Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.07 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risk is the presence of combat violence, which is central to the game's tactical gameplay. However, the game exhibits very low risks related to manipulative design, monetization pressures, or social-emotional harms due to its single-player, one-time purchase model.
