Parental concerns are mainly mild language and periodic action violence rather than sexual content or strong slurs. Language stays relatively light for the genre, with occasional mild swearing and teasing insults during teamwork and arguments. Expect injury and death related to accidents, illness adjustment, raids, and fights, including blood and brief physical restraint, without sexual themes in the sampled material.
