Rating Summary

This is a role-playing game in which players control a young hero who battles for survival in a modern city and a mythological underworld populated by Greek gods and monsters. Players engage in turn-based combat against small wolves, furies, gorgons, snakes, and skeleton warriors; players access attack options from the bottom screen and watch them play out in a brief animation up top; the attack animations depict characters springing forward at enemies, swinging a weapon (usually a sword), then moving back in place. Damage is indicated by depleting health bars, numbers rising above characters, frequent grunts and groans (no War cries). The dialogue also contributes to the E-10+ rating, adding a tinge of aggression to the violence (e.g., "He's a BOY! I could rip him apart without the slightest effort!" and "Die, spawn of Poseidon!! AAAAAAAAGH!" ).
