The story in "Chaos on Wheels" is praised for its engaging narrative that evokes nostalgia for classic car combat games like Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8. Players appreciate the campaign's structure, which combines skirmish-style objectives with additional story elements presented through voiced-over text, enhancing the overall experience.
“Chaos on Wheels in a nutshell is a riveting car combat game that tells a great story while bringing back that wonderful old-school arcade feeling that existed back in the days of Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8, as I played the hell out of both of those constantly!”

“It reminds me of Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense missions; the goal is mostly the same as in a skirmish, but with some extra objectives and some story in voiced-over text at the start of the mission.”
