ESRB Age Rating Summary:
Dungeons 3 is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol, and Violence. Also includes In-Game Purchases. This is a strategy game in which players assume the role of a dungeon lord trying to expand his empire. From a 3/4-overhead perspective, players create underground passageways and dungeons, gather resources, and command minions to battle invading enemies. Characters (e.g., trolls, goblins, mages) use swords, knives, arrows, and magic attacks to hack and slash at soldiers; blood splashes occur during battle and can linger on the battlefield. Cutscenes also depict brief cartoony gore: a head impaled on a spike, a severed foot, a head used as a chalice by a demon. Some levels depict succubus demons wearing revealing outfits (e.g., deep cleavage). During the course of the game, players can build a brewery; characters are also depicted drinking beer. The word “sh*t” appears in the dialogue.

Parental Notes
While many parents praise the gameplay experience, they caution that Dungeons 3 is not suitable for young kids. The game includes mild profanity, with the word “sh*t” appearing in dialogue. Violence is present, with characters using weapons and magic to battle enemies, resulting in blood splashes and brief cartoony gore, such as severed body parts. The game also features mild suggestive themes, with succubus demons in revealing outfits, and includes the depiction of alcohol use, as characters can build a brewery and drink beer. Many parents recommend this game for teens 13 and older due to these mature themes and the presence of in-game purchases.
