Ages 15+, but every child is different
The intense, fast-paced nature of the dungeon-crawling gameplay combined with themes of assassination and systemic violence requires a level of emotional maturity typically found in older teenagers. The repetitive, high-stakes combat environment is designed for experienced players capable of handling frustration and complex tactical mechanics.
