Line 270:
* The ''[[Oddworld]]'' games have shades of this. The save the environment aesop being essentially the point of the entire series. A proof that [[Tropes Are Not Bad]] in that even if one finds the whole thing heavy-handed it tends to be presented in an entertaining fashion.
* ''[[The Last Resurrection]]'' portrays Jesus (the game's final boss) as being personally responsible for crusades, inquisitions, witch-burnings and even Nazism; during the ending sequence the heroes conclude that world peace will not be achieved until all religions are abolished. It's a long-shot, but there's a small chance that the designer might not be too keen on organised religion.
* It's no secret that Matt Roszak, the man behind the ''[[Epic Battle Fantasy]]'' series, has never been fond of modern politics and the stupidity it brings in politicians and regular folk alike, and it shows in The Iron Fortress arc in ''EBF5'' that openly mocks the sociopolitical climate that emerged in the 2010s: [[Arc Villain|Lance]] believes the government is too incompetent to get anything done and conquering the world under an openly fascist ideology is necessary to save it from an upcoming alien invasion that only he believes will happen ({{spoiler|turns out he had done serious research and was right about the invasion}}), while the regular townsfolk who have to suffer his madness become paranoid and Matt is accused of being one of Lance's sycophants by Anna because he has blonde hair. At least Lance is shown to be redeemable and willing to fix his mistakes after begrudgingly joining the party.
* The Iron Fortress arc in ''[[Epic Battle Fantasy]] 5'' throws jabs at clueless extremist political activists and the terrible culture of mistrust and division they create: Lance assembles an army of sycophants under an unironically fascistic ideology and plans to save humanity by conquering the world and prepare it against a hypothetical alien invasion that's largely considrered a baseless conspiracy theory {{spoiler|but turns out to be mostly true and even an understatement}}; people from nearby villages suffering frequent attacks from Lance's men become paranoid, examplified by Anna who suspects Matt of being a fascist because he has blonde hair and immediatly tries to kill him; and of course there are ineffectual protestors who think reminding everyone that fascism is bad or screaming accusations of fascism at bystanders will accomplish something. Lance's accuracy and evade steroid item being called "red pill" cannot be a mere coincidence either.
