About This Game

Gang Beasts is a silly, physics-based local and online multiplayer party brawler where floppy, gelatinous characters punch, grab, and throw each other into comical hazards (fans, trains, incinerators) to be the last one standing. Tone is slapstick and non-graphic — the violence is cartoonish and intentionally silly rather than realistic. citeturn2search1turn0search1

Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not recommended. The E10+ rating and multiplayer chaos make it unsuitable for very young children (supervision required). citeturn0search1

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Generally not recommended unsupervised; may be okay for short, supervised local play with parents controlling match settings and who joins. Avoid unsupervised online matchmaking and discuss that cosmetics may cost money. citeturn1search0turn0search3

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Appropriate with parental guidance: fun local play is suitable for this age, but limit or supervise online play (stranger interaction) and discuss in-game purchases before allowing spending. citeturn0search1turn1search0

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Suitable for teens; encourage online safety, set time limits, and be aware of optional cosmetic purchases. Multiplayer is social but can expose players to unmoderated chat. citeturn0search1turn1search0

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Appropriate. Players should manage spending on optional cosmetics and use standard online-safety practices when playing with strangers. citeturn1search0turn0search3
