Rating issues

This game contains depictions of non-realistic violence towards both human and fantasy characters. Violence is frenetic, and upon impact, flashes of light are seen, and the enemy’s body flashes. Blood sprays as the enemy is hit, and grunting sounds accompany this. When defeated, the enemy flies backwards and disappears completely in a cloud of smoke. Buildings in the game are often seen being bombed and/or set on fire. Although the player does not see any harm to people during these instances, violence is implied.

This game contains the use of bad language, including ‘bastard’.

The game contains disturbing images throughout, including still images of characters shown with blood detail. Some of the character designs in this game may be scary to younger players.

Other issues

One of the enemy characters that the player encounters is depicted with a sword impaling his torso (blood detail is present on this). The character makes verbal reference to taking their own life.

At times in the game, a child has been held captive by enemies. The children are named “Hostage” and are seen sitting on the ground, tied up. No harm is ever seen to the child. Characters battle around them, but the child is unable to be hurt.
