What is HellDivers 2?

[Doctor Tree]

A Massive Horde shooter?
A Tower Defense game?
A Stealth game?

I'm about to blow your mind.
Have you heard of a platform named "Youtube"?
You can watch videos there, and I'm almost certain, someone uploaded gameplay of Helldivers 2 there.

Gonna blow YOUR mind - see that little mouse icon next to IButterz's name? That means they own the game.

None of the above. Part of the problem is people have the expectations it should play like these genres.

It's a game intended and designed to kill you wherever it has the chance. Everything is against you and you have to play smart and as a team.

This ain't L4D, Destiny, Gears of War, Borderlands, Halo nor DOOM.

sci-fi, 3rd person shooter, 4 player coop, drop in/out, procedural generated campaign

Massive Horde Shooting and Stealth don't mix very well, just for every evac/mission objective to end in Tower Defense style.

Its literally turned into Stealth around everything not using a single resource until you have to defend an area.

its gotten incredibly boring.

According to Steam...

The Galaxy’s Last Line of Offence. Enlist in the Helldivers and join the fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in a fast, frantic, and ferocious third-person shooter.

objective based co-operative shooter with contextually dynamic hordes that respond based on player(s) actions and reactions

im being incredibly reductive for the sake of explaining the "core loop" of gameplay

What about the hordes that spawn in your face? very very dynamic when you spent the last 20 minutes sneaking to your objective.

you can criticize the devs for making that bit a valid means of spawning, it isnt!
