Starship Troopers is a satirical movie (and less satirical book) that examines how fascist dictatorships drive young people into the meat grinder—waging pointless war across the galaxy, sending poor souls deep into the heart of an insectoid hive to meet a horrific death for basically zero reason. Helldivers 2 slightly undercuts this satire by making that experience kinda awesome.
I hopped into the new update, Into the Unjust, to see what the new "hive worlds" had to offer—and they're just as revolutionary to the game as the city maps were. Typically, Helldivers 2 sees you fighting in sweeping combat zones where airborne bombardments are a constant threat, whether from your enemies or your squadmates.
