About the Starship Troopers Ultimate Bug War

Starship Troopers Ultimate Bug War is a single-player first-person shooter for PlayStation 5 built around a retro-style campaign against the Bugs. It leans on over 30 weapons and items, from the Morita rifle to mechanical bipeds and tactical nukes, and tells an original story with full-motion video scenes starring Johnny Rico and new hero Major Samantha Dietz. It suits fans of the films and of old-school run-and-gun shooters who want a campaign rather than multiplayer. Against modern squad shooters it is smaller in scope and has no online play, so its appeal rests on the campaign, the arsenal and the FMV.
