Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.07 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.11 | |
The game features frequent action violence and some strong language, consistent with its dark superhero setting. While it avoids manipulative monetization and social risks, players should be mindful of the content. The RPG progression system provides inherent variable rewards, which can be engaging but are not designed to be overly manipulative.
