Parent Pro-Tip

Before allowing your teen to play Age of Conan, review the M-rated content together — particularly the combat violence and suggestive themes — and decide if it's appropriate for your household. Set clear session time limits in advance, as the open-ended MMO format makes it very easy for hours to slip by unnoticed.

Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.Fails the test

While female characters exist in the game's lore and world, meaningful named-female-to-named-female dialogue about something other than men is not a consistent or documented feature of the game's narrative.

Parent Pro-Tip

If your teen enjoys fantasy literature, history, or storytelling, Age of Conan's deep Hyborian Age lore can be a great springboard for conversations about mythology, ancient cultures, and narrative craft. Playing in a guild with known friends also offers real practice in online communication, teamwork, and digital citizenship.

What your child develops

Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer offers meaningful cognitive engagement for older teens and adults. Its rich lore, complex quest dialogues, and RPG systems demand strong reading comprehension and strategic character-building thinking. Players must plan skill trees, manage inventory economies, and navigate large, intricate environments, exercising spatial awareness and long-term strategic planning. The MMO structure provides genuine opportunities for teamwork in group dungeons and raids, fostering communication and cooperative problem-solving. The mature Hyborian Age setting, drawn from classic fantasy literature, can also spark interest in world history, mythology, and storytelling.
