, Dina Meyer and Denise Richards, among others, in addition to an incredible legion of murderous beasts created by computer that impacted the audience at the time.
From film to multiplayer
The fact is that although the film did not reap a very well-known box office success at the time, since it barely raised 20 million dollars more than it cost, over the years it has managed to gather a good number of people around it. fans who have not only kept her memory alive, but have done everything possible so that we all have her on that pedestal to which only cult titles rise. And he is on his way to achieving it.
Be that as it may, Offworld Industries has presented a few hours ago what will be Starship Troopers Exterminationan FPS (first person shooter) pure and hardof those who like to play from time to time on PC armed with a keyboard and mouse to, above all, face an infinite army of insects whose legs have become their main weapon since, as you will remember, they can pierce, cut , sectioning and amputating Space Marine limbs almost like butter.
Although at the moment there is not much data, it is known that the game will opt for the cooperative multiplayer model, where up to 12 marines will be able to face the plague of insects that devastate different planets in different missions. Remember that in the movie these beasts had conquered several places in the galaxy and it was the mission of the humans to reconquer the lost ground until they finally reached the headquarters.
How can you play it?
First of all, it must be said that Starship Troopers Extermination It is not available yet although it has an official page on Steam. Well then, it will be through her that we can try the game before anyone else when the call is launched early access. Indeed, the developer has announced that it is already opening a process of wish listthat is to say, that we can add this title to our favorites so that, when news occurs, they inform us of everything.
That means at the moment when he early access is active (which will happen in 2023) we could get into to test how their cooperative battles will be and, above all, experiment with any of the three announced classes, such as defense, support and assault. In total, we will be part of a team of three squads with four marines each who will not only fight to survive, but also to obtain the necessary resources and thus increase the firepower of our base of operations (building walls, generating raw materials and objects, etc.) located on the planet Valaka.
Of course, it looks like it wants to become a new multiplayer phenomenon that extends as much as possible over the next few years. Will he get it?
