If you enjoy playing Brawl Stars, you may be wondering if there is an 18+ version that features special modes.
Brawl Stars only for over 18s? Game content
Brawl Stars is a popular online multiplayer game developed by Supercell that is in the action and strategy genres. It is played on mobile devices and has a large fan base worldwide, especially among younger players who are under 18 years old:
- Players choose from a variety of characters called “Brawlers,” each with their own unique abilities and super attacks. These Brawlers can be unlocked through gameplay or acquired through in-app purchases.
- The game is colorful, with cartoon-like graphics aimed at a wide age group. The presentation is non-violent and humorous, even if the battles can be quite hectic.
- Players can collect virtual currencies such as coins and gems that can be used to unlock new characters, skins, or other customizations. These currencies can also be purchased with real money.
What is the age restriction?
Brawl Stars does not contain any content that would justify an age limit of 18+:
- The combat is very simplified and the game mechanics focus more on strategy and teamwork than realistic or brutal violence. There are also no themes such as drugs, alcohol or mature content that would require a higher age rating.
- In the Apple App Store, the game is rated for ages 9 and up, and in the Android App Store it is rated for ages 6 and up. This rating is because the game is action-packed, but not violent in the sense of bloody or realistic depictions. Instead, violence is presented in a cartoonish manner.
- However, parents should always keep an eye on the games their children are playing. Even if the violence is portrayed in a humorous way, there is a serious factor behind it. The fast-paced fights can stress children and have a negative influence on them.
- It is important to observe how the child reacts to the game and make sure that they do not become overwhelmed or frightened. It is also always a good idea to offer children alternatives to playing on screens, such as sports activities, reading or creative hobbies.
