The ESRB has posted up a description for Arrowhead Game Studios’ upcoming Helldivers 2, and while there’s nothing earth-shattering to be found here, it does give us an idea of what to expect from the game’s bread-and-butter combat, making it clear why the game has earned a ‘Mature’ rating.
This is an action game in which players assume the role of soldiers attempting to win an intergalactic war. From a third-person perspective, players use pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, flamethrowers, turrets, grenades, and rocket launchers to shoot and kill enemies (e.g., robots, cyborgs, giant insects).
Combat is accompanied by realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects; some areas of the battlefield depict bloodstains and dismembered corpses. Players can continue to attack defeated enemies, causing additional blood-splatter effects and dismemberment. Players can also shoot and kill human civilians during rescue missions.
