Starship Troopers: Extermination

This game was great at first but they have ruined it. Firstly the game ran better at launch compared to now. The game just constantly crashes on both singleplayer and multiplayer. 2 years worth of updates and its only gotten worse. I keep coming back hoping something has changed but it never does unfortunately. The devs seem more focused on adding things than they do fixing the issues they already have. The amount of problems I've had its just not worth it in my opinion. I'm not crapping on the game entirely however. When the game does work properly (Maybe 20% of the time) its fun and i do enjoy it. I really hope the devs decide to pull there heads out of whatever puddle they have it in and fix the game so its actually playable. I'm sorry but I'm not able to recommend something so broken in its current state.

Bought this game with three friends. We queued for 20 minutes and could not find or start a match. Steam wouldn't offer a refund for this. It is probably a dead game.

Bought it after release. It's been through some rough patches but it's getting better and better. I think the dev team is quite small and it takes time for them to "smash the bugs" and improve the game. It's a fun game. There are several gamemodes, although I think the most liked ones are ARC defense and Horde. If you want something that doesn't require too much tactical thinking you can jump in and just shoot the bugs as they come. You get a nice selection of weapons for that. Althout it can be played mindlessly, it's always better when people play together, help each other, especially the important classes like Medics and Engineers. Now that Marauders are also in the game, additional teamplay is also needed to keep them repaired and resupplied so their operators don't have to get out and load the machines themselves. But I think it's not a huge thing to ask, if you see a Marauder dishing out hate towards the bugs to just grab some ammo and resupply it. They are still tinkering (as of April 2026) with Arachnid numbers and what the servers can take which means you may encounter severe lag spikes. I don't really know what's the actual reason behind them because in one game it's awful then the other is smooth as butter. But if you experience lagging bugs, just look at your ping, if it's fine then the problem is not on your end. If the lag bothers you too much, join another session or wait until the next map rotation (every hour) and most of the time the lag will stop. PC specs are not too high, there were some optimization issues before, but nowadays it runs pretty well on my 7 years old potato pc. Tinkering with the settings might be needed if you play on older system. Wait time is on the longer side depending on when you play, it can regularly take up to 5 minutes to put you into a game, but it's worth the wait in my opinion. So yeah, recommended. Also, don't forget: "Service guarantees citizenship." :)

I like that it's a different 'grunt fantasy' from games like Helldivers. instead of small teams of 'elite' troopers, you are a true grunt, reliant on a large number of allied players to both succeed in the missions and keep you alive. It's very 'the floor is lava', if you haven't unlocked the skills and abilities to be on the ground, you better be up high, or you're just another dead trooper. :)

As a long standing fan, I am utterly disappointed. The fact that the DEV's have moved on and abandoned this game despite the crazy amount of bugs and crashes is astonishing. Dont get it twisted, THIS WAS A MONEY GRAB No my PC is not the issue I have a 5070 with i9, 4TB SSD with 128GB RAM I'm certain the game is the issue

True to the movie, fun classes, maps and missions. The sheer magnitude of bugs is an experience in itself. My favorite part is building a smart base and watching how my teammates utilize it, or watching how it holds up after a massive breach. Highly recommend for Starship Troopers fans and general PVE, FPS, base building fans. Also, with the correct in-game upscaler my NVIDEA 1060 3GB runs fairly well on low video settings.
