The game features a high level of violence, explicitly promoting the killing of 'Normies' and depicting violence against potentially defenseless targets. Its core narrative is rooted in highly problematic and divisive propaganda, with strong themes of 'us vs. them' and glorification of violence. The content is unsuitable for children and could promote harmful ideologies.

- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
- 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.
