The summary describes that players take on the role of a warrior facing various types of enemies. The blood and violence rating is related to what players can expect from Dragon Age: The Veilguard's combat. According to the board, the RPG presents cries of pain, explosions, and blood-splatter effects, while some cutscenes depict characters being impaled and shriveled corpses. There are several mentions of blood throughout the game, either in scenes or gameplay, including a boss battle that occurs in a large pool of blood.
