Age Ratings
This game has been rated ESRB EVERYONE 10+.
Rated PEGI 7 with violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to fantasy or mythical beings and creatures, mild violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to human-like characters and non-realistic violence in a child-friendly setting or context.
The VSC expand on its rating: The protagonist, as well as most of the enemies, are fantasy characters. The violence portrayed is unrealistic and has a cartoony and comical context. You use an array of fantastical weapons to take care of enemies, which when they die, generally explode or disintegrate and leave behind the in-game currency (bolts). The game features weird, hostile aliens that can look disturbing. The game does feature some violence towards human-like characters, but this is limited to unrealistic violence. The game has a bright colourful graphics scheme. Difficult or disturbing scenes are mostly always lightened up by a joke.
Users Interact: The game enables players to interact and communicate with each other, so may expose players to language usually associated with older rated games.
