Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop

Age Appropriate
What is the minimum recommended age for this game? Is there blood, bad language, etc?

The best way to make an informed decision about the suitability for your child is to find the time to play the game yourself. It's not a huge game and if you can spare 30mins (not always easy as a parent i understand) you'll have a good idea of what the game contains.

Age ratings arn't an ideal system. There's no arbitary age where you're mature enough for something, it's different for everyone. I don't believe this game has an official age rating.

To answer your questions:

Blood & Gore: Yes, there's a fair amount of blood and gore, you're blasting aliens to pieces, and chunks go flying.

Bad Language: Possibly in the game itself (I can't be sure, it's certainly not extensive if it is) but the likelyhood of encountering bad language goes way up when you're playing online with others as is the case with any multiplayer game.

Those are the two potential problem points in my mind. there's no sexual references,drug use or any of that jazz to worry about.

That's a but much. As was said above there's blood, and I think the only bad language is in online from other players. There's guns and explosives and not much else. If you just play a bit on your own you'll get an idea.

In my opinion, it's only slightly gory, and I don't play with sound, so I don't know about that, but as it being a multiplayer game, it all depends on who you play with xD

I watched Happy Tree Friends as a kiddo and never had to worry about legal age matters.

Characters do say "no-no"s, but infrequently. There is a mod to turn off useless chatter between characters so there's less of it however.

I think that this game is for each players in 16+.

I personally think if it were to be rated it would be T for Teen because of drug/alcohol references, blood and gore (alien gore), violence, and language. Online Interactions are not rated.

If you're really that concerned, you'd playtest it yourself.

Well one guy literally goes BASTARD PIECE OF ♥♥♥♥. Ironically, his own name Bastille is pretty close to "bastard" lol

13 or older for this game. It is violent but its good training for when we get invaded by aliens. Only thing you have to worry about is other adult players. But don't be delusional, kids can get to hear that language just from going on youtube.

There's a real adrenaline problem in this game... I mean that adrenaline is an item you can use to slow down time. That's the closest thing to drugs.
