Propaganda art has existed in some form since the beginning of civilization, and this is no different from Helldivers 2. From the Rosetta Stone which, when translated, talks about how amazing Pharaoh Ptolemy V was, to the iconic Uncle Sam pointing and saying, “I want you for the U.S. Army.” It makes sense that Helldivers 2, a game heavily inspired by the propaganda satire movie Starship Troopers, would follow in these footsteps with their art design.
