absolutely amazing co-op game of the likes of deep rock galactic and left 4 dead 2, but the publisher can lick my taint with the forced account linking.

EDIT: WE WON FELLOW HELLDIVERS! JOIN NOW TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD MANAGED DEMOCRACY!!!!

so yeah changing my review once more, the devs hate fun and are actively ruining the game. the game launched as a horde shooter at the same tier of left 4 dead/ deep rock galactic, one where you battle swarms of enemies using big guns and even bigger artillery, but what the devs apparently want is a disposable troop mil sim where you have to run from the hordes or die only to be forced to defend a point against waves of enemies, half of which are literally immune to all damage, armed with nothing but peashooters and the minute+ cool down stratagems, and the stratagems are not even guaranteed to kill half the time. and by the time you have killed one of these immortal enemies, 5 more have spawned along side 2 of the heavier units. this game is "balanced" around the lowest difficulty. getting stunlocked/ fail an objective because there were to many enemies that were literally impossible to damage is not fun, and playing on lower difficulties is not fun because it is incredibly boring as all they give you are weak enemies that are boring to fight. the heavies have near 0 counterplay except the bots with their vents( excluding the new update that added bots with NO weakpoints).


TLDR: dont buy this game untill after they deliver on their promises to stop making it worse, and dont buy it at all if they break those promises (again).
