Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.28 | |
The game presents significant content risks due to its extreme violence, including X-Rays and Fatalities, consistent with its M-rating. Social risks include competitive toxicity and social comparison through online leaderboards in Faction Wars. While it features card collection, the absence of microtransactions, loot boxes, and subscriptions significantly reduces compulsion-loop design and monetization pressures compared to many mobile games.
