About Under Destruction
Under Destruction is a 2025 PC game blending shooter, strategy, and simulator elements. Set in a dystopian future where AI "Axis" wages war over a resource called Erythonite, you play as Spyro, a combat drone tasked with securing deposits and dismantling human forces. Developed by Quantum Dynamics Games, it leans into tactical combat with co-op and multiplayer modes. The single-player campaign focuses on resource management and mission-based objectives, while online play pits teams against each other in control-based matches. Think of it as a third-person shooter with management layers and competitive multiplayer, ideal for players who like structure in their chaos.
Gameplay
You control Spyro in third-person, switching between weapon types and drones to complete missions. Each session starts with scanning a map to identify Erythonite hotspots, then using a mix of direct combat and sabotage to disable human defenses. The game emphasizes resource allocation: you must balance drone energy, ammo, and time limits. Multiplayer modes force you to coordinate with teammates to hold objectives or extract data, with a 5v5 format that rewards map control. Controls are tight but require learning, melee takedowns, drone deployment, and hacking terminals add depth. The single-player campaign offers branching paths; destroy a lab or secure a facility? Choices impact resource yield but not the overarching story.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 78% of players completing the single-player mode in 22 hours on average. Community moods are split: Frustrated (32%), Determined (27%), and Competitive (19%). Multiplayer fans praise the 5v5 balance, though 18% of reviews cite "repetitive map layouts." Achievements skew toward completionism, 37% of players own the "Erythonite Overlord" title for extracting 1000 units. Critics on PlayPile highlight the "stiff learning curve" but note the co-op mode "adds surprising depth." Negative feedback centers on AI pathing issues in solo missions. The competitive mode has a 24% win rate for teams under 1500 MMR.
PlayPile's Take
Under Destruction is for players who want structure in their shooters. The 78% completion rate suggests it’s challenging but fair, with 47 achievements that push replayability. At $49.99, it’s mid-tier priced for a 2025 indie. The co-op mode softens its aggressive difficulty, while multiplayer keeps it sharp for competitive types. If you enjoy planning routes as much as pulling triggers, this fits. But don’t expect a forgiving experience, its 32% frustration rating isn’t a typo. Worth a look if you’ve got 25 hours to spare and a friend to team up with.
