What to watch for

The game utilizes several dopamine manipulation techniques, such as variable rewards and notifications, which can encourage extended play. While not pay-to-win, it does feature microtransactions for cosmetic items and a battle pass, which may lead to some spending pressure. The competitive nature of the game and online interactions could expose players to competitive toxicity and social comparison.
