          Here’s the game’s intro

          It perfectly captures the parody vibes in the game.

          Over the top propaganda is oozing out of every hole of this game. It’s great

          Haven’t played in about a year, and the intro really makes me want to fire it up again

          Helldivers. A game which applies over the top levels of sarcastic propaganda for the managed democracy of Super Earth. In the game, you play as a footsoldier (helldiver) for Super Earth. Hence, the whole culture around the game is soaked with sarcastic propaganda.

            More specifically shock soldiers. The SEAF are the actual grunts, Helldivers are more akin to the Trench Raiders or Stormtroopers of WW1.

            You don’t play as A helldiver. You play as as many helldivers as it takes to complete the mission. They literally throw people at the problem until it stops being a problem.

                That’s exactly the attitude that makes the Helldivers the best of the best, Son. Have you ever considered signing up to do your part to protect Super Earth?
