The actual answer is that everyone should play Earth Defence Force (they just announced EDF 6), which I feel was a big inspiration for helldivers 2 bugs.

Imagine if palworld devs create a copy of this one among all the ruckus

You don’t think Starship Troopers may have had an influence on either of those games?
Because there’s actually a couple Starship Troopers games now.

Oh yeah definitely, Starship troopers is a huge influence to both, I don’t disagree at all, the Starship troopers games seem to be a bit more serious and gritty in comparison to edf though. I’d say the gameplay in helldivers is very EDF also with the huge big swarms and over the top weapons.

I much prefer the extremely deliberate aiming and the heavily physics influenced combat of Helldivers. Just makes it feel a lot deeper than EDF that sort of makes up for that granular detail by instead being extremely arcadey and over the top in its weapons and class abilities.
They play quite differently even though they have some surface similarities, but EDF is indeed also awesome and I wish it was more popular.

The RTS is awful though.

Isn’t that just Deep Rock Galactic?

I dunno, I don’t think the game would benefit from flat combat and meanigless crafting grinds.

I'd be down to give Hellpals a try.
