Terraria Wii U given ESRB rating

by rawmeatcowboy
29 June 2015
GN Version 5.0

Rating Category: Teen

Content Descriptors: Alcohol Reference, Blood and Gore, Cartoon Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes

Other: Includes online features that may expose players to unrated user-generated content (PS Vita, Wii U)

Rating Summary: This is a side-scrolling adventure game in which players explore various terrain while crafting objects and battling foes. As players search and mine for materials (e.g., dirt, wood, metal ores), they often encounter fantastical/”cartoony” enemies such as slime creatures, vultures, zombies, and flying eyeballs. Players use swords and axes to slash at enemies; some enemies emit small drops of blood when struck, while other creatures burst into pieces when killed. The dialogue also describes manner of death in detail: “[Player]'s face was torn off by Zombie” and “[Player] was eviscerated by Zombie.” Some dialogue contains suggestive material: 'What do you mean, she don't sell anything?” “I don't give happy endings,' and 'Too bad she's such a prude.” Players can craft power-up/enhancement items that include kegs, and mugs of ale; player's status sometimes indicates “tipsy” in on-screen text.

Thanks to TheDreamingHawk for the heads up!
