The game's main plot revolves around a new technology developed by Grathius, nano-machinery based cloning, that allows the corporation to clone its fallen troops and gives them an unstoppable immortal army.

!!Devastation rises up against examples of the folloving:
* TheAllegedBoss: Flynn Haskell leans towards type 3. The promo declares him as the resistance's leader but more often he ends up being told what to do (by Gus) or to shut up (by Tara). The only time he seems to possess any authority is the intro cinematic where he tells his people to flee their besieged hideout.
* ArtificialStupidity: The [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] often get stuck running into walls. In combat they don't know any better than charge at their target. Your allies will often get in your way and the enemies have a tendency to cluster around any ExplodingBarrels they see.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The side-effect of Grathius' [=ReGen=] platform is the subject gradually losing free will until they're the corp's mere cannon fodder. When rerouting the device to work for the resistance group Tara manages to disable the subroutine responsible for the brainwashing.
* CloningBlues: Grathius utilizes their ReGen platform to resurrect any fallen troops by [[TechnoBabble nano-cloning]] them. Later the device gets hijacked to work for the resistance group as well.
* CutsceneIncompetence: After completing the second level or so Flynn is captured at a Grathius mook's minigun point. The minigun isn't even spinning.
* DieChairDie: While there's not too many of them, some pieces of furniture can be broken.
* GatlingGood: Played with the Cobra Cannon. It doesn't even fire that quickly and is up to debate whether it actually packs more punch than your generic machinegun.
* GunsAkimbo: The lesser, one-handed guns can be wielded and fired two at a time.
* HollywoodHacking: The hacking in Devastation involves using a calculator-like device to download codes from communication terminals and then using said device to bypass electronic security gates.
* JustTrainWrong: Several times through the game you can find ridiculous small locomotives. There are similarily small flatbed cars in the Urbia dock area with a short piece of catenary hanging over them, which is also hanging dangerously low and generally doesn't look like a proper catenary at all. None of the rolling stock features any couplers while the locomotives do feature some oversized excuse of fenders. On top of that, the wheels don't even sit on the rails, which are as wide as the cars are.
* KilledOffscreen: After entering the freightliner's underdeck you hear a couple handgun shots and get a new objective to find one of your fellow co-fighters Eve. Once you step out on the deck again [[spoiler:you find her sprawled on the deck dead. [[DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist Fortunately]] it [[ResurrectiveImmortality doesn't last.]]]].
* LaResistance: Flynn leads a ressistance group to oppose Grathius' regime.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Duffy, a former ranger, sports BoyishShortHair, has toned body and so little bosom, you'd be forgiven for [[ViewerGenderConfusion mistaking her for a male]]. Not to {{Bifauxnen}} levels though.
* MegaCorp: Grathius Inc. has brought down governments all over the globe and has their claws in everything from suplies to military and technology research.
* MoreDakka: Devastation features extensive amount of fast-firing guns ranging from submachine pistols through assault rifles to a [[GatlingGood minigun]].

* TechnoBabble: As Tara explains during the process of assembling a captured ReGen platform, it utilizes so called mimetic fluid containing nano-bots smaller than living sells to rebuild them from atoms. Everything be it strands of DNA, clothes or even firearms the killed person had on themselves. How does the device acquire the pattern by which it reconstructs the subject in question is never mentioned.
* ThreateningShark: Grathius has flooded the drydock in Urbia and threw in a couple sharks to prevent the resistance fighters from passing.
* TimedMission: There are several, the most notable being the one, where you have to rescue Eve and Tara from being blown to bits by a timed detpack.
* {{Zeerust}}: Despite taking place in 2075 the ingame computers still use rather outdated interface akin to MS Dos. There's no trace of nowadays smart devices or touch screens. Security measures involve plain old gates with numeric keypads. No fingerprint or retinal scanners, not even magnetic keycards. Most tech in the game is rather ridiculously dated by today's standards.
