| R3 | Social risk | 0.22 | |
The primary risk in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is its high level of violence, featuring dismemberment and gore. As a competitive PvP game, there is also a moderate risk of competitive toxicity and social comparison, although the absence of stranger chat mitigates some social risks. The game has no compulsion-loop design or monetization pressures.
