Release Date: March 16, 2026
A boomer shooter from the creators of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, based on the Starship Troopers movie license. In Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!, we assume the role of a recruit who, as part of a training simulation, tries to prevent an arachnid invasion on human colonies.
Although the Auroch Digital studio has been around since 2010, it had to wait 13 years for its first true hit. It was the boomer shooter-style game, titled Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Its success not only allowed the team to gain momentum but also brought them recognition. Over time, they took on the task of adapting another iconic brand. This refers to Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! - an old-school shooter based on the science fiction film license.
In Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!, the action is viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP). The core of the gameplay is the extermination of arachnid hordes, which we kill primarily using firearms, filling them with lead, dismembering, and setting them on fire. The cosmic adventure takes us through various locations, from wastelands to human settlements.
In Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! we play as a recruit who hones their skills by playing the titular production. It is the work of the fictional studio FedDev, funded by the United Citizen Federation with the aim of developing an army ready to face cosmic threats.
As part of a training simulation, under the command of General Johnny Rico, our recruit takes control of Major Samantha "Sammy" Dietz and faces hordes of arachnids that have left their home planet Klendathu and spread across the cosmos, invading human-colonized worlds. It's up to us to stop their invasion before it's too late.
Similar to Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, the graphics of Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! are designed in a style reminiscent of shooters from the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Game Ratings for Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! Video Game.
MonsterVine: 4 / 5 by Sean Halliday
Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War delivers chaotic bug-splatting action with satisfying old-school FPS gameplay, huge maps, and plenty of fan service for the cult sci-fi franchise.
NintendoWorldReport: 7 / 10 by Jordan Rudek
Fans of Starship Troopers and classic FPS games will find enough to love here, even if the bug missions are a letdown. Everyone fights; no one quits. But maybe turn down the difficulty until you get your space legs.
Indie Games Devel: 9 / 10 by Luca Buelli
Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! is a rare example of an adaptation done right, one that goes beyond mere transposition to become a fully integrated part of the narrative universe it draws from. The game excels in its shooting mechanics, impresses with its world-building, and demonstrates a level of internal consistency rarely seen in similar titles. Its relatively brief campaign is the only notable limitation, but this is more than offset by the game’s overall quality and carefully maintained pacing. The result is a gripping, deliberate, and deeply immersive experience, demonstrating that even a franchise-based title can achieve remarkable heights when driven by a clear vision and executed with precision.
