As a competitive fighting game, CHAOS CODE may expose players to mild competitive toxicity, though this is primarily limited to local play given the lack of online chat. The game contains stylized violence typical of the fighting genre.

  • DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.: Estimated from review data. No dark pattern or child-targeting concerns found.
  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
  • ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.

These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.

Parents ask…

Is CHAOS CODE safe for kids?

Ludograph gives CHAOS CODE a rating of 65/100, recommended for ages 17 and up. It offers solid benefits but needs parental guidance on the risks.

What age is CHAOS CODE appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 17+ for CHAOS CODE, based on benefits, risks, and content review. That is stricter than ESRB T, because our assessment weighs behavioral design risks, not just content.

How long should kids play CHAOS CODE?

We don't publish a daily session budget for CHAOS CODE: its design-risk score sits in our highest band, where limiting time alone doesn't address the risks. For children we suggest choosing an alternative instead.

What are the main risks of CHAOS CODE?
