And while you can be recovered by a teammate if you’re playing co-op, you can also jam on the “X” button to patch yourself up. Instead, you’re just injured, and fall to the ground much like you did when you got hurt in the Gears Of War games and in the multiplayer modes of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and its sequels. Which is why I appreciate that, when you get shot in Helldivers, you don’t always die. But during the heat of battle, I still often found myself pulling the trigger three or four times before I remembered to reload. And yes, it is something that many people will get used to doing. It also doesn’t help that the arrow icons for these codes are small and light grey, so they often blend in with the background, while the icons for the kinds of drops available are also small, which makes it hard to distinguish the aerial strikes one from the reinforcements, especially during a firefight.īut what’s really frustrating about the shooting in Helldivers is that you have to manually reload your guns your soldier doesn’t automatically do it when you run out of bullets…y’know, like in almost every other shooter, top-down or otherwise. Except that when you want to ask for something, you have to punch in code using the D-pad, which makes this feels like busy work. As do the auto turrets, aerial strikes, and other helpful items you can have delivered. Granted, you can call in supply drops (which I’ll get to in a moment), or you can be more precise with your shots (though that’s easier said than done), but either way it’s still rare, and thus frustrating, that you begin a mission with enough ammo to complete it.Īs for those aforementioned ammo drops? Well, they certainly do help. No, the problem lies in the fact that your ammo is seriously limited. This, unto itself is not a problem, nor is it uncommon (though I will admit I prefer the former, which lets me go all Rambo). But while many top-down shooters fire automatically, this has you pulling the trigger to shoot. Like most games of this kind, Helldivers has you runnin’ with the left thumbstick and gunnin’ with the right one. Helldivers tasks you with invading enemy planets so you can set up automatic defensives, take over points of strategic importance, and complete other tasks that largely involve you shooting anything that moves. But I really wish the good people at Arrowhead Game Studios had never read that book because it’s actually the small stuff that ruins their new game, the arcade-style, top-down, sci-fi shooter Helldivers ( PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Vita). Stay tuned for more details and we’ll share them here at Shacknews as they drop.In 1997, writer and motivational speaker Richard Carlson released his now wildly popular self-help book Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff…And It’s All Small Stuff. Helldivers 2 is supposed to drop on PS5 and PC sometime in 2023, but we don’t know exactly when yet. It may be changing up a bit, but based on the trailer, it looks like Arrowhead still has a good handle on mixing zany chaos into good third-person co-op shooter gameplay. We featured the game this very year in a Big Team Building livestream and had an absolute blast even 8 years later. It’s also remained as one of the most chaotic and fun co-op shooters around. The original game came out in 2015 and has seen a wealth of content expansions following its release. You can see the debut trailer for the game below.Ī new Helldivers game was a delightful and unexpected surprise to say the least. That said, you’re still gunning down bugs with your friends and calling in all sorts of fortified military ordinance to get the job done, all while trying not to decimate your teammates or get decimated by your foes in the process. The camera is set behind players this time in a third-person shooter format. It looks like it will be very similar, and yet quite a bit different in a few ways from the previous game. The game is slated to launch on PS5 and PC platforms sometime this year. Helldivers 2 was officially unveiled on the PlayStation Showcase 2023 presentation on May 24, 2023. What’s more, we’ll be launching into the fight for Super Earth sometime in 2023. Helldivers 2 will come to PlayStation 5 and PC. Now, Arrowhead Game Studios is returning to bring us a sequel on new platforms. Helldivers was a much beloved co-op shooter in 2015 and has brought plenty of players together to bring deadly diplomacy to the galaxy.
