Starship Troopers: Terran Command News

Upcoming tactical RTS Starship Troopers: Terran Command wants you to live forever

Starship Troopers is a strange license. The book is considered a classic in science-fiction literature, but the original film is the real gem and one of the finest things ever to have graced the earth. Don't at me.

Later films have been inconsistent, but there's not been much in the videogame world especially in the land of strategy games. The most notable release was Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy back in 2000. It was a tactical RTS game that was certainly fun, but a bit rough around the edges even by the standards of the time.

Towards the end of 2019 we were told that Slitherine are working on a Starship Troopers game of their own called Starship Troopers: Terran Command. It's another real-time tactical romp featuring a single-player campaign inspired by the original film spanning 21 missions. You will take part in the iconic attack on Klendathu, but spend most of your time on a new planet called Kwalasha created specifically for the game. You must take charge of the military forces on this vital outpost, and defend it from a growing Arachnid threat.

UPDATE FROM FEDERAL NETWORK

[h3]The pandemic has sent more bugs our way.[/h3]

When we first announced Starship Troopers: Terran Command in December 2019, FedNet soon became overwhelmed by the response and interest from people all over the globe who added it to their wishlists.

Therefore, the Federal Council authorized allocating additional resources toward development to ensure the quality of the game will meet fans' expectations.

Then the pandemic hit the team hard, compromising efficiency and disrupting plans for mobilizing a launch in 2020.

As a result of these factors, the game has now been moved to the second quarter of next year, but don't despair as you will soon be able to do your part with a chance to enlist in the closed beta tests. Join the Mobile Infantry and save the world. Service guarantees citizenship.

Slitherine to debut new PC game "Starship Troopers - Terran Command" in 2020

Slitherine LTD, the world’s leading publisher of digital wargames and strategy games, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, announced today “Starship Troopers - Terran Command”, a real time strategy game based on TriStar Pictures’s iconic 1997 movie to be released for PC in 2020.

“If you take one of the most iconic movies from the 90s and shape it into a strategy game of survival, that mixes classic real-time mechanics, tower defense and tactical deployment of units then you have ‘Starship Troopers - Terran Command’ in a nutshell”, says Iain McNeil, Development Director at Slitherine. “Modern strategy games are fast-paced and they successfully blend unit management, survival and captivating storytelling. Nothing is more suited to this type of gameplay than the Starship Troopers universe, where there is a continuous sense of danger and uncertainty”.

Set in the same universe of the original movie, “Starship Troopers - Terran Command” drops players right at the heart of a human colony overrun by the Arachnids. They must take the fight into bug territory, where they will lead an army of elite soldiers to defeat the alien menace. They will deploy their units in strategic locations to cover vital choke-points, build defence emplacements, and achieve superior firepower through the tactical use of elevation levels.

“When creating this game, we aimed to capture the essence of the original movie and its universe. This is not only achieved by creating a coherent set of units and scenarios, but also by mimicking the language, visual elements, dialogues and the little details that made the film such an iconic, cult feature.”, Iain McNeil continues.

Slitherine is also a core strategy games publisher though and that doesn’t go away. This is why the British publisher is working with strategy games developer The Artistocrats to create a product that features complex mechanics, deep gameplay systems and a wide variety of options to turn a fast-paced strategy game into a mind-bending experience that involves multiple solutions to a very basic problem: to kill a lot of bugs.

The Artistocrats are the Belgian development studio behind the Order of Battle series and Commander: the Great War. Studio owner and lead designer Lukas Nijsten has been working on “Starship Troopers - Terran Command” for over two years now. The game is set to release in 2020.
