Release Dates & Platforms:
  • Nintendo 3DS - 25/05/2018

Advice for consumers

This game was rated PEGI 7 because it features violence that lacks any apparent harm or injury to fantasy or mythical beings and creatures and contains non-realistic violence in a child-friendly setting or context.

Brief outline of the game

The Dead Heat Breakers is an action tower defence game where players control the armadillo Dillon from Dillon’s Rolling Western and fight against alien rock invaders. It’s up to you to form a team of heroes and keep the world safe.

Content specific issues

The violence portrayed is unrealistic and aimed at fantasy characters. The bad guys (rock aliens) explode when defeated and leave items laying around for you to pick up. The setting of the game is rather dark, post-apocalyptic, but the nice animal inhabitants of the world tune this setting down a bit. Enemies can be taken down by laser guns or melee attacks.
