Red Faction: Armageddon
About the Game
Red Faction: Armageddon is set 50 years after the happenings of Red Faction: Guerrilla and is also set on Mars. players take the role of Darius Mason, a well-meaning guy who only wants the best for his people. Unfortunately it is not only his fault that a terrorist could destroy the machine which brings a human-friendly atmosphere to the planet, meaning the humans had to retract in the underground, he also mistakenly unleashes an hostile alien race. Because the surviving humans are not too pleased with his achievements, it is now time to go out into the tunnels and set things right!
Story & Setting
Besides the campaign there are two additional playing modes.
Gameplay & Core Systems
A big change to its predecessor is the lack of an open world; Armageddon is a linear third-person shooter. The majority of the game is just that: walking through the levels and killing alien masses or human cultists with a mix between conventional and science fiction weapons. In the levels there are valuable pieces of scrap to find which can be traded against character or weapon upgrades. Designed for cooperative play for up to four players are the second mode which basically consists of fighting enemy waves.
