Stellar Blade, an action RPG game developed by Shift Up, has officially received an adult rating from the Korean Game Management Committee. This game, which is exclusive to the PlayStation 5, is attracting attention because it is considered to contain content that is only suitable for players aged 18 years and over.

The Dunia Games team will discuss several facts about Stellar Blade starting from the genre, synopsis and platform that you must pay attention to before playing it.

1. An Interesting Action-Adventure Game

The Stellar Blade game is a new action-adventure game that has really attracted attention, especially among the gaming community around the world. What makes it attract attention is not because it is a new game, but because Stellar Blade has a smooth battle animation style and very attractive character designs.

Such is the case with the character named Eve, who is the female protagonist in the game Stellar Blade which has actually caused a stir in cyberspace. This is because the character design is acceptable to many people and there are also those who actually take issue with it.

2. Eve's Body Design Inspired by Shin Jae-eun

The character Eve, the female protagonist in Stellar Blade, is apparently considered by many people to have an unrealistic design. Critics say that Eve's design, which is already beautiful with sexy body proportions, is actually unrealistic for the body shape of women in general. However, even so, the developer denied this accusation by confirming that Eve's character depiction was based on the famous South Korean model, Shin Jae-eun.

In an interview with Push Square, Stellar Blade Game Director Hyung-Tae Kim officially confirmed that Shin Jae-eun is the model behind Eve's body. Even Shin Jae-eun himself uploaded a video of a body capture in 2020 as proof that her body shape was used as the body shape of the character Eve in Stellar Blade.

3. Games that Present Female Characters with the Most Beautiful Bodies

Not finished with Eve's body, there is another problem with Eve's costume which is often debated. In the game trailer, it is shown that Eve, as the main protagonist, wears a costume that actually emphasizes her curves too much. This makes Eve's costume trigger a discussion about the developer's limits in representing the character's physical appearance.

Eve's body shape was taken from a South Korean model named Jae-eun, who explained in an interview that Shift Up is trying to create the most attractive body to look at while playing games. Obviously this is something that is interesting for male gamers, but it is a problem for underage gamers.

4. Many Choices of Costumes and Accessories

Another fact is that those of you who play the Stellar Blade game can be given the freedom to change the appearance of Eve's costumes and accessories. You as a player will be given the opportunity to first collect various costumes and accessories for Eve, as well as other main characters such as Adam and Lily.

Meanwhile, with a total of around 30 costumes available, you as a player can actually find a variety of costume choices that you can use on your character as you wish. Whether it is open or closed according to your wishes.

5. Games that Reap Criticism and Controversy

Because it presents female characters with sexy bodies who are said to be the most beautiful, the Stellar Blade game should be included as a game with an adult rating or 18+ rating. Even though this game has received a positive reception, the 18+ rating and the controversy surrounding adult content has actually caused debate among the gamer community.

In fact, there are some who actually consider this game to be a step forward in terms of body representation in very innovative games. Meanwhile, there is another controversy, some say they are worried that the Stellar Blade game will affect underage child gamers, especially boys.

6. Potential Impact on International Markets

Even though the Stellar Blade game has received an adult rating in Korea, unfortunately other countries such as European countries and the US have not yet issued their official decision. However, according to reports, this game is predicted to continue to receive a similar rating in the global market, as has happened in Korea. Then what about Indonesia? It also looks like it will certainly follow the global market which is what is happening in Korea.

7. The Demo Can Have 690 Thousand Active Players

Shift Up, which released the Stellar Blade game demo, was successfully responded to by many people, by the large number of active players. Data analysis carried out by Ampere Analysis reveals surprising facts about the Stellar Blade demo. Based on the results of this analysis, it appears that the Stellar Blade game has succeeded in surpassing the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo in terms of the number of daily active players.

In fact, the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo itself only reached a peak of 380 thousand active players a day, while the Stellar Blade game could jump to 690 thousand active players at the same time. Not only did they record achievements in the demo version, Ampere Analysis also provided an interesting estimate regarding the potential number of active players when Stellar Blade was officially released, where their game could have the potential to reach 4 million active players at launch.

8. Exclusive Game Only for Playstation 5

Unfortunately, the Stellar Blade game, which is a game eagerly awaited by gamers, can only be enjoyed by Playstation 5 owners. This is because Stellar Blade is currently only exclusive to the Playstation 5 console, which makes PC or XBOX and Nintendo Switch gamers have to bite the bullet.

However, there is a strong possibility that one day the Stellar Blade game will be available on PC. So before this possibility happens, there is quite a long time for you to upgrade your PC to the highest spec. This is necessary because the Stellar Blade game is a big game that is quite beautiful and realistic with its visuals, which requires a PC with strong capabilities too.

9. The Game Promised Will Not Contain a Microtransaction System

This action-adventure game, which offers a mix of hack and slash and souls-like, was confirmed by Shift Up that its newest game will not contain a microtransaction system. Of course, this is good news for gamers, especially at this time where the trend is that many single-player games still include microtransactions in them.

So in this way, playing the Stellar Blade game allows all groups of players to enjoy all the content in the game, to be precise, they only need to buy the game once. Although Stellar Blade is free from microtransaction systems, Shift Up indicates the possibility of future collaborations involving additional content. This additional content is like DLC or expansion content which will likely be paid for players who want to access it.
