Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.17 | |
The game's competitive multiplayer mode carries a risk of competitive toxicity. While stranger chat is absent, social comparison can still occur. The presence of microtransactions, particularly for in-game upgrades, introduces a potential pay-to-win dynamic and spending prompts. As an ESRB M-rated game, it features mature content, including significant violence inherent to its World War II setting.
