Helldivers 2: Breaking Records and Expectations

Screenshot from Helldivers 2Helldivers 2, the popular extraction shooter game, is having quite a successful week. It has managed to surpass the concurrent Steam players records previously held by GTA V.

This unexpected success has been embraced by players and critics alike. The success of the game is having a ripple effect, leading to a resurgence of interest in the 1997 film Starship Troopers, a key inspiration for Helldivers.

The Influence of Starship Troopers on Helldivers 2

According to Johan Pilestedt, CEO of Arrowhead Studios, the popularity of Starship Troopers has skyrocketed to become the 45th most popular movie online. This surge in popularity coincides with the release of Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 begins on Super Earth, a planet where democracy has been upgraded to a managed form, leading to more predictable elections. Players fight against the Terminids, an alien race of insectoid creatures, and other enemies to spread democracy across the galaxy.

Starship Troopers and Helldivers: A Shared Vision

Starship Troopers and Helldivers share a similar vision of spreading humanity's unique approach to freedom across the galaxy. Helldivers drew heavily from Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi epic, although the political undertones of the film were often misunderstood at the time of its release.

The Original Starship Troopers Novel

Starship Troopers is based on the novel of the same name by Robert A. Heinlein. The book's politics are ambiguous and have been described as "fascist" by some critics. Heinlein's own political leanings, which ranged from liberal to libertarian, are reflected in the book.

Despite the controversy, the novel and the film continue to inspire creators like the team behind Helldivers 2, proving that great art can transcend time and medium.
