The game presents risks primarily through its loot box system, which introduces variable rewards and potential for social comparison. While not heavily monetized like some free-to-play titles, the presence of microtransactions for 'outfits with special effects' could lead to spending pressure and a perception of pay-to-win elements. The competitive nature of fighting games also carries a moderate risk of competitive toxicity.
