In-game purchases are also referenced.Here's the full summary going into the specifics:"This is a role-playing game in which players lead characters on missions to save the human race. As players explore a hostile alien planet, they interact with characters, complete missions, and engage in combat against aliens and human-like creatures. Players use lasers, energy weapons, mechanized suits, and swords to kill enemies. Battles are fast-paced, highlighted by slashing sounds, realistic gunfire, and large explosions. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: characters executed/shot off-screen; creatures impaled by swords, resulting in black blood-splatter effects. The game contains some suggestive material: female characters wearing revealing outfits (e.g., deep cleavage, partially exposed breasts); camera angles that linger on characters' breasts/buttocks. During the course of the game, characters are sometimes depicted drunk; in one mission, players can bond with other characters by ordering them drinks/consuming alcohol (e.g., Agree to a drink and Offer to buy the next round). The word a*shole appears in the game."Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube795kWatch on YouTube Unsurprisingly, this rating is the same as the Nintendo Wii U release, which originally made its debut in 2015.Nintendo will be offering a digital pre-order and purchase deal with Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition if you get the game before 6th April 2025.
