Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!

Im from Henry Nowak and I say kill em all

This game is immense fun, its basically a game where you play it as a training simulator before being shipped off to the real bug war. This is why the humans are 2d sprits and everything else is 3d. The cuts scenes in-between missions are also fun to watch and there are random adverts as well. I played it on veteran and it is quite a challenge. 10/10

This one is very much for the fans of Starship Troopers. It borrows here and there from the movies and the anime, without acknowledging the more outlandish aspects of later live action movies, not the book. So no planet destroying bombs and no Sky Marshall except Diennes even if Juan Rico does hold the grade of General and has the eyepatch. As a game ST:UBW is fine, it's not going to reinvent the wheel and its also not all that memorable apart from the levels that directly reference the first movie like Camp Curry (Basic training), Zegama Beach, Klendathu and Planet P. 10/10 for nostalgia hit 5/10 gameplay. BTW: Yes it is possible to duplicate the grenade scene from the first movie, it takes some effort though.

This really is the ultimate Bug War! I love the 2D and 3D Mix it's so good. The action and missions never bore me. I can play this forever because: I'M DOING MY PART!

YES

its absolute peak

It plays like a forgotten console fps from 2003 and I mean that in the best possible way. Ultimate Bug War has charm and soul and knows what it is and makes a fun game out of it. Human gameplay is monster shooting on big battlefield 2142 maps with a dash of unit strategy and strikes. Bug gameplay is more strategy focused in general and requires a little bit of thought as you heard small bug waves towards human controlled objectives. and just steamroll them. Both are great but I do enjoy the Human campaign more though. Also for a modern game to have two female leads and somehow make me NOT shoot my monitor is a testament to the writing and voice acting. Which isn't amazing but it's decent and pulpy fun and it works. Game has some flaws though. It's a little rough around the edges in general. the hard difficulty is pretty easy while very hard feels like an untested nightmare. Controlled Troopers are a terrible enemy and make things not fun when they just pop up. There's bugs with the call in strikes, both friendly and enemy ai just shut off sometimes or ignore you all together. And while the writing and performances are entertaining the story is disjointed and sudden. It's explained as the game being an in Verhoeven Troopers universe videogame and it's broken up by charming and somewhat awkward skits depicting real life Dietz and Rico and others selling products or talking about the game but the plot in game focuses on the first bug war and going mission to mission just feels messy. With most things glossed over or flat out ignored and two levels in particular kind of making me wish they just stayed on plot. The human campaign is also fairly short with a base run being around 4 hours. Maybe a couple more missions would of been better or a maybe a co-op horde mode? Anyway this is a fun game. I enjoyed my time with it and I do recommend. Hopefully after Boltgun 2, Auroch will grace us with a sequel. One with co-op and a greater focus on the strategy stuff.
