    Неплохая игрушка, довольно простенькая, но интересная. Фанатам фильма крайне рекомендую.

    A really enjoyable game for anyone also traumatised by the brain bug in the 1997 movie.

    Well, to be honest it's not "That" bad but it's rather a mixed bag of fairly good and failed elements altogether. To be fair, this game was delayed and it shows.
    For the game this is what stood out for me:
    The pathfinding is horrendous, and the responsiveness of troops is all but fine too (get over here damn it, no wa.. aahh sh*t) Oh great, there goes half of my army.. There's NO GORE..

    There's NO GORE.. (nor does it have persistent bodies/corpses or destructible environments)
    The Dev defends this by saying there is, but honestly you can't see any limbs flying, heads being ripped off, innards being torn out etc. Nothing of which the movie made it so epic for me personally. Yes, of course it's perfect for 5-8 year olds but that's far below my 'current' mental status (so no, i'm not amused).
    The bugs are mindless critters that always follow the same predictable routes and can't even climb cliffs in order to flank or surprise you!! How is this even possible in 2022?!
    The combat is bland and boring.. The best troops are only available to you near the end of the game (makes kinda sense). However most of the other units are just meh, and you can't create a bond with them since they're totally expendable and don't traverse from mission to mission!! (And they don't shut up ever!! Repeating those same APE-ish lines over and over!!)
    The same goes for the 'repeating' missions.. You either defend or clear caves, and that's basically it for 15-20 hours.
    No space battles, no real sense of greater or off-worldly events, thus making you feel bored and annoyed rather quickly impo.
    There's no real base building, however you can construct some turrets here and there (don't expect much from it tho).
    The game has a fairly good story campaign, and the narration is not bad.. Although i hate it (absolutely hate) it that missions are cut short because of that!! When things get fun, it comes to an abrupt halt. Boom, mission over.. Good job!
    It mostly feels you're only playing half a game.. Where's the rest?! Credits rolling.. Okay, guess that's it!
    Graphically and musically wise it's an okay game, nothing to write much about either.
    It does the job, albeit simplified and not without the occasional glitch here and there..
    There's no point playing it more than once tbh, although the devs have revealed that more content is on the way (skirmish and whatnot)..    … Expand

    The quality of fan service is simply breathtaking, so it’s a must for any fan of the cult classic movie. Still, as a game, Terran Command offers nothing new. Even less, in fact: there’s no multiplayer, map editor or even a skirmish mode, so once you’re done – you’re done. [Issue#260, p.54]

    A strategy equivalent of a summer blockbuster, wiped from your memory as soon as the credits start rolling. It’s not as intense as Verhoeven’s movie, not as varied or expensive as other games in this genre, a simplified Company of Heroes, if you will.

    Starship Troopers - Terran Command Terran Command is impressively faithful to its classic '90s sci-fi source material and a solid space adventure in its own right.
