Infestation Mode – Survive waves of enemy hordes in a 1-4 player cooperative, objective-based experience. You are humanity’s last hope for survival. Red Faction®: Armageddon™ expands on the critically acclaimed, best-selling franchise with new, groundbreaking challenges. The battle will take them across the storm-blasted planet–and below it, to the very heart of the unspeakable threat. As Colonist and Marauder settlements are torn asunder, only Darius and the Red Faction can save mankind. When Darius is tricked into reopening a mysterious shaft in an old Marauder temple, he releases a long-dormant evil and unleashes Armageddon on Mars. Few sane people now venture to the ravaged surface, aside from contractors like Darius and the smugglers who run goods between the settlements. Mining, scavenging, mercenary work–if the job is dangerous, Darius is your man. To survive, the Colonists flee to the underground mines and build a network of habitable caves.įive years later, Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes Alec Mason and Samanya, runs a lucrative business from Bastion, underground hub of Colonist activity. When the massive Terraformer that supplies Mars with its Earth-like air and weather is destroyed, the atmosphere turns to chaos, super-tornados and lightning storms engulf the planet. But the mechanics shown to me are impressive and look to be a lot of fun to play so I’ll continue to be cautiously optimistic for the time being.Half a century after the Red Faction resistance and their Marauder allies freed Mars from the brutal Earth Defense Force, harmony on Mars is again threatened but this time by a lethal force shrouded in mystery. I’m not particularly thrilled with the seeming shift in story towards something a little more in the monster movie department than the themes of revolution and resistance the series has tackled before now. On the whole, Red Faction: Armageddon seems to be heading in the right direction. Buildings are no match for it either, as this trundling monstrosity seems capable of walking over pretty much anything in its path. 
This thing is a monster, as evidenced by the way it plows through enemies like they were made of dry, unpacked sand. It’s also especially funny to watch one enemy be flung into another at a high rate of speed.Ī final toy shown off in the demonstration is the Exo, a heavily armored robotic suit. Seeing what are essentially boulders being torn from the very walls and slammed into an enemy on the other side of the room with the pull of a trigger is amazing. While the mechanic is simple, the chaos that this weapon causes on the battlefield is massive in scale.
The Magnet Gun looks pretty exciting and is a great way to see the destructibility of the environment, which looks as impressive as ever.
