Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.10 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
The primary risks involve mature content due to its depiction of wartime violence. While not gratuitous, the game features combat against human enemies. There is also a strong, uncritical narrative that could be considered propaganda, glorifying one side of the conflict.
