Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.17 | |
While the game avoids manipulative monetization and dopamine mechanics, its competitive multiplayer environment could lead to social comparison. The WWII setting means players will encounter realistic depictions of warfare, including violence, and potentially some mild language or substance references, though these are not central to the gameplay.
