Content Notes
Gameplay consists of frequent combat scenarios with characters punching and kicking or using their axe to slash/stab/impale enemies. Some larger enemies are opened up to intense finishing moves showing enemies being ripped apart, dismembered, or decapitated. Strong Language is used in the dialogue.
