I probably should have been more specific in that I'm surprised it took a studio this long with the Starship Trooper's license to build something with similar FPS gameplay and mechanics as Helldivers 2.

I know the book (great) and movie (entertaining af verhooven at his best) predate Helldivers.

I probably could have worded things better sorry for the confusion.

Ah but I was saying that even this game predates helldivers 2. It's been in early access for quite some time

I must confess that I haven't read the book but I had heard the tone is not quite the same

It's been in EA since early last year at least

I know, cause I bought it when it first released into EA.
