Blood, Crude Humor, Fantasy Violence
This is an action-adventure game in which players engage in hunting missions in a fantastical world filled with monsters. Players use swords, lances, bombs, and firearms to kill various creatures (e.g., dragons, dinosaurs, sand sharks) and complete missions/quests. Battles are accompanied by impact sounds, cries of pains, and realistic explosions. Red blood-like spurts briefly appear as characters and monsters are injured. During the course of the game, players can throw “dung bombs” at enemies, resulting in depictions of greenish-brown clouds; in one sequence, a monster performs a flatulence attack against players.
