The Brütal Campaign is the single player storyline in Brütal Legend, consisting of twenty-two story missions.
Description[]
In single player mode, Brütal Legend offers a linear mission-based storyline along with a variety of optional Secondary Missions that can be performed between story missions and/or after completion of the game.
Apart from the first two missions, each story mission is started by interacting with a mission provider. When a mission is completed successfully, a single subsequent mission becomes available immediately. When a mission is failed, the player has the option to repeat the mission.
Brütal Legend maintains a single save file, but within the file a checkpoint is saved for each completed story mission. The player can load any of these checkpoint saves by choosing the "Chapters" option from the main menu or by choosing "Load Save" from the Start menu within the game.
Options[]
When starting a new game, the player can choose to play at Gentle, Normal, or Brütal difficulty levels. During the first story mission, the player is also presented with the option to exclude gore or to exclude swearing, if desired.
