Rating Summary
This is a role-playing game in which players follow soldiers as they attempt to uncover secret plots and prevent a war. From a third-person perspective, players explore fantasy settings, interact with characters, and engage in battles with enemy soldiers and creatures (e.g., fish-like monsters, robots, jaguars). Combat is turn-based, with players selecting attack moves from a menu before watching brief cutscenes of their fighters slashing swords. A handful of cutscenes depict splashes of blood (e.g., a character with a bloody chest wound); in one sequence, blood-splatter effects occur during combat with fish-like enemies. The game contains some suggestive material: a character groping a female character's chest under her armor/chest plate, with accompanying dialogue (e.g., "Hmm, the armor makes 'em seem small, but they're actually about as big as Lady Bell's.”); a student flirting with her teacher (e.g., "A student and her instructor alone in a quiet classroom...Truly an ideal setting."). A few scenes depict characters drinking alcohol; one scene shows a character smoking a cigarette. The word "sh*t" can be heard in the game, and a character can be seen holding up his middle finger.
