Description
: At the start of the game, the war is not going
well… the bugs are rampaging across Hesperus
- a planet perilously close to Earth. Colonised
by man, Hesperus was once a haven of earthly
tranquillity. Now, it is a terrifying battleground
where the weaknesses of an implacable foe must
be discovered and exploited.
Play as an Elite
Marauder Are you ready to join the 'Marauders'
- the elite 'Special Forces' of the Mobile Infantry?
Can you spearhead the assault against thousands
of intelligent enemy bugs? Can you retake planet
Hesperus, a Colonized Human mining planet, to
save the federation, crush the bug threat and
capture the Brain Bug. Defend your compound
against over 300 enemies coming at you simultaneously
each with their own AI, using a variety specialist
weapons, in these epic battles all made possible
by the unique SWARM game engine.
It's not been
possible before now to put this number of enemies
against you all at once. Huge Cinematic Battles
"Bugs sir - millions of them!" "How many millions
trooper?" You'll be fighting against hundreds
of enemies at once - just as in the movie you
will have to overcome wave upon wave of bugs.
From start to finish it features a mix of huge
real-time battles on an epic scale and solo
'infiltration' type missions.
There are varied
Combat Environments - Indoor and outdoor levels,
including the wide-open battlefields, a secret
laboratory, claustrophobic bug nests, abandoned
mines and lonely outposts. Weapons of Mass Destruction
The Marauders are armed with lots of explosive
weaponry. Weapons include the "standard" Morita
rifle (seen in the film) as well as the plasma
rifle, shotgun and rocket launcher, plus a variety
of new and exciting items such as intelligent
grenades and the infamous nuke launcher. You've
got to make sure you have the right weapon in
your hand when it comes to taking out the big
bugs.
A Brave New World
Not just limited by the locations seen in the
movie, the game will be spread across a variety
of internal and external environments on the
planet Hesperus. Missions range from huge battles
to small incursions behind enemy lines At last,
a first person shooter worthy of the Starship
Troopers film complete with warrior, tanker
and brain bugs; many of the film settings like
Whiskey Outpost and the tongue in cheek humour
from the grunts around you. All backed up by
Johnny Rico giving you your mission instructions.
Then you go beyond
the film into the wider Starship Troopers universe.
New Life As well as the Warrior, Hopper and
Tanker seen in the movie the game will feature
over 19 types of bug - all with their own unique
characteristics. Save humanity from the bug
threat and battle 19 types of arachnid enemies
on the strange alien planet through visually
stunning varied terrains, wide open landscapes
and claustrophobic tunnels across 12 levels.
They're up close and personal in your face mostly
2 to 3 meters away. And some of them are 10
metres tall!
