“One game which includes all maps from the previous games, all modifiers, all modes, all saints, etc., and which also includes basic options found in other indie games such as volume controllers for the game's music and sound effects, and the ability to switch between windowed and full-screen mode using an in-game option (instead of having to rely on alt + enter).”

The game lacks a substantial story, primarily focusing on grinding for high scores without any meaningful narrative or strategic gameplay. While there is a minimal context suggesting a violent outlet for human tendencies, it fails to provide the depth or originality found in previous titles, leaving players wanting more in terms of storytelling. Overall, the absence of a compelling story detracts from the overall experience.
“The story is a simple excuse for the action: the real world is peaceful, but humans need violence and created the uber-mosh-pit so they can exercise their violent tendencies.”
“No story or anything, just grind for progress.”
“There is no story, no goal except beating your own high score, and no real way to implement any type of strategic gameplay.”
“Still, it didn't do enough to satisfy me, especially since most of the stuff already existed in previous games and there is basically no story or at least a little bit of context like in the other games.”
