Arrowhead (the creators of Magicka) shared plenty of details regarding Helldivers PC, which will be available on Steam starting from December 7 for a price of $/€ 19.99.
Helldivers first released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PS Vita; in case you're not familiar with it, the game is a cooperative twin stick shooter where players band together in order to defeat the enemies of mankind, liberating one planet at a time. Of course, being a game developed by Arrowhead, friendly fire is fully enabled. Here's a recap of the main features:
- Includes Masters Of The Galaxy, Turning Up The Heat and Democracy Strikes Back expansions.
- Up to 4 player local and online co-op multiplayer on STEAM.
- Full friendly fire - “accidentally” kill your friends, again.
- Rise through the ranks and call in devastating military support
- Community-driven galactic campaign.
- Non-linear mission structure.
- Procedurally generated levels - the universe is a large place.
- 100+ hours of gameplay
There's more, such as a pre-order trailer and system requirements for Helldivers PC, though I seriously doubt that anyone who bought a gaming PC in the last five years will have troubles running the game.
