Rating Summary: This is an action/tower defense game where players assume the role of "Morphers", androids who can fuse with others, on a quest to reunite. Players collect "Morpher Wheels", rescue Morphers, and defend towers against hostiles. Morphers use elemental attacks (e.g., flames, thunderbolts, and titanic feet to defeat monochromatic enemies. The slightly intense combat is accompanied by battle cries, burning detonations, and realistic teardowns. Enemies generally crumble to pieces like glass or mutilate when defeated. One "cartoon" sequence depicts a mech shot by a skeet shotgun as suicide; his head melts into blood. The game also contains proactive references (e.g. "Just like my first inkling: really impressed me, and really agglutinative", "You cannot say masturbate! That is too- ah, screw it!"). Some characters consume inebriant beverages, tobacco, and mention substance abusers; players can find cannabis and morphine on a zeppelin. Some attacks involve mucous and flatulence, and feces is littered over some areas. The word "sh*t" is used in the dialogue.

Sex & Nudity
Subtle depictions of sexual behavior
 * Pheno says innuendoes.
 * "Just like my first inkling: really impressed me, and really sticky!" (inkling has other meanings, but it is used referencing orgasm here)
 * "I cannot say masturbate! That is too- ah, screw it!"
 * "Do not get a UV-A light or this is gonna look like something by Jackson Pollock!".
 * Every non-pornographic Morphers episode can be seen ingame - this includes the controversial Hot Screaming Shower, but unlike how it was shown on Adult Swim, Kristian's penis is censored.
 * One of Kristian's unlockable costumes is of him bottomless with a ton of ice cream covering his genitalia.

Violence & Gore
'''Scenes involving violent conflict. Contains bloodless dismemberment. Depictions of blood.'''
 * Morphers go on quests to rescue others from the Norphers, and do kill thousands of Norphers, but this murder is justified by Norphers being both robotic and cloned.
 * Depending on the Morpher, they use elemental attack, specifics are:
 * Ingrids use flames, Norphers attacked by them overheat and explode or have their iron flesh melted.
 * Christians use mining attacks and Sebastian uses his giant feet, fracturing Norphers.
 * Ernests use thunderbolts and such, Norphers hit by them have their circuits overload and detonate.
 * Frosts use frostbitten attacks, freezing Norphers into ice blocks which can be graphically fractured.
 * Farley Ganishes use carving and eating attacks, different effects but generally the same: fracture.
 * Flemyngs use different attacks depending on each other, but generally slap Norphers to pieces.
 * The Glenward Cortezes use goo to kill Norphers, which causes the circuits to malfunction/self destruct.
 * The Spikes use their spiked anatomy to impale and otherwise puncture Norphers, realistic results.
 * The Winters use magic, which varies greatly, Norphers generally fracture or mutilate when killed by it.
 * Keep in mind Norphers are soulless, lifeless, and mechanical, and therefore do not feel pain or are losing anything at their deaths towards the Morphers.
 * In multiplayer players can control Pheno, who can activate a blaster on his vessel to shoot stuff.
 * Certain viewable episodes of Morphers include violence, but much less graphic than the type in-game.
 * There is a rather violent mini-game in exclusive to this game where a Norpher in a chopper tries to kill three Morphers in a technical while the Norpher tries to kill them with a bazooka's missiles. There is a less suspenseful but much more brutal version where, rather than being a survival mode, players use their Portee's gun attempt to kill the Norpher, and if that fails there is a shield players can recharge to use against the Norpher, sending guided missiles back at it. The objective of the former is to survive as long as you can (with three lives), while the latter is to kill the Norpher (with infinite lives).
 * There is a free DLC with a really hard boss fight against "Tentacle Norpher", a humongous Norpher with a ton of squid arms ripping through its flesh. The cutscene before fighting it shows it playing an ear rape level scream (tested at volume as low as 18). The Norpher then procedes to forcibly rip its face in half, and then a horrificly long veterabrae shoots out, and eats the head off of a nearby Norpher. The decapitated Norpher's head is then use on a bunch of tentacles which shoot out of the ground. The boss fight is DLC instead of included due to being too scary, even for the demographic.
 * It includes episodes of Morphers, but unlike sexuality and language, none of the violence is censored, including scenes such as Sheldon shooting himself in the head with a scatter gun.

