Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks in Idle Slayer stem from its high compulsion-loop design, characteristic of idle games. Features like variable rewards, infinite progression, escalating commitment, and variable reward frequency are core mechanics designed to keep players engaged for extended periods. While the game lacks direct monetization or social risks, the inherent addictive loop of continuous upgrades and rewards can lead to excessive engagement and difficulty disengaging, even with offline progress.
