Is Enshrouded safe for your child?

Age guide

13+

We advise Enshrouded from age 13 and up. Overall risk 6/10 (medium risk).

5-8
This game is not suitable for this age group due to its complex survival mechanics, combat, and themes of a blighted world.
9-12
Some older children might be drawn to the building and exploration aspects, but the survival elements, combat against mutated creatures, and resource management are likely too challenging without significant parental guidance.
13-15
Teenagers can engage with 'Enshrouded's' crafting, base building, and cooperative exploration, but the game's combat and the atmospheric 'Shroud' areas can be intense.
16+
Older teens will appreciate the deep crafting systems, challenging boss encounters, and the freedom to explore and build in a large, open world, especially when playing cooperatively with friends.

Enshrouded is a survival action RPG set in a vast, voxel-based continent of Embervale, where players must fight against a corrupting fog called the Shroud. Players craft, build, and explore while battling dangerous creatures and uncovering ancient mysteries.
