Rating issues

The majority of violence in the game consists mainly of turn-based combat, with characters striking each other or casting spells. Reactions are often very mild. However, some stronger violence appears in cut scenes. Characters are thrown against a wall by magic in one example. In another, a man is stabbed through the stomach with a large sword, though there is no blood or visible injury. The game also features a casino where players can purchase tokens and partake in a simplified roulette game and bet on a slot machine, with basic on-screen instructions.
