Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy is a real time strategy game based upon the novel by Robert A. Heinlein. This game is not based on the Starship Troopers movie, which is also based on the book.
This is one of the few strategy games where you cannot build a base and recruit units. Instead you lead up to three squads into combat. Each squad contains a leader, five soldiers and one specialist (medic, engineer, PSI for detecting hidden bugs, MIST-Trooper as a sniper). During a mission there is no reinforcement and you are outnumbered by the bugs. The enemy units are not very intelligent, but they use their own special abilities like splitting acid and are very powerful. There is a wide range of enemies, from simple close-range fighters to suicide units, artillery bugs and even human soldiers. The mission objectives are also different. From simple hunting missions up to escorts or the capturing of bugs.
The game also has an RPG element. Surviving soldiers gain experience points, for each killed bug / destroyed bug holes. Soldiers then increase their stats and acquire higher ranks. Better battle suits (armor) and stronger weapons are only available for soldiers with high ranks. The basic soldier (called Cat Trooper) have no armor and is an easy prey for the bugs. Besides the experience points, you gather upgrade points for your equipment, e.g. increase the damage of the weapons. Another aspect of the RPG part is that you can equip each of your soldiers individually with up to two different weapons and two tech-items (like bombs or toxic gas).
The landscape graphics are low on details, which makes everything look post apocalyptic. Much better is the combat graphics and the explosions. The cutscenes are made with in-game graphics. Besides the sound effects, your soldiers all have a voice to confirm your orders.
