I like this game. its mindless fun. its doesnt really make sense though. 50 percent of the game is melee. you will watch your weapon float through your enemy and he will take 0 damage. 0 damage. but dont worry he will respond with an attack nowhere near you and you will die. spears also have like a 3 foot kill radius away from the end of their swing so they are basically hand grenades. also the game claims a bayonet strike is a 1 shot kill and a sword is a 2 shot but neither is true. you can be 1 shot by anything of course until its your turn then its take 3 to 4 attacks from either weapon to kill anything. 0 consistency. its fun if you are someone with like 5 minutes to kill and you dont want to watch youtube. other than that stay away

This game is dope. Its the exact right amount of realism without being annoying. Its the right amount of horror without feeling like you cant fight back. Its like a mil sim resident evil 7 in the scp universe.

Good game is good.

Let me give you an example of what is wrong with this game. I have to do a difficult boss encounter (which are always heavily weighted against you). If you get your enemies to attack you near allies the allies are supposed to help you (key word "supposed to"). So i go to this island and see dead black ring enemies everywhere. Get a quest to kill black ring. Bring black ring enemies to allies and quest giver and they completely ignore the giant fight going on in front of their faces. My allies and the quest giver are even taking enemy AOE damage and just taking it like a blow in the wind with a smile on their face. Then after a few minutes of this i decided to see if my AOE damage would trigger my allies against me. OF COURSE IT DID. The enemies can nuke the allied NPCs and they give no cares, but then I do it in the same fight, and now its the entire island against me. Whats the point of that quest at all? How does this not completely break immersion in an RPG? This is just one example, you'll come across this kind of stuff a lot. Only buy this game if you like being frustrated over broken mechanics.

The game developers clearly took a lot of time with world building and lore. Thats great, what they didnt take a lot of time with was their combat system. Most of combat is percentage based which is hilarious. I don't think any of the devs understand how math, percentages, stats work etc. You will have constant and back to back 80% missed hits in a single fight. Not only in one fight be every fight you encounter in a 24 hour period. This is legit statistically less likely than winning the lottery but dont worry itll happen almost ever fight for your 70 hour experience. So anywho the devs shouldve maybe just wrote a book because they kinda suck at games.

Helldivers, we have a new enemy attacking on the cyber front. They call themselves Sony Entertainment. Don't be fooled brothers, they are Super Earth's greatest threat yet. We dive together or not at all. For Democracy! For Super Earth!

Update: Major order complete
We did it Helldivers! Super Earth is safe once more.

I served in the Marine Corps from 2012-2015 in 3/10 India battery. I have never went to combat so I will not pretend to know how accurate this game is in that regard. One thing I will say is the community is awesome. I join a match with 2-3 complete strangers, and maybe go through 1-2 matches with them. It feels like being back in the Corps. I dont spend a lot of time with these strangers, and in the context of my life I didnt spend a lot of time with my fellow Marines. Yet, I find the experience with these strangers to be comparable, on a smaller scale, as we all want to complete the mission and look out for each other. 10/10 would buy again.

crashes constantly

This game reminds me a lot of old arcade games. Nothing too complex, and nothing groundbreaking, but you get a ton of enjoyment out of it. The experience can be great solo or with friends, which is a real plus for me.
