Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.03 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
While Crime Cities avoids modern monetization and social risks, its grim futuristic setting and focus on crime and violence may be unsuitable for younger audiences. The lack of multiplayer and social elements means it doesn't foster teamwork or communication skills.
