Helldivers 2 is a third-person co-operative team shooter for PS5 and PC, where players join forces to defend their home planet, Super Earth, against alien threats. The game features intense combat, customizable loadouts, and strategic collaboration between team members. Friendly fire is always on, adding an element of challenge and hilarity. The game is inspired by real-life military experiences and merges it with combat against extraterrestrials. The original Helldivers, an overhead twin-stick shooter, served as inspiration for the game's core mechanics and progression loop. Players can call in various stratagems during gameplay and wield overpowered weapons to take down enemies. The game requires PlayStation Plus for online multiplayer.
