Starship Troopers — Steam Gift

Starship Troopers: Terran Command — strategy in the Mobile Infantry universe

“Do you want to live forever?” — Starship Troopers: Terran Command drops you onto the front line of the human-versus-bug war, inspired by Paul Verhoeven's cult 1997 film. It's a real-time strategy game by The Aristocrats, published by Slitherine, released on June 16, 2022. You command the Mobile Infantry of the United Citizen Federation on the planet Kwalasha and hold the line against endless waves of Arachnids. Here you buy a Steam gift for the base game — it lands straight in your Steam account, you accept it and head into battle.

What kind of game it is

Terran Command isn't a classic base-building, economy-and-upgrades RTS. The focus is tactics: small squads against huge swarms. Every soldier counts, reinforcements are limited, and the bugs overwhelm you with numbers — bursting from underground, flanking, and wiping out a careless squad in seconds. Victory comes from a well-built firing line, holding the high ground, smart withdrawals, and the right use of flamethroopers, rangers, snipers and heavy armor.

What the campaign offers

• 🪖 A story-driven single-player campaign for the Mobile Infantry, gradually unlocking new units and abilities.
• 🕷 Dozens of Arachnid types — from small workers to tank-like and flying horrors, each demanding its own answer.
• 🗺 Varied maps and objectives: holding the line, evacuation, cleanup, escort.
• ⚙️ After the first expansion, a map editor was added — you can play user-made missions from the Steam Workshop.

What's included in this gift

You get the base game Starship Troopers: Terran Command. That's enough to play through the entire main campaign. The game has separate paid expansions, and they are not included in this gift:

• Raising Hell (November 15, 2023) — new missions, units and a map editor.
• Urban Onslaught (June 18, 2024) — urban warfare and a campaign expansion.
• The Eradicators (May 26, 2026) — content for Territory mode.

All expansions require the base game installed, so this gift is your starting point. Want more Arachnids and maps — buy the DLC on top of the base later.

Units and tactics

You command a full arsenal of Mobile Infantry, and every squad has its job. Basic riflemen hold formation and pour fire down the approaches. Flamethroopers are indispensable against swarms of small bugs that would otherwise flood your position. Snipers pick off dangerous targets at range, rangers are mobile and flexible, and heavy armor and emplaced guns turn a narrow choke point into a meat grinder. On top of that come targeted abilities: artillery strikes, orbital support, mines and fortifications. The Arachnids are just as varied: workers crush you with numbers, warriors tear into you in melee, tankers soak up tons of damage, and flying or acid-spitting horrors break any static defense. Victory goes to whoever reads the battlefield, pulls back battered squads in time, and never lets the enemy slip around the rear.

The film universe

The game carefully captures the spirit of its source: the bombastic Federation propaganda, the dark humor, the endless tide of bugs, and the feeling that humanity is hanging on by its teeth. The militarism satire from Verhoeven's film plays in the background while you issue orders amid screeching Arachnids and the boom of railguns. This isn't just a licensed RTS — it's an honest attempt to convey that exact universe where “service guarantees citizenship” and every drop could be your last.

The game stays yours forever

A Steam gift means you own the game: once you accept it, it binds to your account, stays in your library and won't go anywhere. It's not a subscription or a rental — it won't be taken away when a term ends or rotated out of a catalog. Accept the gift and Terran Command is yours, reinstall it as often as you like and come back to the campaign whenever you want.

How the gift arrives and about region

This isn't a key or a code, it's a proper Steam gift — the game comes straight into your account. After ordering, our bot adds itself to your Steam friends list (or you follow an invite link), sends the gift and then removes itself. You don't need to send or accept the friend request manually — it all happens automatically. Steam Guard is not required. Two conditions matter: your Steam account region must match the gift's region, and you must not already own the game in your library — otherwise the gift can't be accepted. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes, after which Terran Command appears in your library.

Who it's for

If you love tense tactical battles, you're a fan of the Starship Troopers universe, or you just want to feel like the commander holding the line against thousands of bugs — Terran Command is your game. And if you want the same battles but first-person and co-op, check out Starship Troopers: Extermination. If you like large-scale military RTS, take a look at Company of Heroes 3 or the genre classic Age of Empires IV.
