Design risks

The game's core mechanic of variable loot drops and infinite progression systems can create strong compulsion-loop design, potentially leading to extended play sessions. While free from direct monetization pressures, the competitive aspect of leaderboards and social comparison around gear can be a minor social risk. The game features heavy fantasy violence and some strong language.
