Even with Helldivers 2 out, this game still has a reason to play it. If you have a lower end machine, don't have $40 to spend, or simply prefer the top-down camera angle instead of third person, feel free to check out this game.

Pretty good game, they should make a second one. Make it 3rd person instead of top down. They could call it something like Helldivers: Back 2 Hell, or maybe just Helldivers 2. I bet it'd have huge potential.

This is the only Helldivers available to buy and play in my country so that's an immediate thumbs up.

I was curious after watching a lot of Helldivers 2 gameplay so I wanted to check and try the original myself, and I'm surprised at how good it is! Truly a hidden gem in the realm of it's genre.

A friend gifted me this game (and it's DLCs) after I played the sequel, and I gotta say it's pretty darn good. It's an older game, but it doesn't feel dated. I enjoy that missions are much shorter than HD2, and Samples aren't as much of a pain or priority to collect. There's no common, rares or supers here, just "samples", and that's fine with me.
The only bad thing I can say about the game right now is that it's player base is significantly smaller than HD2, but that isn't the game's fault, just the cruel flow of time. It's much simpler than it's sequel, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Sometimes less is more. It's still got the Helldivers spirit.
FOR SUPER EARTH!

Came from the second game, very similar but very different at the same time. Can be enjoyed in small bouts unlike HD2, most missions take a max of 10 mins. Being able to upgrade individual weapons and stratagems is great. Worth a try if you're coming over from the second game.
