The game encourages communication and collaboration among friends to achieve high scores and climb leaderboards.
Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.22 | |
The game's strong emphasis on violence and its 'trivialized' nature, where violence is played for laughs and without consequences, could desensitize players. The narrative, which involves attacking villages for 'volunteers', could be seen as promoting harmful ideologies. The competitive nature and endless modes, combined with elements of compulsion-loop design like variable rewards and near misses, could encourage extended play sessions. While there are no direct monetization risks, the game's focus on leaderboards and commitment mechanics could lead to social comparison and identity issues for some players.
