《星河艦隊：滅絕》（Starship Troopers: Extermination）是由Offworld Industries開發、基於1997年科幻經典電影《星河艦隊》（Starship Troopers）所改編的多人合作射擊遊戲，於2023年5月以搶先體驗版本於Steam平台推出，並在2025年4月正式登陸PS5。深度還原電影中人類對抗蟲族（Arachnids）的戰爭場面，將玩家帶入一場規模龐大、節奏緊湊的星際大戰。

劇情雖不是以單機敘事為核心，但其背景建構於《星河艦隊》電影宇宙之中。人類所屬的「聯邦」（The Federation）正面對一波波來自外星蟲族的猛烈侵襲，戰爭在宇宙邊境的行星中持續蔓延。主角是一名「機動步兵」（Mobile Infantry）的士兵，加入多達16人的小隊，在戰場中共同完成任務，清剿蟲巢、護送裝備、建造防線，最終迎來撤離或全滅的結局。

在操作系統上，採第一人稱射擊模式，結合基地建造、防禦塔設置與資源管理等機制，融合傳統FPS與即時策略的玩法。選擇六種職業類型──突擊兵、支援兵、狙擊手、爆破兵、工程兵與醫護兵等，每種職業擁有不同的裝備與技能，提升能力就能解鎖新武器跟裝備。戰鬥中，需合作擊退源源不絕的蟲族浪潮，並視情況建立臨時防禦工事，例如自動槍塔、圍牆與能源站等，以防止敵人攻陷任務據點。

地圖大多為開放式設計，包含沙漠、峽谷、都市廢墟等各種外星地形，且在某些特殊任務中會遇上劇情導向的突發事件，例如特種蟲族突襲、突變生物出現或資源短缺危機。遊戲的夜戰與煙霧效果設計逼真，強化臨場感與壓迫氛圍，特別是在面對大規模蟲潮來襲時，場面壯觀而混亂。

在PS5上的版本中，有針對主機平台做優化，支援DualSense手把的震動反饋與觸覺觸發器功能，讓射擊與重型武器使用更具臨場感；同時也改善圖像效能，使蟲族與爆炸特效在4K顯示下更為鮮明。市場評價方面，在PS5上獲得中上水準的評價。Metacritic給予主機版約61分左右的綜合評分，玩家普遍認為本作成功捕捉電影原作的軍事諷刺風格與群體作戰氛圍。遊戲的重點在於「兄弟連般的合作感」，尤其在語音溝通與戰術執行良好的隊伍中，能體驗到極為刺激的戰場節奏。然而，一些批評聲音則來自於AI敵人的單調、任務設計略顯重複，以及缺乏深度的個人故事線。即使如此，它作為一款強調多人合作與視覺衝擊的射擊遊戲，在主機市場仍具吸引力，特別是對於原作粉絲與喜愛PVE團隊作戰的玩家而言。

總體而言，《星河艦隊：滅絕》是成功繼承電影IP精神的戰爭射擊作品，強調合作、防守與戰術部署，帶來不亞於電影規模的星際蟲戰體驗。在當前合作射擊遊戲市場中，它或許不是最具深度的作品，卻無疑是一場令人腎上腺素飆升的「人類對抗外星蟲」之戰。

Starship Troopers: Extermination is a cooperative multiplayer shooter developed by Offworld Industries, adapted from the 1997 sci-fi cult classic film Starship Troopers. Initially launched in May 2023 on Steam as an Early Access title, it officially debuted on PlayStation 5 in April 2025. The game delivers an immersive recreation of the large-scale, high-intensity human-vs-arachnid warfare seen in the film, drawing players into a fast-paced interstellar conflict.

Though the game does not emphasize a single-player narrative, its setting is firmly rooted in the cinematic universe of Starship Troopers. Players take on the role of soldiers in the Mobile Infantry, humanity’s frontline defense under the authoritarian rule of the Federation. They join up to 15 other players in a 16-person squad to carry out missions across war-torn planets at the edge of the galaxy. Objectives include clearing out bug hives, escorting vital equipment, constructing defensive positions, and attempting to survive until evacuation—or being overrun.

Gameplay centers on first-person shooting, combined with light base-building, defensive structure placement, and real-time resource management. Players can choose from six distinct classes: Assault, Support, Sniper, Demolitions, Engineer, and Medic. Each class comes with unique gear and abilities, and progression unlocks advanced weapons and gadgets. Teamwork is essential: players must coordinate to repel increasingly intense waves of Arachnids, while simultaneously constructing automated turrets, energy stations, and barriers to secure mission-critical areas.

Maps are open and varied, featuring alien terrains such as deserts, canyons, and ruined urban zones. Some missions trigger dynamic story-driven events, like special bug types launching surprise attacks or unexpected environmental crises, such as supply shortages or mutated enemies. Night combat and atmospheric effects like smoke and fire heighten immersion, especially during massive swarm battles that erupt into chaotic, cinematic-scale clashes.

The PS5 version includes platform-specific enhancements. DualSense controller features such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers add tactile realism to shooting and heavy weapon handling. Visuals are also optimized, with crisper 4K textures that enhance both enemy detail and environmental destruction effects, making the onscreen chaos all the more vivid.

Reception for the PS5 version has been generally positive, though somewhat mixed. On Metacritic, the console release holds an average score of around 61. Players and reviewers alike praise the game’s authentic embrace of the film’s satirical military tone and its emphasis on cooperative gameplay. It particularly shines when played with a coordinated group using voice chat, where the battlefield comes alive with tension and camaraderie. However, criticisms often point to repetitive mission structures, underwhelming enemy AI, and a lack of meaningful single-player content or character development.

Still, for fans of the original film or players who enjoy PvE-focused, team-based shooters, Starship Troopers: Extermination offers an adrenaline-charged combat experience that captures the spirit of the franchise. While it may not rival the depth of more complex tactical shooters, it delivers a thrilling, large-scale war against alien hordes that feels straight out of a sci-fi action blockbuster.
