Oh no, it´s not a twin stick shooter this time?!

I'm also kind of bummed by this but it's looking great so far. On the upside it will be much easier to rope my friends with more... pedestrian tastes in videogames into it

Yeah... It looks great regardless but it's quite different from the original helldivers. I'll have to get used to not being able to see everyone on screen and the game being heavily balanced around friendly fire.

The shared-screen twin-stick design is fine, but Arrowhead has been doing it since Magicka. This feel like them getting their shot at making a wider-appeal, bigger budget game. Hopefully they stick the landing and managed to keep the feel of the original while expanding the gameplay.

at least it's not a 60€+ title. Hope the rest of the features of the original are still in place.

Sweet, that'll be a good one for Linux/Steam Deck

Kind of disappointed it's not a twin stick, but hoping it is just as enjoyable as the first game.
