Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.13 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.22 | |
The primary risks are related to potential for social comparison and mild competitive toxicity in online multiplayer. While there are no overt compulsion-loop design mechanics, the long-term progression and strategic depth could lead to extended play sessions. The game does not feature any monetization pressures or content risks.
