Content specific issues
This game contains frequent depictions of non-realistic looking violence towards both human-like and animal-like characters. Violence can be inflicted using melee weapons, projectiles, explosives and magical spells. Regardless of the type of weapon used, the reaction to the violence remains unrealistic in nature, with no blood or injuries shown. Bright lights and magical effects appear when characters are hit. When enemy characters have been defeated, they fall to the floor and immediately vanish into a puff of smoke, leaving behind various items for the player to take. When the player's character is defeated, it falls down without visible injuries.
Other issues
Some characters are slightly frightening and the music used to accompany these characters is creepy and menacing.
