Blood and Gore, Nudity, Violence
This is a platformer game in which players hack and slash their way through the fantastical world of Cvstodia. From a 2D side-scrolling perspective, players traverse platforms while using a sword and special/magical attacks to kill enemies (e.g., ghouls, demons, monsters, corpses) and boss creatures in frenetic combat. Large blood-splatter effects appear frequently during gameplay, and several enemies can be torn into pieces or blown apart. One boss battle depicts a colossal figure tearing apart players' character; a human-like enemy splits apart vertically upon death. Cutscenes depict further instances of violence: a character getting impaled by a sword; a character's helmet filling up with blood from a wound. During the course of the game, some creatures are depicted with exposed breasts and buttocks; certain male creatures' genitalia can be seen briefly in the background.
