Diverse cast of characters and great style wasted in an underwhelming destruction derby game.
I’ll start out positive and say that Destruction AllStars has one of the most diverse starting rosters I’ve seen in a multiplayer game in ages, and they should be praised for it. On top of that, the game has a fun art style that I think fits pretty well.
That said, all that is wasted on a game that is unfortunately not very good. It’s completely wild that they opted to charge $70 for this. Glad I got it free on PS+. It has 3 multiplayer modes (that are more or less the same - wreck cars) across 3 maps and a handful of single player “challenges” that take place on one of said multiplayer maps. That’s it. The game is also riddled with microtransactions which can be OK for some games, but to charge $70 for a game that is devoid of content and then charge money on top of that for cosmetics is gross.
And even if all of the above wasn’t true and it had great content, the gameplay itself is just fine. It’s nothing special, really. It’s just not very fun.
+ Great diverse cast of characters
+ Fun visual style
- Completely devoid of content
- Riddled with microtransactions
- Weirdly no music outside of unique character themes that only play on the character select screen
- Gameplay itself isn’t even very fun
