The primary risks in Star Renegades stem from its rogue-lite design, which can lead to extended play sessions and a feeling of 'just one more run,' potentially penalizing breaks. While monetization risks are absent, the narrative presents a clear good vs. evil scenario that, while common in RPGs, could be considered mild propaganda.
