Hey, y’all!
I’m looking for a science-fiction novel similar to the video game *Helldivers 2*.
The game is pretty openly modeled on *Starship Troopers* by Robert Heinlein (and more the film adaptation from Paul Verhoeven), and the James Cameron film *The Terminator*.
I’ve already read *Starship Troopers* by Heinlein as well as *Old Man’s War* by John Scalzi, but are there other, similar books? I’m especially looking for novels that play with the satire like Verhoeven’s film and the video game.
Thanks in advance for your help!

*The Forever War* by Joe Haldeman might fit the bill. It’s about a guy who gets conscripted into a space army to fight a seemingly endless war against aliens. It’s classic science fiction and has a satirical edge that critiques the military and society of the 1970s and is based in part on the author’s experiences in Vietnam
