Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 7 because it features non-realistic violence in a child-friendly setting or context, mild violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to fantasy or mythical beings and creatures, and pictures or sounds likely to be scary to young children. Not suitable for persons under 7 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Run and gun action game, inspired by the cartoons of the 1930s and heavily focused on boss battles. This release features the original game and the DLC, The Delicious Last Course.

Content specific issues

This game features combat between human-like and fantasy characters. In both cases, characters are very cartoon-like. For instance, the human-like characters have unrealistic proportions and features. The violence itself is also unrealistic, as are reactions to it. Characters flash when hit and disappear in puffs of smoke when defeated. Reactions are exaggerated and comical. The cartoon-like visual style makes the violence less disturbing. Boss-fights are an major aspect of gameplay and the player is often pitted against huge, somewhat menacing creatures. The most notable is the final-boss fight, which pits the player against the Devil himself. This boss-fight features designs and animation that are more menacing than those found in other parts of the game, and this boss-fight in particular may scare younger children.
