This weekend, a questionable adult imitation of Helldivers 2 made its debut on Steam, causing quite a stir. Titled "SEXDIVERS", the game blatantly copies the style and mechanics of Arrowhead's acclaimed live-service shooter, replacing its themes of democracy and freedom with 18+ "steamy scenes."Created by Octo Games, known for titles like Cumverse and Furry Survivals 18+, SEXDIVERS mimics the look of Helldivers 2 to an almost comical degree. From battling Terminid-like bugs to wearing armor strikingly similar to that of the Helldivers, the similarities are undeniable. However, instead of a thrilling gameplay experience, players get scenes described as "video calls from hotties" awkwardly displayed over the health bar. Think TikTok's Subway Surfer trend, but with a very adult twist.
