The game's story revolves around completing various demolition missions, which are generally straightforward but can become repetitive due to limited content and a lack of engaging narrative depth. While some missions offer fun challenges, particularly those involving explosives, many players find the overall experience lacks longevity, with only a few hours of gameplay before running out of new content. The missions provide a mix of objectives, but the simplistic storyline and occasional tedious tasks detract from the overall enjoyment.
- “The story mode is way too serious, you can easily mod the game files for infinite money and XP so you can buy every tool and vehicle, so you can mess around a bit.”
- “I think my favorite mission was the clock tower; if you pack the explosives just right, most of the structure goes skyward and then it rains bricks for a while afterward.”
- “There is a variety of missions with different structures and different tool sets and objectives.”
- “The story mode is way too serious; you can easily mod the game files for infinite money and XP so you can buy every tool and vehicle, allowing you to mess around a bit.”
- “Full of minor bugs, a few glitches, and only about 5-7 hours worth of missions before you're done.”
- “Fairly simplistic, mundane 'storyline' with some challenging aspects.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered dated and below modern standards, with many users noting issues such as bugs, glitches, and simplistic visuals reminiscent of older titles.

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, particularly in the early stages and during larger map exploration, where scrap collection can become monotonous. While the initial grind may detract from the experience, the engaging destruction physics and potential for future expansions or sequels keep players interested. Overall, the grind is seen as a minor flaw in an otherwise enjoyable game.
- “The game is short and is a bit grindy in the beginning, but the destruction physics make up for it.”
- “My only real faults thus far are that it can be hard to tell when the game has decided pieces of debris are broken, causing the player to waste time drilling pieces that don't need it, and that the scrap collection, while a fun diversion at first, becomes very tedious as the maps get bigger (the scrap is not mandatory, however).”
- “Cons: slightly boring at first and the airport missions can be tedious.”
