A decent metric to determine when a game has truly reached the mainstream is when Steam's active sex game scene decides to create a parody. Helldivers 2 has now achieved this milestone with the emergence of SEXDIVERS, an "intense survival shooter" set to release in 2025. It's quite remarkable that an emoji is included in the title; it's an unexpected twist on the Steam platform.

Developer's Competence in Recreating Looks

While one might not immediately think that Sexdivers looks fun or exceptional, it's important to recognize the efforts of developer Octo Games. They have managed to competently recreate the look of Helldivers 2 in its action scenes. The Sexdiver suits have a certain busyness to them that might make one question their authenticity, but the desert planet, bug faction, and capes at a glance closely resemble those of Helldivers. It's almost as if one could briefly mistake it for the real thing. The trailer even parodies Helldivers 2's launch trailer recruitment ad with triumphant shots of the diver telling viewers to "BECOME THE HERO."

Gameplay and Story Overview

In Sexdivers, you're not just a faceless soldier serving an intergalactic regime. Instead, you take on the role of a Shepherd-like ship captain leading an expedition across a mysterious planet. This expedition is accompanied by a significant number of hot singles in your area. As you progress through the levels and complete successful missions, your fame grows, and so does your popularity among the women in the expedition and beyond. The more achievements you unlock, the more erotic possibilities become available, transforming your journey into something much more than just a fight for survival.

Imagine going into battle against bugs with what appears to be the most basic and trashy third-person shooting mechanics that a standard game engine can offer. Then, as a reward, you're treated to interactive sex scenes featuring a "cum" button. It's clear that this game caters to a specific set of fantasies.

Octo Games seems to be skimping on details in some aspects. For instance, this is their 43rd game on Steam in just two and a half years. Their catalog includes titles like Hot Pussy College, Hentai Survivors, Fap & Cum, and Sex Standing (a play on Death Stranding, with screenshots confirming support for other positions). It's a rather extensive portfolio.

Feature List and Technical Aspects

The game comes with a rather half-hearted, AI-sounding feature list that's sandwiched between porn gifs, making it difficult to focus on. It mentions encountering new enemies as you advance through the levels, a dynamic controller for immersive gameplay, hot scenes to unlock, the need to use strategic thinking and skills to defeat enemies and reach your goal, and dynamic environments that immerse you in vividly detailed settings that evolve over time.

A dynamic controller for immersive gameplay indeed sounds interesting. Sexdivers also has an AI content disclosure stating that it used "neural networks" to create some of its backgrounds and "help render fine character details faster." It seems that certain artistic sacrifices have been made to achieve an average of 17 games per year.
