The mech was soon aflame, having taken loads of damage from a tentacled hellbeast, and it exploded, killing you to bits. They are, as you said at the time, very much like Warhammer 40,000 Dreadnoughts in appearance rather than anything from the Battletech end of the mechtrum. That’s tricker than it sounds because the mechs turn REALLY slowly, creaking and hissing. You’d deployed a mech and were stomping around battering aliens left, right and centre. Especially when it's impossible.Īdam: From our session earlier today, one sequence around thirty seconds long encapsulated just about everything I like about the game. It is VERY IMPORTANT to emerge triumphant. The consequences are never especially harsh, but the idea that you must win any situation - that you must bring “Managed Democracy” to these various alien worlds is absolute. It’s about getting yourself into a terrible state then trying to find a desperate way out of it. But it manages to be bloody brutal as well as Pop: the operative term is, as you mention, panic. It’s so Pop! which is exactly what I needed after the year of heavy duty fare like the Witcher 3 and Fallout 4. I’d for some reason had it in my end that it was some hyper-precise aeroplane-based shmup, which I think is because the logo looks quite a bit like Luftrausers, so the discovery that it’s sort of Destiny Does Alien Breed was delightful. The game’s an enormously pleasant surprise anyway, especially one to end the year with. I think I like it rather a lot.Īlec: I am also extremely in favour of ‘helldive’ becoming a verb. It involves friendly fire, d-pad combos, mechs dropping from alien skies, ammunition shortages, panic, awesome motorbikes and death. To be clear about this, Helldivers is a cooperative game, from the creators of the original Magicka. Bugs that tore our starship troopers into pieces. Where hell is understood to be one of several planets occupied by hostile forces. I think I am the worst Helldiver.Īdam: Helldiving is the act of diving into hell.
