    Looks pretty lame to me. It doesn't embrace Heinlein's novel, where the Mobile Infantry are basically 40K space marines on crack bounding across entire planets with rocket packs and launching tac-nukes from their mobile armor, or the satire of the Verhoeven film.

    It's just Company of Heroes except you can only play as the Nazis.

      Whoa, why would you denigrate CoH like that? CoH is still leagues ahead of this shit. This just looks like one of those bargain bin RTSs from the early 2000s.

      Honestly they could also do John Steakley's Armor and pull a Spec Ops: The Line moment, but that wouldn't be profitable.

    I'm not sure whether I should be upset by the Starship Troopers media that completely misses the point or impressed by it

      It's not even hard if you goes by the OG movie. Like maybe a mission where you commits false flag attack using mind controlled bugs, or jokes about how your troops are underaged propagandized goons getting thrown in the the meat grinder casually.
