Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not recommended. The game contains collectible gacha systems, in-app purchases, and fantasy combat that may be confusing and inappropriate for young children.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Generally not recommended without active parental supervision. While art is non-graphic, the presence of real-money purchases and online chat make this unsuitable as an unsupervised child's game.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Allowed with strong parental controls and purchase limits. Kids in this range can enjoy collecting and light strategy, but parents should disable purchases, monitor chat, and set time limits due to monetization and social interaction risks.

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Generally appropriate with guidance. Teens can handle the tactical gameplay and social features but should have spending controls in place and be advised about gacha mechanics and online chat safety.

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Appropriate. Older teens and adults can play freely but should remain aware of aggressive free-to-play monetization and manage spending and social interactions.
