Violence

This game contains depictions of graphic violence towards human-like characters. Some of the more powerful attacks cause dismemberment and decapitation, with large amounts of blood flowing from wounds. Bodies fall to the floor with severed body parts lying around the torso. During combat, blood effects are shown and characters can be heard grunting and screaming in pain. Substantial attacks will cause characters to lose their balance and topple to the floor where they are temporarily incapacitated.
