Helldivers is a top-down, cooperative, twin-stick shooter game that offers players the chance to take on the role of an elite soldier. Set in a dystopian future where players must work together to protect Super Earth and fend off invading alien threats, gameplay revolves around squad-based tactics, intense cooperative play, and strategic firepower management. The game emphasizes teamwork, coordination, and communication as players fight through challenging missions across various hostile alien environments.
