Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Shadow Hunter: Lost Worlds is an action game for iOS devices. Gameplay features a lot of fighting -- battles are the main activity. Kids use a variety of weapons and abilities in fights. They aren't always given much information up-front about what each one involves, and due to the scale of the images, it's sometimes hard to see exactly what's happening. Players fight creatures to the death, and the main character can die, but kids won't see excessive blood or anguish -- characters essentially collapse. There's no formal introduction to the game. Kids are dropped into it and will have to figure out how to play as they go. They can buy some extras to help, such as packages of in-app currency, which are sold for real-world money. They don't really need to, though -- they can play for some time without even checking what purchases are available, and they won't see constant ads for those or other items. Although the first screen kids see when they download and open the app looks a bit iffy -- the image appears to contain a woman with her eyes closed who is topless, with tree branches covering part of her chest -- that type of visual seems to be an anomaly in the game.
