Feels like just yesterday Arrowhead released their take on 'Gauntlet', but here they are - launching 'Helldivers' for Playstation consoles.

Looks really fun! Anybody giving this a try?

[Puddy]

Looks pretty fun. Dat satisfying combat tho.

 

I always forget I own a PS4... Thought I would miss this. I might check it out!

[DrywallDreams]

I'll probably pick it up over spring break, looks real fun.  Reminds me of Alien Swarm, but on crack.

I'm always unsure about buying indie titles on the PS4 because eventually I'll get them for free with PS Plus anyway :S

[Puddy]

Crap! Wanted to buy this. Release tomorrow in EU.

[AlexM]

Damn that is some satisfying shooting. 

[Puddy]

Bought it. Will try it tonight and I'll be back with a first impression!

[Vilham]

When I get a PS4 I'll give it a purchase.

Been playing this for a bit and it's a lot of fun. The basic combat loop just screams "fun!". It won't be a long-lasting game, but it's gonna be a fun ride. Coop is an absolute requirement!

After playing for a while now I can safely say: if you have more than 1 controller attached to your PS4, this game is a must. I'm gonna try to get a 4man coop night together in the near future, which I can only assume will be amazing. The game is very simple and relatively easy to pick up, but there's a lot of things to master and a lot of situational weapons and stratagems to play around with.

 

The only downside is the map variety. Most games feel kind of similar structurally, it would've been nice if they did some more radical shifts in how the missions play.

Played it a bit with a friend online a week or so back, was pretty good hectic fun, really like the sounds and feel of the shooting. I can only imagine the sheer madness that would ensue in a 4 player game tho

We should do a 3man.

This is out on PC, it's amazing, buy it etc.

I remember being generally interested… is it worth only in co-op?

[Puddy]

Not much fun playing solo, no. But playing with pubs is fun so you don't necessarily need your buddies to pick it up too.
