A fun 16-player Starship Troopers FPS/RTS hybrid was nowhere on our 2023 bingo card, but we'll take it.
, and co-op fare like Deep Rock Galactic and Payday—I had to see what Extermination was all about. Turns out it's a promising foundation for future fort building and bug gut splattering.
With the other mode, ARC, you'll be building a base from the start. You'll skitter all over the map to run missions similar to the ones in AAS, but you'll be repeating them a lot. The resources you gather are spent to construct things before defending your base like in AAS. ARC matches are often way longer—over an hour in a few cases—as we slowly dragged back canisters of resources to afford to get walls and bunkers built.
The three classes available—Hunter, Bastion, and Operator—each have a unique ability, and a few choices of accessories and perks. With the Hunter moving faster and packing a jetpack to leap skyward on a short cooldown, they put the mobile in the mobile infantry, but so far only have access to the standard three rifle variations .
Extermination has some rough spots: my fps dropped hard when things got really hectic, and I frequently lamented small design decisions—like how the ore gathering had a long cooldown where myself and my fellow troopers would be standing around doing nothing. But even while playing without friends, I was having a good time leaping to the walls to mow down waves of incoming bug.
