Slitherine and The Artistocrats are proud to announce the release of the newest real-time strategy game set in the world-renowned Starship Troopers film universe, Starship Troopers: Terran Command.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command is a single-player, real-time strategy game based on the 1997 movie. In the game, you take command of the Mobile Infantry and do your part in the war against hordes of Arachnid enemies. By striking an effective balance between tactical superiority and strength in numbers, you can ensure that human civilization dominates the galaxy.

You can build, develop and control your armies and embark on an exciting military campaign. On your journey, you will meet unique characters, discover amazing locations and develop effective tactics with battle mechanics such as Terrain Elevation, True Line of Sight and True Line of Fire. Furthermore, an expansive range of unique units, weapons, and special abilities are at your disposal such as Fleet Liaison, Grenade and Rocket Turrets, Wavebreaker Mortar and Tactical Officer.

A good strategic position of your units, expanding base infrastructure and fleets of dropships will be the keys for victory.

Do your part against the Arachnids in this game full of explosions, gore and Bugs.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command is now available to be downloaded on Steam.

My biggest question about Starship Troopers Colon Terran Command was what tone it would strike. The RTS potential for an interplanetary ground war against overwhelming swarms of giant not-insects is obvious enough. But the dual spirit of most Paul Verhoeven films is a major reason that The Extraordinary Lust Of Dizzy (working title: Starship Troopers) still holds up 25 years on.

Terran Command understands that. Certainly it nods to the satire here and there, but mostly it focuses on the shooting and desperate defences and evacuations instead. This was the right decision. Though it's a little short on narrative flavour, unless you're really into exploring the setting, it's got enough tactical heft to make up for it.
