About Starship Troopers: Extermination

Starship Troopers: Extermination drops up to 16 players straight into the fight against the Bug menace in a cooperative first-person shooter set on the hostile planet Valaka. You suit up and ship out as a Trooper in the Deep Space Vanguard, an elite Special Forces group within the Mobile Infantry, tasked with battling hundreds of bloodthirsty insectoid aliens and reclaiming fallen colonies for the Federation. As the game's mantra puts it, the only good Bug is a dead Bug.

No Trooper stands alone here. From the moment the dropship hits dirt, your trusty Morita Assault Rifle and your fellow Deep Space Vanguard Troopers are all that keeps you alive on the surface. Squads work together to complete objectives, acquire resources, build and defend a base, and then escape to the extraction point as a unit, making teamwork the backbone of every mission on PC.

The indie shooter builds its co-op around a handful of clear systems. Sixteen players can team up in squads of four, choosing from three playable classes, Assault, Support, and Defense, to match their preferred role and back up the rest of the squad. You construct defenses like walls, towers, and ammo stations using resources gathered from planetside refineries, and a class progression system unlocks new weapons, equipment, and perks over time.
