About the Game
Red Dead Redemption is a free-roaming western game and the spiritual successor to Red Dead Revolver . The game is set in 1911, where players take control of John Marston, an outlaw who is forced to turn on his peers when federal agents threaten his family. He is sent to the American frontier to capture his former gang members, especially the notorious leader Bill Williamson. In the open world, players is free to follow the storyline or partake in the various events that occur while exploring the West; similar in overall design to Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series .
Gameplay & Core Systems
Horses are the main means of transportation, and players can whistle for their mount at any time. Players can also visit towns, talk to other characters, and join or intervene in events such as public hangings, ambushes, and robberies. Many of these are random, including dangerous animal attacks and bandit ambushes. Other activities include hunting, gambling, duels, and standoffs, with guns as the main weapon. Based on players's decisions, two morality systems (honor and fame) influence how the environment and other characters react to Marston.
