Sex & Nudity

  • Strong sex references, fantastical nudity.
  • During a song, the line "a street corner prostitute said I would suck that guy's dick"
  • In the same song, a toothless crackwhore is mentioned
  • Multiple humorous character exchanges including "I see you've found the G-spot" and sex talk between two men and a woman
  • During one level, small topless statues of women can be seen
  • A massive mutant zombie is seen with mutated breasts
  • Multiple shots of cleavage
  • Some other sexual humor

Violence & Gore

  • Not too bad.
  • Strong gore, frequent bloody violence.
  • Blood and gore are everywhere when you shoot hordes of zombies using machine guns, pistols, and shotguns.
  • Blood splatters and pools.
  • Shooting zombies in different locations does different things.
  • A shot to the head is over the top, exploding the zombie skull and its contents in many directions.
  • Zombies can have their heads blown off, their arms shot away, their legs destroyed (reducing them to crawling) and, by picking up a certain powerup, this can occur in slow-motion too.
  • During one level, zombies can be seen feeding a human into a meat-grinder.
  • After being slashed a number of times by zombies, a narrator mockingly says, "You are dead."
  • If a zombie attacks the player, blood splashes over the screen and sometimes a bit of gore too.
  • If a player kills a certain type of zombie in a certain way, they'll slap its face and gore will fly at the screen.
  • Environments explored are all extremely bloody and gory.
  • During one boss-battle, the enemy will fire multiple projectiles at the player including a dismembered arm, a head complete with part of the spine, and more bloody objects.
  • Despite the extreme nature of the violence, it occurs in a highly comical and unrealistic context which should significantly lessen its impact.

Profanity

  • Very frequent strong language.
  • Frequent use of strong language throughout
  • Over 90 uses of the F-Word.
  • Many uses of s**t
  • A few other scratological terms
  • Won a Guiness world record for "Most profane game."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Brief drug abuse references.
  • A few references to substance abuse
  • Some zombies are seen in a bar on a train
  • Talk of drinking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Strong grisly horror.
  • Despite its blatant self-parody and comical humour.
  • The gore may offend those who can't contextualise it and some scenes.
  • Regardless of their humorous value, could be seen as "just wrong".
  • Regardless of this, Overkill is undoubtably a comedy, not a horror.
