It's really kind of bland and absolutely doesn't deserve the AO rating. Heck, some of the scenes in The Walking Dead games are much more gruesome and shocking.
It probably got AO due to the context of the killing spree along with many of the targets being civillians (who apparently beg for their lives).

ERSB ratings are self-reported. You basically fill out a questionnaire about how violent/pornographic/etc your game is. The devs probably exaggerated a bit on the report to get a higher rating.

http://www.esrb.org/ratings/index.jsp) Digitally-Delivered Games and Apps
Games that will be made available solely via download or will be otherwise accessible only online (like web browser games or PC-based and mobile apps, for example) are rated using a "Short Form" rating process.
Publishers of these digitally delivered games and apps complete a series of multiple-choice questions that address content across relevant categories (as described above). The questionnaire also asks questions related to a game's interactive components, such as the enabling of user interactions or the sharing of a user's physical location or personal information. Finally the developer indicates whether the game has a minimum age requirement. The responses to these questions automatically determine the game's Rating Category, Content Descriptors and Interactive Elements, which are issued immediately upon completion of the questionnaire. Because these products are rated by an automated process they do not receive Rating Summaries.

So basically a sub-par stick shooter which will probably sell more than it ought because of cleverly manufactured outrage?
Smart.

Not quite. More like a pretty short (4-5 hours), buggy, and poorly optimised sub-par twin stick shooter with some nice visuals and building destruction.
