Truly Fantastic.

A fantastic space-set twin stick shooter.

Helldivers Review

Few games simultaneously emphasize the comfort of co-operative multiplayer and the bitterness of defeat quite like Helldivers . The relentless top-down shooter throws everything but the kitchen sink at players and requires careful teamwork at all times.

A great co-op experience; both online and local; Stratagems; Friendly fire encourages teamwork; Galactic campaign; Cross-buy support

Stratagems; Lackluster cosmetics/perks; Very difficult

Up, down, left, right, left, down, dead – Helldivers Review

Helldivers doesn't quite capture the intensity and brutality of the many galactic battles we see in films like Starship Troopers or Aliens, but it makes a decent effort. From Arrowhead Game Studios (the makers of Magicka) comes a bread-and-butter top-down shooter that has a few kinks and twists...

Polished; content-heavy shooter action; Captures Magicka's essence in a brand new setting; Solid co-op fun

The gameplay gets repetitive in large doses; Abundant nickel-and-dime DLC; Solo experience is lacking
