Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.11 | |
This game carries an ESRB M rating due to its high level of violence, including 'plenty of blood,' and potentially strong language. While it lacks manipulative monetization or compulsion-loop mechanics, its challenging nature could lead to frustration for some players. Social interaction is minimal, with no stranger chat, and competitive elements are limited to in-game modes like 'Ninja Race' which may involve some social comparison.
