Starship Troopers: Terran Command

Starship Troopers: Terran Command is a competent asymmetrical RTS, but its only substantial mode is a single-player campaign that takes a while to warm up.

A solid, slightly chaotic RTS that nails some satisfying tactical stand up bugfights, but could use a little more bite

Starship Troopers: Terran Command is most certainly the game of the film. It gives off the same feel like the film and sticks very close to the source material with the use of bugs, the actions of the empire and the tactics of the Mobile Infantry; all that is an unequivocal positive. However, there are a few issues in gameplay. It feels like an older strategy game than it is, lacking some modern sensibilities, limited game modes, and featuring poor pathfinding. Still, despite these issues, it is a genuinely fun and strategic title that fans of the franchise will thoroughly enjoy, and general strategy fans should also enjoy.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command isn't a revolution in the RTS genre, but it is a highly stylized, well-designed tribute to the film's universe. If you enjoy tactical challenges, making the most of the terrain, and strategically placing your units, you're sure to enjoy this game. However, if you're expecting deep strategic options, you might be a little disappointed.

Starship Troopers - Terran Command Terran Command is impressively faithful to its classic '90s sci-fi source material and a solid space adventure in its own right.

As long as expectations are not kept high, TBS lovers should definitely give a chance.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command tries to stay as original to the source material as possible, but that proves to be a hurdle when it comes to experimentation with game mechanics. It seems like very basic point-and-click tactics more than an actual strategy game, since there is little strategy involved in this game other than finding the right unit combinations to counter enemies and using unit abilities at the right time. This is one “real-time strategy game” I’d recommend people to stay away from – there are tons of better real-time strategy games to try out.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command is a fairly enjoyable RTS romp that can be pleasantly challenging at time. Just be aware that the game can get quite buggy... however this time they are the good kind.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command is a damn fine landing on the strategy genre planet.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command brings combat-focused real-time strategy, offering a lot for little. With few flaws and several virtues, if you are a fan of the franchise it should be a safe purchase.
