Language, Mild Blood, Violence
This is a combat simulation game in which players assume the role of a soldier using mechanized battle robots (mechs) through combat missions. From third- and first-person perspectives, players pilot mechs that use lasers, machine guns, and rockets to defend civilian installations and defeat enemies (e.g., rival mech forces, turrets, helicopters). Battles can be frenetic, with waves of enemies, frequent laser/gunfire, and large explosions. One still image depicts a soldier with small bloodstains on his uniform; an icon of a skull and sword depicts small drips of blood. The words “sh*t,” “a*shole,” and “b*tch” appear in the game.
