This game poses exceptionally low risks. It is a one-time purchase title with no microtransactions, loot boxes, battle passes, or subscriptions, completely eliminating monetization pressures. The local co-op design and absence of online stranger chat ensure minimal social risks. Content risks are also very low, aligning with its E10+ rating, with only mild cartoonish violence from explosives and a boss battle.
