Instead you’ll tackle new versions of familiar diversions. Normally you’d have 30 or so main missions to tackle in addition to these side missions, but Gat out of Hell doesn’t have that on offer. There is one thing that you need to be aware of for Gat out of Hell - it is a standalone expansion pack, but the bulk of the heavy lifting comes courtesy of the always-fun distraction minigames. After Saints Row IV, I wouldn’t expect any less.ĭane Vogel: “I’ve enjoyed our time together too, but I think it’s about time we moved on.” It all unfolds as if being read from a storybook, and it’s all very silly. I know this because there is an extended singing section (you can check that out in this trailer) that explains it all, twisted-Disney style.

You see, the reason why Old Scratch has kidnapped The Boss is to force him (apparently, canon says The President is a man) to marry his daughter Jezebel. Who would you enlist? How about The Twins, Kiki and Viola DeWynter from Saints Row: The Third, Vlad the Impaler, Blackbeard the Pirate, and Shakespeare, of course! Earning their loyalty will provide the support needed to take on Mephistopheles…but this is Saints Row - you know there has to be a twist. Dane suggests that it’s not that simple, and that a few allies would smooth the process. Gat’s mission is simple enough - shoot the Devil in the face and rescue the President. He rebuilt Ultor in the underworld and has already begun turning torment into a tidy profitable venture. Vogel, the Head of Special Projects for mega-evil corporation Ultor, and voiced by returning comedian Jay Mohr, has been sent to Hell and has turned it very much to his advantage. As Gat and Kinzie enter Hell, they meet up with an old enemy from Saints Row II – Dane Vogel. Other than the 30 hidden snippets of observation dialogue, cutscenes, and the odd bit of voice work, they are essentially the same. You can also switch out to play as Kinzie at will for all but the last battle. Who doesn’t wanna be Johnny Gat?”Īll previous Saints Row games have kicked off with creating your character, but Gat out of Hell focuses on everyone’s favorite arisen sociopath. Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington jump in after to rescue their Commander in Chief, kicking off the strangest Saints Row adventure yet. Saints Row: Gat out of Hell opens right after the destruction of our planet, with the Saints aboard a hijacked space ship when, during a birthday party bit of Ouija board fun, a rift opens up on the bridge and sucks the President into Hell. It looked like this was going to be Volition putting it in park for a while to give them a chance to tackle the newest platforms over a longer stretch of time. The main character becomes President of the United States, aliens invade, and their ruler Zinyak ultimately destroys the planet. When I wrote my review of Saints Row IV, I commented that I thought it was what happens when Volition completely takes the shackles off of reality and simply lets it get weird.
