Steam reviews

What players say

Players who loved classic Rampage find a fun, short destruction romp; many reviewers were put off by preachy politics and repetitive levels.

Most players who recommend the game praise the physics-based destruction, where buildings topple and crumble realistically, and the kick mechanic that launches people and cars into chain reactions. Many compare it favourably to classic Rampage, and reviewers like the pixel art, the dark satirical humour and the co-op play. Critics say the campaign is short, around two to three hours, and that the gameplay grows repetitive, with too little variety in objectives and monsters. Some dislike the heavy-handed political messaging about climate change and corporations, and a few object to the swearing and the violence against civilians, including children. Recent reviews are more critical than the older helpful ones and lean negative on the politics and repetition, while Steam's overall totals remain very positive.

    Many players
  • Kick and throw mechanics

    Some players

Criticised

  • Short campaign

    The story mode takes only about two to three hours, which many found too brief.

    Many players
  • Repetitive gameplay

    Levels and monsters feel samey, and the loop grows tiresome after a while.

    Some players
  • Heavy-handed politics

    Reviewers find the climate and corporate messaging preachy and intrusive.

    Some players
  • Violence and profanity

    Players object to the frequent swearing and the killing of civilians, including children.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who love the classic Rampage arcade formula, short sessions and local co-op with friends or family will get the most out of it.
Who should skip it
Players who want a long campaign, deep progression or no preachy messaging should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with short playtimes mostly praise the fun of the first hours, while those who played longer report repetition and a lack of variety.
