As a captive demon plots to seize a magical power created by three goddesses, a young hero goes in search of the titular character, a childhood friend whose kidnapping is tied up with efforts to free the villain and realize his scheme. This upgrade on a game released 10 years ago is family-friendly for the most part since the combat in which the protagonist engages is fantastical and involves no gore. But its myths might be confusing for impressionable tots. All others will likely appreciate its enchanting story line and the quality-of-life improvements it features. Playable on Nintendo Switch. Nonscriptural religious themes, cartoonish violence. The Catholic News Service classification is A-II — adults and adolescents. The Entertainment Software Rating Board rating is E — everyone.
