Rating issues

Gameplay is depicted in an arcade style in which small non-detailed characters, human and fantasy, are moved one square at a time on a gridded playing area. The player’s character must defeat all opposition characters in order to reach the next level, this is achieved through the use of bladed weapons etc. When hit a character will briefly flash and disappear.

This type of violence is regarded as non-detailed and non-realistic and would attract an age rating of 7, however the defining content which leads to the age rating is depicted in a game cinematic. The gameplay cuts to a series of still images of a woman in which she is fighting another character. This is full screen. In each image there is a large dagger protruding from her chest and the wound area is surrounded by blood.
