Mayhem events are as they ever were (destroy property within a time limit) and so is Survival (kill three waves of enemies). There’s King of the Hill in Soul Extraction Facilities, a target-based game where you have to bat popped-collar demon bros through hoops, and one where you have to drive a damaged car without hitting anything and exploding. They’re all mindless, madcap fun and rarely feel like filler, but if you’ve played literally any game in the Saints Row series you’ll be struck by a powerful sense of deja vu.
At least your character’s abilities mark a difference. You can super sprint, super jump, and super fly, which would all be great were it not for the arbitrary stamina meter that forces you to jog about a bit while it recharges. Still, flying is exhilarating, albeit in 15-second bursts, with a flap of your angel wings propelling you to eye-watering speeds. And the Diversions associated with them, where you have to catch falling souls and race through winding skybound checkpoints, are among the game’s most engaging.
Throughout the story you’ll unlock four different supernatural powers and flick between them on the D-pad. Stomp lets you pound the ground for a destructive shockwave, Summon gives you the ability to conjure a mischievous minion who scampers up enemies’ backs and slashes them repeatedly, Aura allows you to set yourself on fire and spread it to others, and Blast turns foes to stone ready to be shattered.
Handily, each has a separate cooldown meter so you can use one while another recharges and chain frantic attacks. Start with a stomp, for instance, before flinging a summon to act as a distraction, then use blast or aura, then switch back to stomp and repeat until your eyes go weird. Modifications on your four existing powers, unlocked by activating an altar, before surviving an onslaught of leather-clad demons, buzzsaw imps, and kamikaze monster trucks, mix things further. Stomp has both a vacuum modifier that sucks in enemies, and a flash version that stuns everyone with holy light.
