The very first entry to the Helldivers series. The game's design is unique because of it's Top Down Shoot them up Real Time Strategy gameplay mechanics. I recently tried this game for 2 days on Solo. It was interesting initially but it slowly became a big struggle playing alone. Some enemies would overwhelm you easily if your primary weapons are not powerful enough to hold them off. Some aspect of the game I dislike,

1.) The grind / leveling consumes alot of your time and I mean ALOT of your time when you are fighting alone.

2.) The camera / crosshair aiming system is incredibly awkward. You can't see where your weapon is aiming when enemies are closing in on you from all directions.

Now to be fair this game is a 4 player Co-op experience design to be played with friends. Overall, the first game is okay. If you enjoy RTS games like Company Of Heroes or Warhammer 40,000, this game is for you.
