The game's primary risk lies in its historical context, focusing on German U-boats during WWII, which could potentially normalize or valorize a problematic historical period without adequate external context. The competitive multiplayer aspect may also expose players to some toxicity. While there are no direct monetization risks, the lack of natural stopping points in missions could lead to extended play sessions.
