== Gameplay ==
Set in the ''Starship Troopers'' franchise, players defend a remote mining colony against an invasion of insectoid aliens.  ''Terran Command'' includes elements of both the 1997 film, such as the satirical criticism of militarism, and 1959 book, such as the powered armor.  In combat, the Terran forces focus mostly on powerful ranged attacks, and the aliens have greater numbers, mobility, and strong melee attacks.  Players can only control the Terran forces.<ref name=ign>{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/starship-troopers-terran-command-review|title=''Starship Troopers: Terran Command'' Review|last=Hafer|first=Leanna|work=IGN|date=2022-06-17|accessdate=2023-06-15}}</ref>  As players progress through the campaign, more powerful units become available.
