Parent Verdict

The vintage-cartoon violence is harmless, but the story involves a literal deal with the Devil and casino imagery, and the brutal difficulty will reduce younger kids to tears — this game is hard even for adults. Local co-op with a parent is the best way in. About 10-plus, mostly for frustration tolerance.
