I’m sure it’s fun, really, but having a rootkit in a PVE game and that PSN requirement on top, that all seems fishy. I know Sony backed off for now, but like you said, it’s a live service and they might change it again. I still hope players can enjoy it and have a great time.
I thought you were going to explain why I should buy it now, but you haven’t? I’m playing something else right now so I don’t see a reason to buy it now because later, when I’m actually going to play it, it might be on sale.
fly to planet > choose operation > select mission > “helldive” down to the surface to complete an objective (evacuate civilians, launch ICBM, eradicate swarm, etc) > complete optional objectives and gather resources > call down a shuttle and extract back to your ship > spend resources on upgrading gear and your ship > repeat
The ship provides “stratagems”, basically various forms of orbital support. You can call down mechs, orbital bombardments, automated weapon emplacements, etc.
The enemy’s designs are very varied, it’s possible to sneak around them and the gameplay down on planet surfaces is generally just very diverse compared to other hoard shooters. Mission types are many, guns, stratagems and gear are many.
There is also a macro game, where all completed operations contribute to the war effort as a whole. All players are fighting the same galactic war, though each mission is always a four player max instance. Playing on a certain planet will contribute to its occupation/defense/invasion, and what planets the community spends their time on, determines where ground is gained or lost.

Good point. I did not impart any immediacy.
What is it actually? L4D with leveling?
No. Not really. L4D is a different thing, although I can see why you would think that.
It’s a hoard shooter. Most of the time.
The main gameplay loop is as follows.
fly to planet > choose operation > select mission > “helldive” down to the surface to complete an objective (evacuate civilians, launch ICBM, eradicate swarm, etc) > complete optional objectives and gather resources > call down a shuttle and extract back to your ship > spend resources on upgrading gear and your ship > repeat

Ok.
Or don’t. Because we know PSN accounts are Sonys end goal and Sony can not be trusted with PII.
