“Releasing a Starship Troopers – Terran Command demo at Steam Next Fest was a key decision in the development pipeline,” said David Sharrock, executive producer of the game, in the press release. Much of what you will experience in the demo will be setting up troops for defense, along with kicking Arachnid ass. Starship Troopers – Terran Command is a real-time strategy game. There, you must reactivate a nearby mining facility and “clear out all bug nests in the surrounding area.” It’s your typical smash and grab (and smash). However, the press release does go over the scenario called ‘Peace of Mine.’ During this mission, you guide your Mobile Infantry to a central outpost. One is apparently a secret, as the developer and publisher Slitherine didn’t go into any details. The demo introduces you to two scenarios in Starship Troopers – Terran Command. Starting October 1, you’ll get an entire week to smash and burn alien bugs on the game’s arid planet. Steam is doing its part, offering a demo for Starship Troopers during the upcoming Next Fest in October. But it looks like The Artistocrats’ bug-squashing vision is about ready to be experienced by everyone. It’s been nearly two years since the reveal of Starship Troopers – Terran Command.
