HELLDIVERS 2 has not been a topic for us at IndieGala. It’s understandable since it’s a fairly new release. However, the previous Helldivers game has, and it was one of our most interesting writings. The article was all about the exploration of military science fiction through movies, and you can check it out here.
But we’re here specifically about Helldivers 2 and Helldivers 2 alone.
Oh and the Helldivers 2 Super Citizen Edition which you can purchase here. If you’re not particularly interested in this edition, then just go ahead and grab the regular game. It’s available here at IndieGala, and so are the previous Helldivers packs and editions here.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite
It’s a cooperative third-person survival game set in the iconic Alien Universe. A game that’s a standalone sequel to the original Alien trilogy and more in line with Aliens: Colonial Marines.

And in it, you assume the role of a Colonial Marine on board the UAS Endeavor. A spaceship tasked with responding to a distress call from the outer colonies.
