    The gameplay is a streamlined blend of familiar mechanics that delivers a satisfying experience, despite some challenges in tracking action during hectic moments and a lack of variety. While the core gameplay remains consistent, it features rewarding combat and a demanding achievement list that encourages player engagement. The nostalgic cel-shaded visuals and original voice cast further enhance the overall experience.

    • “It borrows and streamlines gameplay mechanics from other games, but makes the experience satisfying nonetheless.”
    • “Challenging gameplay with rewarding combat, cel-shaded visuals look like they're right out of the '80s, and the original voice cast adds to the nostalgia.”
    • “It's tricky to keep track of the action when it starts getting hectic; the core gameplay doesn't evolve much, and there are occasional difficulty spikes.”
    • “Devastation may not have much variety in its gameplay, but the achievement list does ask quite a lot of the player.”
  • story5 mentions

    The story mode is criticized for being very short and repetitive, requiring multiple playthroughs with different characters to unlock achievements. Players find the missions to be tedious, with some deviating from the expected melee combat, and the overall narrative experience is described as lacking depth and engagement. Additionally, the RPG-lite weapon system is seen as pointless and adds to the game's bloated feel.

    • “In order to unlock the full 1,000g on offer, you will need to play through the story mode a minimum of five times, once with each playable Autobot.”
    • “Rather short.”
    • “Missions can become repetitive.”
    • “Very short story mode; replaying the game can become repetitive.”

    • “The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and detailed environments that truly immerse you in the game world.”
    • “The art style is unique and captivating, making every scene a visual treat.”

    • “The overall visual presentation feels lackluster, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
