Devastation has a dynamic tactical component that allows the gamer to decide how much control to exert over non-player character teammates, from giving individual commands to giving no commands at all-game players can coordinate an 8-person attack, or go in guns blazing, it's their choice. With 32 different areas, more than 30 different weapons, numerous multiplayer game styles and over-the-top graphics, Devastation offers FPS fans a captivating experience.

The game not only uses next-generation Unreal technology, but it also incorporates real-world physics, providing for realistic object movements and incredible rag-doll deaths. The environment is completely interactive, where everything can be destroyed or manipulated-use garbage in the streets to set traps, or pick up broken bottles and slash your enemies. The use of sound in the game is dynamic as well--it can be manipulated or muffled to create diversions or to move around stealthily.
