The smaller cast offers more room to create better-defined characters as players get to know about the down-and-out group. Meanwhile, Eli, the brains of the operation, is constantly looking for ways to make money using his tech skills. The protagonist lives with three roommates: Kev and Neenah both have ties to the city’s respective gangs, the Idols and Panteros. Inspired by Texas, Las Vegas and a little bit of Albuquerque, players create their own version of the Boss, who happens to be a grunt for Marshall, a private military corporation. “Saints Row” is more grounded as players explore a new city called Santo Ileso. Players will face off against three major gangs in “Saints Row”: The Idols, the Panteros and the Marshall private military coproration. With a blank canvas, the team could reset everything about the series after its absurdity escalated to the point where the heroes battled aliens. That’s the knife’s edge that the developers at Volition are constantly walking with this reboot. The campaign asks players to do plenty of odd things, but it never seems too absurd. That’s what sets it apart from the “Grand Theft Autos” and the “Far Crys” of the world.įans know they’re playing a “Saints Row” game when they say, “I can’t believe I’m doing this.” It’s a refrain I found myself saying as I hauled toxic waste around the city streets or while I was engaging in an intense live-action role-playing battle, in which I nonlethally dispatched my enemies. Although the “Saints Row” reboot moves the series to a fresh city, introduces a new crew and updates the general structure of the open-world crime game, the humor remains intact.
