Commitment
Costs
Age Ratings
Rated PEGI 7 because it features mild violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to human like characters. This game features cartoon-like combat between humans and fantasy characters. The violence found in this combat is unrealistic, as are reactions to it: enemies flash on hit, disappear in puffs of smoke when defeated, only a few characters have minor hit animations, some characters kneel down when defeated. Next to that, the games also features boss-fights, some of which pit the player against a dark, menacing foe. The design of some of these monsters would likely scare young children.
ESRB EVERYONE 10+ Fantasy Violence. From a side-scrolling perspective, players traverse platforms and use swords and projectiles to kill fantasy creatures (e.g., goblins, trolls, dragons). Combat is frenetic at times, highlighted by sword-slashing sounds and cries of pain. A handful of enemies use blaster-like weapons, and some boss characters shoot multiple magical projectiles across the screen in more protracted combat.
