If you're thinking about comparing Starship Troopers: Extermination to Helldivers 2, stop right there. Sure, they're both cooperative multiplayer shooters that involve blasting thousands of alien bugs, each inspired by Paul Verhoeven's 1997 satirical sci-fi flick. But apart from that, they're totally different games. Helldivers 2 is a surgically precise slapstick comedy, its goofy sci-fi action driven by pristine physics, immaculate ballistics, and its phenomenally satisfying Stratagems. Extermination is a much broader, weirder, rougher affair, one that in many ways has loftier ambitions, yet only a fraction of the budget to execute with.
