Helldivers is a game where you play in a squad of 1-4 (solo, friends, or it'll pair you with randoms) to drop down to planets and try to survive against bugs or automatons while completing some objectives.

Wait... that's just Deep Rock Galactic!

It's very similar in a lot of good ways.

Always found DRG to be a bit boring. I know thats hearsay but Helldivers just feels a lot more alive

[–] Sylvartas 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

DRG can be hard but you can basically control every important combat variable. Helldivers gets super chaotic which makes for some really funny/awesome/desperate moments

Think you hit the nail on the head. The tension is far greater in Helldivers. I never really felt stressed in DRG… it was more zen.

[–] Sylvartas 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, same here. I love both games but DRG satisfies my need to execute/show off with perfect maneuvers and optimize the hell out of every movement or action (both as an individual inside a team, and as a team when everyone coordinates on more "important" stuff).

Whereas helldivers is basically designed so you can definitely "play well" and have more impact, but also, unless you're some god gamer, some stuff is gonna go completely sideways sometimes. Which also means that impactful suicidal plays can absolutely be valid !
