Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 12 because it features moderate violence, scenes of moderate horror, and use of bad language. Not suitable for persons under 12 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Sci-fi role-playing game, set on a planet inhabited by two warring factions, in which players take on the roles of groups of soldiers from both sides.

Content specific issues

This game features non-realistic moderate violence involving human and fantasy characters. When human characters are hit, they flash and their health gauges reduce. When defeated, they stagger, fall down and remain on the ground for a short time before dissolving and disappearing. Some cutscenes also feature violence although the camera cuts away at crucial moments, disguising the violence. There is a scene in which a character removes his own eye. While the extraction is not shown, the bloody eye socket is seen. The game also includes use of bad language, including 'bastard', 'bitch', 'shit', 'piss' and 'bloody'.

Other issues

There is a scene in which male and female characters bathe. However, steam covers their bodies and nothing sexual occurs. This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items, in the form of an expansion pass, which some parents or carers may want to be aware of. Parents, carers or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child. It should be noted that the game can still be played without the need to purchase such items.

Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 7 because it features non-realistic violence in a child-friendly setting or context. Not suitable for persons under 7 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Action-adventure game, based on the animated TV series of the same name, in which players complete missions to rescue villagers and defeat enemies led by the villainous Monasterio.

Content specific issues

Combat forms a large part of gameplay. However, the violence is cartoon-like and slapstick in nature. Enemies are knocked down in a comical fashion and are not visibly injured. For example, they may be seen sitting down with stars circling their heads or appear confused when a hat is pulled down over their eyes. If Zorro is hit, he loses some health points. When defeated, he throws a smoke bomb onto the ground, disappearing with a yell of "Adios!" and a promise that "Zorro will return".

Content specific issues

Players must type words to cast magical spells at enemies. These enemies are non-human and have a health bar, which is diminished by the spells. When enemies are defeated, they faint and disappear.

If the protagonist is killed, she falls to the ground before the screen fades to black and the player returns to an earlier checkpoint.

Other issues

Some scenes have a sense of danger to them, although there are never any very frightening or scary situations.