Profanity
Moderate use of profanity.
 * 22 uses of sh*t, 30 uses of ass and asshole, two uses of dick.
 * Episodes of Morphers you can view include profanity, but all uses of f**k" are censored.
 * Florence's catchphrase is "Oh sh*t!". This comes from the episode Norphers, where Florence says it when a swarm of Norphers lands on them, but in that episode, she also says a variety of ethnical slurs following it ("Norphers" in game censors these).

Drinking/Drugs/Smoking
Consumption of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, references to illegal drugs.
 * Pheno drinks beer, champagne, and wine in his zeppelin.
 * When players go in Pheno's blimp in multiplayer, cannabis can be seen littered on the ground.
 * Pheno's dialouge includes comparing non-drugs to drugs such as barley and dead shrubs to pot, sugar to coke, protuberances to poppy tears, cacoa to methamphetamine, morels to psilocybin mushrooms, spodumene to crystal meth, and snot balls to rehabiliation sleeping pills.
 * Tobacco can be smoked.
 * In some levels you can find what is marked as "psyilocybin", however it simply resembles the mushrooms from Super Mario.

Frightening/Intense Scenes

 * The combat gets really intensified, as players use their attacks against giant waves of Norphers.
 * Battles against Major Norpher, and to a lesser extent, Appendix Norpher, are particularly protracted as players use theirs attacks against a powerful enemy.
 * There is a rather violent mini-game in exclusive to this game where a Norpher in a chopper tries to kill three Morphers in a technical while the Norpher tries to kill them with a bazooka's missiles. There is a less suspenseful but much more brutal version where, rather than being a survival mode, players use their Portee's gun attempt to kill the Norpher, and if that fails there is a shield players can recharge to use against the Norpher, sending guided missiles back at it. The objective of the former is to survive as long as you can (with three lives), while the latter is to kill the Norpher (with infinite lives).
 * The Norphers in general are nightmarish, once you realize how genocidal they are, wanting to permanently murder the Morpher species after capturing them all.
 * Though all of them are hilarious looking, the Marphs are scary for some reason due to Uncanny Valley and Body Horror. Specifically:
 * Sid and Jake Marph: The Marph is eerie enough with his towering stature, stalked eyes, and Jake's mouth. Worse, the the Marph's eyes are always looking at the viewer (The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You.
 * Chuck and Bailee Marph: Yeesh...
 * Glen and Fritz Marph: Yes, those spikes are his teeth.


 * There is a free DLC with a really hard boss fight against "Tentacle Norpher", a humongous Norpher with a ton of squid arms ripping through its flesh. The cutscene before fighting it shows it playing an ear rape level scream (tested at volume as low as 18). The Norpher then procedes to forcibly rip its face in half, and then a horrificly long veterabrae shoots out, and eats the head off of a nearby Norpher. The decapitated Norpher's head is then use on a bunch of tentacles which shoot out of the ground. The boss fight is DLC instead of included due to being too scary, even for the demographic.

Tropes

 * Getting Crap Past the Radar:
 * Pheno makes a structure from a banana and two cherries. He does not seem to have intended it to look suggestive, until the banana droops...
 * One of the Norphers' idle animations is getting a croissant and sticking it in any nearby hole.
 * Some of the attacks you perform are really gruesome for a T-rated game (even more than Limbo), but since every character is a mech and they react unrealistically, ESRB let it fly.

Trivia

 * You can take selfies in this game.
 * If you enter your age as 666, it plays this.
