Notes: The Monastery includes physical violence due to its battle scenes, but these are not shown in a realistic way. A showcase of weapons can also be expected. Among the enemies, there will be zombies and other scary-looking creatures, including huge spiders. Players with arachnophobia might want to take this into consideration.
