| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks in Mars: War Logs stem from its mature content, including a high level of violence and potentially strong language, consistent with its M-rating. However, the game presents very low risks regarding compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social interaction, as it is a single-player experience with no microtransactions, loot boxes, or online social features designed to manipulate engagement or spending.

- 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.
