This game contains frequent depictions of non-realistic looking violence towards human-like characters, with bright lights and magical effects appearing on impacts and numbers indicating the levels of damage inflicted. During gameplay, no visible wounds are shown, although characters do let out cries of pain. The strongest examples of violence occur in the game’s cut scenes. In a couple of scenes characters are shown being impaled by a large sword. The entry point of the attack is always obscured, although the removal of the blade is shown. The attacks never leave a visible wound or any blood, and the characters continue to talk and live for a significant amount of time following the attacks.

The game also contains frequent use of bad language (‘bitch’, ‘shit’ and ‘piss’).

There are also scenes of sexual innuendo and sexual posturing. One ‘boss’ features naked android-like women attached to the base of a structure, which move into provocative positions. The camera focusses on their chests and public areas, although no details of nipples or genitals are present.
