It's a third person objective based horde shooter where the game is balanced around the potential for friendly fire casualties.

It's just hard enough to be fun and the fact that you regularly kill your squad mates with accidental friendly fire in funny way pushes it over the top

You have to input the contra code in the middle of hectic situations to drop a nuke on bugs overrunning your party. Maybe nuke your party too but everyone laughs instead of getting mad. You input another code and they all come hurling out of the sky in a drop pod to rejoin the fight.

Missions are 10-30 minutes of slogging through bugs or robots on scenic planets while LARPing as soldiers spreading Managed Democracy.

is it a coop zombie wave survival thing?

It's mission-based rather than wave based, but otherwise similar if you swap zombies for robots and not-tyranids. Similarly to Palworld, it became a meme due to a controversy while still being good enough that players actually like it. It's also one of the few cases where "live service" means regular updates which coincide with lore events, rather than seasonal battle passes without non-cosmetic content.

All of the above is learned from the internet, I have never played the game.

You should probably just fold When the only winning move is not to play And yet you keep on trying, Mindlessly Replying.
