The primary risks associated with BlazBlue Calamity Trigger are related to competitive toxicity, as the game is a player-vs-player fighting game. While the game does not feature microtransactions, loot boxes, or subscriptions, the competitive nature could lead to frustration. The violence depicted is typical of fighting games, with characters engaging in combat, but it is stylized and not graphic. There is some mild language. The game lacks significant social or collaborative elements.
