ESRB Age Rating Summary:
Super Robot Wars 30 is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood, Mild Language, Partial Nudity, and Suggestive Themes. This is a strategy role-playing game in which players engage in battles using characters from several mecha anime series. Combat is turn-based, with players moving characters around a grid-like battlefield and selecting attack moves from a menu. While most attacks depict small mech suits/robots shooting at each other, some attacks trigger short animated sequences depicting dramatic flame attacks, laser fire, sword strikes, and large explosions. One sequence briefly depicts a character in bloodstained clothing. Some female characters are designed with low-cut outfits and deep cleavage; camera angles sometimes linger on female characters' chests and/or buttocks. The dialogue also contains suggestive material (e.g., “I can't pilot in a swimsuit! My boobs would get in the way”; “Harassing women just trying to enjoy the beach?...Now you'll have to deal with me, you perv!”). One cutscene briefly depicts characters partially nude during a fantastical transformation sequence (e.g., exposed buttocks, breasts without nipple detail). The words “pr*ck” and “p*ssed” appear in the game.
