Is Gang Beasts safe for your child?

Age guide

10+

We advise Gang Beasts from age 10 and up. Overall risk 5/10 (medium risk).

5-8
This game is generally not recommended for this age group due to its chaotic, physics-based combat and the potential for frustration from being repeatedly eliminated.
9-12
Children in this age range can enjoy the local multiplayer 'beat 'em up' mode with friends or family, which focuses on humorous physical comedy rather than serious competition.
13-15
Teenagers might engage with the online multiplayer mode, where they can compete against strangers, which introduces exposure to unmoderated player chat and more competitive play.
16+
Older players can fully appreciate the game's nuanced physics and strategic elements in both local and online play, often participating in community events or competitive matches.

Gang Beasts is a silly multiplayer party game with gelatinous characters, brutal slapstick fight sequences, and absurd hazardous environments. Players control customizable, wobbly fighters who battle it out in various dangerous locations, trying to throw each other off the stage.
