Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
The game contains frequent, graphic violence with dismemberment and gore, strong language, and some sexualized content. While played for laughs and over-the-top, the trivialization of violence is a concern. The competitive aspect of multiplayer could lead to some toxicity, but the single-player experience is the primary focus. There are no significant monetization or compulsion-loop design risks.
