I still replay this game every now and then. I think it's impressive even today with the enemy count. I really hope GOG can bring it back. I imagine the clips from the movie are a nightmare to license.

Huge fan of Paul Verhoeven's 1997 movie! Been playing this bad boy back when. The feeling of being assaulted by hundreds, if not thousands, of Warrior Bugs rivals the intense action of the movie. Also, the lighting and level art greatly enhances the movie-like atmosphere. Since it’s been over two decades, I’m curious to find out how the developers handled the franchise, particularly its satirical nature. Don’t you wanna know more? Still own the german Collector’s Edition, but I’ve been trying to get it to run on different operating systems (Win7, Win10, and now Win11) without success. Please consider remastering the game!

This is actually an Excellent but forgotten FPS with hundreds of bugs on screen. Your rifles mostly carry hundreds of rounds just like the movie. Still one of the best Starship troopers game ever made. Love this game! Story is actually really good as well.

This game was always out of my reach as a kid, Starship Troopers movie is one of my favorite movies of all time so I nearly killed my PC trying to get this game running on my PC 3 years ago, it would be a dream come true to have this work on my current PC so I can finally live my dreams of slaying bugs in a single player capacity, if this becomes a reality we truly are living in the good timeline and I'll pay anything for this game

I met this game thanks to a gameplay on youtube, around 2008-2009, being my first contact with something related to Starship Troopers. To this day I usually replay it from time to time despite certain flaws it has. Although I have to admit that this game feels better than Extermination itself, great hordes of bugs, scenes that remind a lot to the first movie, it is a good fps that although, it could not compete with titles of that time, it is one that is worth playing and more if you love this franchise. Soundtrack that respects the first movie, gigantic scenarios, simple but good story for the type of game it is. I'm doing my part! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
