Violence, fear, nudity?<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The game asks us to fight monsters with cannons and harpoons, but the aesthetic is cartoonish and the violence abstract. <\/p>\n\n

The aesthetic a little gothic could perhaps put off the youngest children, but again, the game is not made to scare the public and is more funny. <\/p>\n\n

Difficulty<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The game is quite difficult, even more so if your child plays alone. Ship of Fools was designed to be completed with others, and the weapon provided to help solo players (a cannon that fires automatically) hardly replaces a human being. <\/p>\n\n

Ship of Fools is also a roguelike, that is, a game that invites us to start again several times, hoping to progress a little more with each attempt. In this sense, the game is not designed to be completed in one try. <\/p>\n\n

Each failed attempt gives us advantages that make subsequent tries easier, but easily frustrated players may not benefit. <\/p>\n\n

Minimum controller execution level required<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

There are few buttons to remember, but you have to be fast and precise when aiming with your gun, in addition to managing several elements at once (moving the guns from one side of the ship to the other, reloading weapons, repairing the ship). <\/p>\n\n

Language level used<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The characters can sometimes have a very slightly rude humor (within the limits of acceptable for a young audience, we reassure you). <\/p>\n\n

Positive message<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

You try to save the archipelago from monster villains, and you usually try to help its inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n

Minimum reading level required<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

There are some dialogues only in writing, but these are rather optional. However, it will be necessary to know how to read a minimum to understand the (simple) descriptions of the objects that we recover during our quest. <\/p>\n\n

Additional costs ?<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

None.<\/p>\n\n
