Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.27 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.33 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.17 | |
The game contains significant mature content, including high levels of violence, strong language, and references to substances. While not heavily manipulative, the presence of microtransactions and variable rewards could encourage prolonged engagement and spending. The competitive elements in co-op could also introduce minor social risks.

- 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. Likely violations: virtual currency that obscures real-money prices.
- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.
- 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.
