Four-Helldiver squads
You drop as part of a squad of up to four Helldivers, each team handed strategic missions to finish together. The core gameplay is fun. Sticking close matters, since friendly fire can hurt squad mates and a careless shot lands on a friend. Playing with friends adds to the fun.
A war every mission feeds
Each outing is part of a larger fight to rid the galaxy of alien threats. What your squad takes or holds feeds the same shared galactic war everyone is pushing, so each mission counts beyond its own map. You earn Requisition for rewards for yourself, your squad and your destroyer ship. Missions are frantic and full of action.
Loadouts and how you fight
You build loadouts from explosive weapons, armour and stratagems, including turrets and airstrikes alongside pistols, machine guns and flamethrowers. How loud you go is your call: sneak through enemy territory or charge straight into combat, with those same weapons and stratagems shaping either plan. Weapon balance changes with updates, so a favourite pick can change strength and you may need to rethink your setup.
Unpredictable enemies, bloody fights
You face several enemy factions, and each enemy has its own unpredictable tactics and behaviour. Combat brings frequent blood and dismemberment, with the aftermath left visible on the field. The graphics look good.
