The Board explained in a statement that the violent scenes – originally deemed too graphic for Australia due to the lack of an R rating for games – can be allowed at an MA15+ level as they "are not prolonged and are interspersed with longer non violent sequences".
"The violence is fantastical in nature and justified by the context of the game, set in a futuristic science-fiction world, inhabited by aliens and predators," the Board said.
"This context serves to lessen its impact."
"The more contentious violence is randomly generated and is not dependent on player selection of specific moves."
Earlier this month, the game's UK developer had refused to modify the game after the initial Australian ban.
"We will not be releasing a sanitised or cut down version for territories where adults are not considered by their governments to be able to make their own entertainment choices," Rebellion Developments told gaming blog CVG.
"Our game is not suitable for game players who are not adults."
Australia is one of the only developed nations in the world without an R18+ rating for games.
This month, the Government called for public input on the matter after seeing research that shows the average Australian gamer is aged 30.
Lets hope this can pass for some future games as well
