The game presents minimal risks. There is a slight risk of competitive toxicity in multiplayer due to the competitive nature of strategy games, but this is mitigated by the game's overall design and lack of stranger chat. The violence depicted is highly abstract and low-level, with no sexual content, language, substance references, or fear-inducing elements.
