Slitherine Software :

The Mobile Infantry fights everywhere, including hell! The new major single-player expansion Raising Hell for the popular RTS Starship Troopers: Terran Command has been released today on Steam by publisher Slitherine and developer The Artistocrats.  
Raising Hell players will not only experience a new rich story-driven single-player campaign, with seven detailed missions set on the fiery volcanic planet of Gehenna, but also discover a roster of new units and mechanics.


To Hell and Back

Gehenna, the hellscape central to Starship Troopers: Terran Command - Raising Hell is prime real estate. A massive stream of space freighters feed from Vilon Station, located high above the lava and flames of Gehenna’s surface. A nexus in mining and trade, the fiery planet is critical to the Federation’s war efforts. With Arachnid infestation rising sharply, the contracted mercenary groups are no longer sufficient for protection. The Mobile Infantry is once again called upon to deploy. This time, it's to take control of Gehenna and safeguard humanity’s future by exterminating loads and loads of nasty new Bugs!


Taking Charge

In Starship Troopers: Terran Command - Raising Hell, players will take charge of some exciting fresh Mobile Infantry forces, including the new Powered Suit Incinerators and Powered Suit Officers, and gain access to Mercenary units, from tough mini-gun equipped Shredder Mercs to Engineering Bipeds with their powerful drills. The Arachnids, too, have evolved in the harsh environment to spawn new units. These include nimble Stingers shooting superheated projectiles, airborne Pyroflies, and the monstrous Immolator, which can explosively burst when mortally wounded.


Only a Dead Bug

Starship Troopers: Terran Command puts the player in charge of do-or-die Federation forces in a brutal war against the Arachnid aliens. Officially licensed with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, the game is set in the much-celebrated sci-fi world of the 1990s film cult classic.


Critical Acclaim

Starship Troopers: Terran Command’s release in 2022 saw a surge in popularity and critical acclaim, with over 88% of positive player reviews on Steam. One of the greatest successes for creators Slitherine and The Artistocrats, the real-time strategy game has been actively supported since launch with a series of free updates, including a new powerful unit, new “Chemical Reaction” levels including new units, Steam Achievements, and an in-depth Scenario Editor with Steam Workshop support. Reflecting on the game's journey, the developers of Starship Troopers: Terran Command proudly shared some impressive statistics, highlighting the success they've achieved over the past year.
