As leader of the Saints, a street gang that has become the most “powerful and popular” organization in the world, the player is elected president of the United States, receives super powers and defends himself against an alien invasion. Similar to previous games in the series Saints Row, Saints Row IV is an open-world action game with third-person shooter elements in which the player is free to explore the environment and, in their spare time, play stories or side missions. A sequel is supposed to be in development. It also performed very well financially, selling over a million copies in its first week. Critics gave the game generally positive reviews, praising its humor and character customization options, but criticizing its lack of defiance. Saints Row IV received several limited and summative edition releases, and was briefly banned in Australia. Later, Volition released a “director’s cut” of Enter the Dominatrix as downloadable content for Saints Row IV along with How the Saints Saved Christmas, various weapons, costumes and vehicle packs, and a separate expansion, Saints Row: Gat out of Hell (which serves as an epilogue to the story).

The game’s supernatural and superpower concept began in Enter the Dominatrix, a canceled expansion planned to Saints Row: The Third, which the team expanded to Saints Row IV. Saints Row IV was Volition’s first after its sale to Koch Media in early 2013. With the help of some saints who managed to escape and hacked the simulation to give them super powers, the player tries to rescue his captured friends, escape the simulation, and defeat the Zin. Five years into his rule, they find themselves trapped in the Steelport simulation along with members of his gang, the 3rd Street Saints, after an alien empire known as the Zin attacked Earth and captured them. The single-player story follows the same player-created character from previous games, who becomes President of the United States after foiling a terrorist threat. It also incorporates elements of science fiction and continues the series’ reputation for overblown parody. The open-world nature of the video game allows players to freely explore a simulation of the fictional city of Steelport while completing main and side missions at their leisure. A Nintendo Switch port was released on March 27, 2020. The game was released in August 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, then moved to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Linux in 2015. It is the sequel to Saints Row: The Third released in 2011 and the fourth installment in the series Saints Row. Saints Row IV is an Action-Adventure video game, developed by Volition and published by Deep Silver.
