Pounding the ground is another superpower type that serves as an area attack and can be useful when surrounded by a mob. You can also use a superpower type called Buff that affects objects and people in your vicinity as well as any bullets you fire. You can use various elements to cast superpowers such as freezing, burning or telekinesis. You can superjump, supersprint, air dash and glide around virtual Steelport, making cars redundant and also giving the real world travel a very lethargic feel. Superpowers replace the throwable weapons and some basic travelling functions too. The Trouble with Clones DLC in Saints Row the Third gave us a teaser of the superpowers Volition was experimenting with. The ‘Hacking’ minigame that lets you unlock stores.
The only way to break this orderly world is to cause chaos, something you are extremely good at. Something feels off due to all the pixellation around the people and your suspicions are confirmed by Kinzie, who reveals that you are trapped in a virtual world called the Simulation. Waking up, you find yourself in an ideal 50’s world where everyone is too nice, courteous and a stickler for the rules. They abduct most of your cabinet and finally, You. As you are about to host a press conference, the Earth is attacked by aliens called the Zin under the leadership of Emperor Zinyak. You end up in the White House (now called the White Crib) as the President of the United States. The story of the game begins with you defeating your old nemesis from the previous game, Cyrus Temple. The enemies have also become harder to kill and provide more of a challenge early on. The addition of Superpowers completely changes the gameplay, since the player is now able to unleash a lot more chaos in the city.
However, the game has enough gameplay additions and tweaks to feel like a proper sequel. Saints Row IV may be critiqued as a low effort rehash of Saints Row the Third, given its usage of the same models and map of Steelport.
