Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.20 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game contains mature content, including significant violence, consistent with its ESRB M rating and theme of fighting oppression. While it avoids manipulative monetization and social risks, players should be prepared for intense combat scenarios. Some mild compulsion-loop design exists through variable rewards and progression systems, but these are not designed to be overly addictive.
