This multiplayer co-op shooting game is the first to recreate Starship Troopers in virtual reality. This blog will explain what the game\u2019s name actually means. But first, please welcome a very special guest! The face of FedNet, hero of Klendathu, General Johnny Rico!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A word from Casper Van Dien<\/h2>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI guess I\u2019m the closest thing Starship Troopers has for a hero. My character, Johnny Rico, has been with me for nearly 30 years. He spends most of the first movie surrounded by death. He\u2019s responsible for a death in training. He\u2019s mistakenly K.I.A on Klendathu. He\u2019s promoted when Troopers die around him, falling upwards through the ranks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2018A citizen accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic, defending it with his life; a civilian does not.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In the end, Rico\u2019s changed. He takes that quote to heart and becomes willing &#8211; even keen &#8211; to die for the cause. He becomes harder, stronger, more pragmatic\u2026 but at what cost?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In Starship Troopers: Continuum, Rico\u2019s a figurehead for FedNet\u2019s \u2018Klendathu 25\u2019 celebration. I\u2019m helping recruit new meat for the grinder, and you\u2019re the meat. You play Mobile Infantry Troopers as they battle the opposing Arachnid force. Thousands will die on both sides. You\u2019re disposable. Mobile Infantry does the dying, and that\u2019s what this game is all about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">VR puts you right there, on the battlefield with your squad, facing big, fast, mean and lethal bugs. Like Rico, you\u2019re surrounded by death. So eyes front, Trooper! It\u2019s your duty to take responsibility and defend the Federation with your life! Or do you wanna live forever?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"ps-age-gate-container\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"ps-age-gate-container__inner\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"shortcode shortcode--youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-youtube-id=\"xQRL-tT-nN4\" data-title=\"\"> <button class=\"youtube-video__load-button\"> <svg class=\"icon icon--play icon--26 icon--play icon--blue\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\"> <title><\/title><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" class=\"icon-primary-color\" d=\"M0 1.75v17l20-8.5z\"\/>\t<\/svg> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play Video<\/span> <\/button> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/content\/themes\/playstation-2018\/images\/placeholder.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-5.jpg 120w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-6.jpg 320w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-7.jpg 480w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-8.jpg 640w, https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/xQRL-tT-nN4\/maxresdefault.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1440px) 1200px, (min-width: 960px) 80vw, 100vw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-7.jpg\" class=\"youtube-video__image-overlay lazy\" alt=\"Starship Troopers: Continuum\u2019s upgrade and perk system leans into the original sci-fi film\u2019s mythology\" > <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video__iframe\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"ps-age-gate-container__overlay\">\n<div class=\"ps-age-gate-container__overlay-inner\"> <button class=\"ps-age-gate-container__unlock-button\"> <svg class=\"icon icon--lock icon--white\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\"> <title>Verify your age to view this content.<\/title><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0 0H20V20H0z\"><\/path><path class=\"icon-primary-color\" d=\"M15 9h-1V6c0-2.2-1.8-4-4-4S6 3.8 6 6v3H5c-.5 0-1 .5-1 1v7c0 .5.5 1 1 1h10c.5 0 1-.5 1-1v-7c0-.5-.5-1-1-1zm-4 7H9l.4-2.2c-.5-.2-.9-.8-.9-1.3 0-.8.7-1.5 1.5-1.5s1.5.7 1.5 1.5c0 .6-.3 1.1-.9 1.3L11 16zm1-7H8V6c0-1.1.9-2 2-2s2 .9 2 2v3z\"><\/path>\t<\/svg> <span>Verify your age to view this content.<\/span> <\/button> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Authenticity evolved<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">In developing Starship Troopers: Continuum, we at XR Games wanted to capture the essence of Starship Troopers. As Casper says, that\u2019s the meat grinder. This war is dangerous, and the bugs are lethal. You will die.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Then accept your rewards, choose a new Trooper, and start again. Kill bugs, earn money, gain EXP. Survive long enough and you can retire your Trooper into citizenship, with the extra bonus that brings. Or don\u2019t, and die, and try again. This is the meat grinder.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you bank your progress. You earn new perks and guns to arm your next Trooper with. You get to make a stronger build. The mechanism by which you do this is called the Continuum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enter the Continuum<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Remember Cyrano the ferret?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Starship Troopers: Continuum takes place 25 years after Klendathu, and there\u2019s been a breakthrough in psychic research &#8211; the Continuum. This technology creates a psychic interface through which soldiers called PsyCommanders can control other human beings, like Cyrano in the movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In Starship Troopers: Continuum, the moment you don your VR headset, you\u2019re connected to the Continuum in the role of a PsyCommander. You control one Trooper at a time. Die, and you can immediately take a new Trooper. Your goal is to keep them alive\u2026 but accidents happen!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As a PsyCommander, you have access to perks via the Continuum. As you level up, you gain access to more perks and super-perks, which can be injected into your Trooper to improve their performance. As your Trooper ranks up, they can take on more perks simultaneously, allowing for build combinations to tune your play. For instance, equip Psychosis Blast to add damage to your dash ability, then complement it with Adrenaline to reduce your dash cooldown time. Throw in Tactical Relocation &#8211; move faster as you kill more &#8211; and you have a speed build!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Plus, the more you use your perks, the stronger they get. Even if your Trooper dies, a future Trooper can take on that perk at its advanced level. This is the meaning of the Continuum. Even as Troopers die, the Continuum becomes stronger, justifying every Trooper sacrificed on the battlefield, redeeming every drop of blood that\u2019s shed!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/starship-troopers-continuums-upgrade-and-perk-system-leans-into-the-original-sci-fi-films-mythology-3.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build your Trooper, form your squad<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Starship Troopers: Continuum is an online multiplayer game, great with 1 to 3 players. So build complementary Troopers for battlefield dominance! 20+ weapons and 40+ perks allow you to create a different Trooper every time.
