New Starship Troopers Demo Now Available
Grab a Rocket Launcher and Blast that Plasma
Bug, Marauder!
San Francisco and Minneapolis – Nov. 18, 2005 –
Empire Interactive and Destineer Studios have released a new playable demo of
Starship Troopers for the PC. The action takes place on what has become known
as Plasma Mountain. Baby Plasma Bugs on the ground are attacking your fleet and
have already taken out airborne cruisers. Federation pilots can’t get to the
massive Plasma Bug, hiding in deep cover in the mountain. First wave troopers
are down there, waiting for reinforcements. Your mission is to lead a force of
troopers in the assault to the summit to find and destroy that plasma bug. The
fleet’s future is in your hand, Marauder!
This
exclusive ‘Plasma Mountain’ playable demo from Starship Troopers the videogame
– delivers more than 15 minutes of hardcore, bug-blasting action, providing the
bugs don’t get you first! Watch out for the Sentinel bugs along the way – their
flash blinds anyone in range and is a wake–up call to every bug around.
Concentrate on the Plasma Bug’s weak spots – the head and the rear. Take them
down with your Rocket Launcher or your MK2 Rifle. If all else fails you’ll have
to go in close to the head with your shotgun.
Players will become totally immersed in immense
bug-blasting battles in both famous action-packed scenes from Paul Verhoeven’s
classic movie and never-before-experienced settings and stories from the
Starship Troopers universe.
Heed your General’s battle cry as you run into
another swarm of bugs: “Come on you apes, you wanna live forever?”
