Design risks

While primarily a cooperative experience, the competitive aspect of achieving high scores could lead to mild toxicity among players. The cartoonish violence, though frequent, is highly stylized and lacks realistic consequences, which may trivialize violent acts for some players. The game's narrative and character representation are predominantly male, offering limited diversity in gender and ethnicity. There are no significant monetization, compulsion-loop design, or privacy risks.
