The game features intense violence with realistic depictions of warfare, including blood and gore, which may be disturbing for some players. The competitive nature of the game and online interactions could lead to exposure to toxic behavior. The historical narrative, while educational, could also be perceived as promoting a specific nationalist viewpoint. There are no clear stopping points within matches, which could make it difficult for players to disengage.
