Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 is a third-person cooperative shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Set in a satirical, militarized future, players serve as elite soldiers of Super Earth, deploying across hostile planets to spread "managed democracy" and defend humanity from alien threats. Missions emphasize squad-based tactics, careful positioning, and coordinated use of stratagems such as orbital strikes, supply drops, and turrets, all while navigating intense enemy swarms and hazardous environments. The game features cross-play online co-op for up to four players, with a focus on friendly fire, high difficulty, and shared objectives on a persistent galactic war map. Player actions contribute to large-scale community campaigns that influence the ongoing conflict against multiple enemy factions. Helldivers 2 builds on the spirit of the original top-down shooter but shifts the action to an over-the-shoulder perspective, adding more immersive gunplay and spectacle while retaining the series’ trademark dark humor and emphasis on teamwork.
