The game's story is described as minimal and primarily serves as a backdrop for its gameplay, which focuses on chaotic destruction rather than a deep narrative. Players navigate through various hotels, gradually upgrading their abilities to cause mayhem, with the overarching goal of earning rewards for their destructive antics. While the premise is intriguing, the experience leans more towards a series of mini-games and challenges than a cohesive story.
“You go from hotel to hotel, taking your weak little body around to cause as much damage as possible. Since you're a tiny weak character with no teeth or muscle and missing a few fingers, you can buy and mix and match crazy weapons and props to cause insane levels of destruction. Yes, you start out struggling to break a plate, but as you progress, you have guns, explosives, and all types of mayhem-causing contraptions at your disposal. There are also mini-games, challenges, sandbox mode, leaderboards, and more to give you plenty to do on top of the story.”
“While I love the premise, the game is much more designed to be a cathartic minigame than a narrative story, which isn't exactly what I was hoping for.”
“The goal is to destroy the rooms, get money, buy more items to break even more stuff at a faster and more expansive rate, and the devil will reward you for all of it, making you a rockstar with infamy!”
