Rating issues

This game contains sustained depictions of death and injury towards human-like and fantasy characters. The combat is turn-based with the characters only being able to move around a grid on the floor. The violence is primarily non-realistic with characters using various spells to attack their enemies. The attacks cause bright lights and magical effects to appear on impact. The reactions to the violence are realistic in nature, with characters screaming in pain and stumbling back when they have been attacked. Occasionally characters will bleed, and blood will begin to pool up on the floor. All the characters feature a heath bar above their heads, when the health bar has been depleted the character will fall to the floor and quickly vanish. This game also contains encouragement of the use of alcohol. Throughout the game the player can purchase various alcoholic beverages that provide a temporary advantage to the player and their stats.
