About this Game:
The Galaxy's Last Line of Offence. Enlist in the Helldivers and join the fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in a fast, frantic, and ferocious third-person shooter.
I would say not really, unless you happen to find some randoms that are good and use mics. Otherwise the game feels overwhelming and chaos.
There is no story. There are only so many different missions which you basically keep doing to unlock gear, etc.. You can't play the game only on lower levels in order to unlock everything, there is stuff locked behind some stuff that can only be obtained in lvl 7+ difficulty.
I'll say this, there's a noticeable gap between players that play difficulty 7+ and those that play below that. They're much more organized, communicate/ping well, and just have a better grasp of what to do and not to do; i.e. not shooting at every single enemy patrol.
Sounds counterintuitive, but I find difficulty 7 easier and much more enjoyable than 6. 8 and 9 are just chaos and there's no avoiding it.
This game reminds me of couch co-op games. It's so much fun, even with random players. I'm close to 40 and try to play 30 minutes to an hour each day. It's such an easy game to pick up and play a round or 2.
How much would a basic PC cost that could run this?
You can run this on a steam deck. https://www.protondb.com/app/553850 those can be had for around 300 refurbished direct from valve (low settings will get you 30-40fps on it).
If you build a rig you want at least a 2060 or 6600xt and 16gb of ram (cpu i7 9700) PC part picker will tell you cost.
I've seen HD2 at 29 dollars at a legit seller and this is a pretty commonly sold at this price or slightly cheaper at other key stores. Not a deal imo.
This isn't really a deal. It has been sitting at or below $34 since December, before it was even released, at legit resellers. If legit are at $34, $32 at cdkeys is not a deal. No hate on cdkeys, its just generally they run much cheaper than legit key stores and that's a noteworthy deal. https://isthereanydeal.com/game/h...2/history/
I bought this yesterday. This game is fun, but I think it's over hyped. I dig the star ship troopers ripoff theme, though it doesn't do it as well as starship troopers. It's much more stupid.
It is pretty much the exact same game as deep rock galactic. Slightly more gunplay focused and less ability focused, however. If possible, try both and pick which one you like more. Having both feels redundant.
Join the reddit group. Use the lfg mega thread or play with two other friends.
When I first joined as level 1 game 1 I got tk at extraction when going quick play, I so confused. since then then I mostly play with friends and it's been fun to chat about it in real life. now at 14 I generally hold my own when playing with random. the secret is when you get to level 5 you unlock the shotgun, it makes game easier

Came here to say this. I think I got it at $33. It'll be a deal once it gets to the $20s. But also keep in mind cdkeys doesn't charge tax.

It's a great game, even better with a solid group. Probably one of the best releases of the year.
