Advice for consumers
This game has received a PEGI 7 because it features mild violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to fantasy or mythical beings and creatures, violence against humans that is not shown but is implied, and non-realistic looking violence towards characters which, although human, are not very detailed. Not suitable for persons under 7 years of age.

Content specific issues
The games in this collection feature various forms of non-detailed violence towards both human-like and fantasy characters. Violence and reactions are unrealistic in nature: characters do not display visible harm, reactions are non-detailed, and enemies disappear when defeated. The non-detailed visuals help to make the violence less disturbing.
