Turret features microtransactions which may lead to uncontrolled spending, especially if they offer pay-to-win advantages. The competitive environment of PVP can foster toxicity and social comparison among players. The game also contains a high level of violence, though directed at AI drones. The implied narrative around AI and humanity could also present a subtle form of propaganda.
