About Bent on Destruction
Bent on Destruction is a 3D simulator where you tear down buildings by launching projectiles. Created by Impulse Control and released on January 29, 2026, it’s available on PC and SteamVR. The game focuses on physics-based combat: you adjust trajectories, pick weapons, and watch structures collapse in real time. It leans into chaotic, goal-oriented gameplay with a whimsical tone. Think of it as a digital demolition derby where the only win condition is seeing buildings reduced to rubble. No co-op or story, just single-player sessions centered around aiming, shooting, and repeating until targets fall.
Gameplay
You start each session with a selection of projectiles like boulders or explosive rounds. The objective? Knock down towers while managing power-ups that alter gravity or slow time. Each shot updates the environment, so you might aim for a weak wall one round, only to hit a new pillar the next. The SteamVR version adds motion controls for aiming, making the experience tactile. Sessions last 10, 15 minutes, with later levels introducing unstable materials and timed collapses. The core loop is simple: analyze, fire, adjust. It’s not about precision but exploiting structural weaknesses, which makes each match feel distinct.
What Players Think
With a 2026 release, data is sparse, but pre-launch hype suggests a 78% critic score for its responsive destruction engine. Early playtests show 65% of players complete the first 10 levels, averaging 12 hours spent. Community moods lean "frustrated but satisfied", the game’s difficulty spikes mid-campaign. One Steam review calls it "addictive but repetitive," while another praises its "crunchy physics." 42% of players with VR headsets rate it 9/10, citing immersion as a key factor. Achievement completion at 83% indicates a balance between accessibility and challenge.
PlayPile's Take
This is a niche pick for fans of physics simulators and VR enthusiasts. At $29.99, it’s affordable but lacks depth for long-term replay. The destruction engine shines in short bursts, making it a solid choice for casual demolition fans. Skip if you crave narrative or variety, there’s only one mode and limited tools. Worth trying if you’ve enjoyed games like Human Fall Flat, but don’t expect innovation beyond its core gimmick.
