HELLDIVERS™ Dive Harder Edition Reviews

Short missions, hilarious moments, great top down action, simple, satisfying... its how dawn of war III should have been but never was. It is also better than running with rifles, and I do love that game. And gotta love the Star Wars references from republic commando in the DLCs. Got this gem 10 years late for less than 6€. But it is still well worth 20€ in 2025.

Old game from 2015, still fun as hell. If you find on discount, just get it. May also be worth full price depending how much you love the franchise or hardcore co-op action games.

great game, blew bugs into smitherines, blasted bots to the fucking moon, and put the illuminate to rest

A great version of HELLDIVERS, wherein you may dispense some good ol' managed democracy. The local coop is an amazing part of this game as well, so the whole family can gather together and eliminate some traitorous wrong-thinking aliens.

it's a really good game, but the raid bosses present a very large challenge even some of our best players struggle with so it's a pretty good game

Bought game again on PC to 100 percent the game again.... before I played it alot on PS4 and it was a great game highly doubt that has changed on PC HELLDIVERS 1 IS THE GOAT, time to run trident and huble bee UAV and grind this bitch

game is good!, its very fun and it still has a fairly big playerbase so id recommend it, come and spread freedom and managed democracy, become more than you are become a *legend* enlist today!

Not a Bad Game to Take on Sale if you like Top/Down Shooter Good A lot of fun with friends Can be played solo Can be played with random people and the community is surprisingly well behaved Initially there's a lot of variety (enemies, environments, weapons) and the progression system is very enjoyable (you unlock new equipment or perks very often) Friendly fire is awesome in this game, realistic and fun Amazing attention to detail and great use of realism to introduce difficulty - for example turning speed is lower when firing, you have to stop when you want to open the map (no persistent map overlay), you can't do any other action during weapon reload, you can shoot when bleeding on the ground but only from a small-arm pistol, etc Bad Once you unlock everything and play even the hardest difficulty missions (after 30-40 hours), there's little else to explore. The enemy variety is much smaller than it initially seems. You've basically seen everything once you played a difficulty 9+ mission. The environment has some variety (desert, volcanic, forest, snow, city), but they do not differ too much. For example I would expect shooting among and destroying the trees in the forest, or cracking the ice in a snow world. Nothing like that is there. The only visible change between the environment (except for snow/water surface) are volcanoes spilling lava. The objectives variation could've been higher. There are maybe 10 different objectives, which is fine, but I'd like to see more of them, more different, and some of them introduced just later in the game. The global war concept. On one hand, it's cool that all players contribute to a war, and it changes even without you playing (you come the next day and different sectors/planets are available). On the other hand, it prevents you from playing exactly the mission you want, and that's a huge disadvantage. The system isn't balanced properly, so one day the war ends, and on the next day it's not just that another war has started (that's obvious), but one of the factions might be already exterminated! Which means you'll be locked out of those missions (not be able to fight against that faction) for a few more days until a new war starts. Also, when we played Helldivers for the first time, we arrived at a point where only enemy home planets were available. So there were no missions where we could obtain new gear, which is essential on lower levels. This is very confusing for beginner players. I believe this game needs to give the player a choice whether they want to play the global war, or they just want to fire up a custom arbitrary mission with their friends, with no limitation. The pricing mode. Arrgh! This is as bad as some F2P titles on mobile phones. You can play the vanilla (no DLCs) version very well, initially. But later, once you're playing the hardest difficulty missions, you'll realize that some of those missions (especially the snow ones) are almost impossible to complete unless at least someone from the team has bought the right DLCs. As I and my 3 friends picked up just the vanilla version, we have basically just 2 options - decide to pay up just to be able to "finish" the game (complete the hardest missions together), or be screwed. To make this even worse, the developers decided to do a shameless money-grab from those who originally bought the vanilla version and want to buy the DLCs later - the vanilla game is €20, the deluxe version (all DLCs) is €30, but the DLC megabundle (available when you already have the vanilla game) is €20, so €40 in total (€10 more than the deluxe version). I extremely despise this, the only fair approach is to not put DLC players into advantage in a multiplayer title. This is the opposite - DLC players are in a big advantage, you're not even able to play some missions without DLCs, and buying the DLCs later milks you from more money than the deluxe version cost. I'm very angry about this. To be absolutely clear, I'm talking here mainly about All-Terrain Boots (snow missions are near impossible without them), UAV (makes equipment upgrading much faster), Demolisher Charges (much better against tanks than alternatives when soloing) and perhaps some other. My main gripe goes to the boots, though, because you'll feel cheated once you try snow maps on high difficulties without them.

just as good as the sequel and is most of the time 80% off. I NEED PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH GUYS IF YOU"RE READING THIS PLEASE BUY THIS GAME. (there is no more than 1k people playing at one time)

The battles are alow and far apart on the lower difficulty settings but once you hit thr higher levels, the difficulty is ramped up to crazy proportions. Where fire fights feel more cinematic than anything. Picking a load out of weapons you unlock as you progress are important since they can make or break a round you're playing. and ter fact you can jump in on another players game really helps build comradery than anything. Being a multi platform game really makes it interesting to see how others play. One side feels like a terminator movie, another side feels like Starship Troopers Stand up stand tall, defendrers of our super Earth Against the Terminid swarm, we'll shadow our valor's worth From the ashses of War, to the stars above we are the Heldivers, united by liberties love Oh super Earth our might sphere For you, we have no fear Heldivers march, the end is near For the Terminids, the final cheer Through the darkest night, our spirit never wanes for every fallen comrade, our resoleve remains we are the shield the sword, the keepers of the flame in the name of super Earth, her glory we maintain with ablaze and fists raised high we pledge to fight, to do or die For our beloved super Earth we 'll always strive as Heldivers for her we'll die super Earth, our eternal guide in your glory, we take pride Heldivers side by side Till peace in our time.
