Ages 10+, but every child is different
The game centers on constant combat and monster-slaying, requiring a level of digital dexterity and focus that may frustrate younger children. While the pixelated aesthetic mitigates realistic violence, the repetitive nature of killing hordes of enemies is best suited for pre-teens.
