Darius was sent to do a mining job and learned he was tricked again by Adam Hale and the Cultists to open a seal that releases an alien race called the Plague, and becomes trapped in the tunnels where the Plague live in. The destruction of the terraformer results in catastrophic weather which forces the entire population underground.Ī few years later, Darius now works as a mercenary along with former marauder Kara.
Unfortunately, Adam, disguised as one of the Red Faction, tricks Darius and destroys the terraformer. Red Faction forces, led by Frank Winters along with Darius Mason, made an assault on the terraformer. The game takes place in the underground regions of Tharsis.Ī group of Cultists, a splinter faction of the Marauders led by Adam Hale, attacked and captured a terraformer that controlled the weather of Mars. Colonist and Marauder settlements alike are torn apart by the new enemies with Darius and the Red Faction having to save the Martian population once again. There are differences, the ones in the first game do not glow, and have less spikes, but this could be due to the graphical design generation gap). (Note: The Creeper aliens look quite similar to the ' dog' aliens of the first game, first encountered in Capek's caves. Axel Capek was driven insane by his studies of the creatures, but he was able to confine them to the cave system which Darius uncovered before completely losing his mind. The Plague are related to the first Red Faction game and were first discovered by Ultor Corporation. Darius is tricked into re-opening a mysterious seal in an old Marauder temple which releases a long-dormant evil race of aliens known as the Plague causing an Armageddon on/in Mars. Only a few sane people venture to the now-ravaged surface of Mars, apart from contractors like Darius and smugglers who smuggle goods between settlements.
#RED FACTION ARMAGEDDON PC SCREENSHOTS SERIES#
The main playing line game begins five years after the relocation underground (the tutorial takes place immediately before the destruction of the terraformer, which the MC had a direct *albeit unintentional* hand in) and follows the story of Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes, Alec Mason and Samanya who were the main characters of Red Faction: Guerrilla, who runs a lucrative series of businesses based in Bastion, the underground hub of Colonist activity, including mining, scavenging and mercenary-work. In order to survive, the Colonists are forced to flee to the underground mines of Mars, building a network of habitable caves under the surface of the planet. At the beginning of the game, the surface of the planet becomes uninhabitable after the massive terraformer on Mars which supplied it with its Earth-like air and weather has been destroyed, causing the atmosphere to turn to chaos with super-tornadoes and lightning storms engulfing the planet. The storyline occurs in the year 2170, almost a half a century after the events of Red Faction: Guerrilla. It doesn't matter that it doesn't look as hot as Crysis 2 (and honestly, I have had more fun with Red Faction than I did with Crysis 2, but that's probably just me) when you're tearing down a makeshift shelter using grenades and machine gun fire, desperately trying to defend yourself from an approaching horde of Martian monsters.Like the first and third games of the series, the game takes place on the planet of Mars.
It's popcorn-entertainment, a good game to spend a couple of hours with, and it performs that job splendidly. In an age where we stare ourselves blind at blockbuster games with the hottest graphics and blockbuster moments, we tend to judge games like Red Faction: Armageddon way more harshly than they deserve.
Red Faction: Armageddon is simply entertaining, which goes a long way. The story has its moments, but despite some good voice acting it doesn't really manage to grip me. The graphics look good, but are far from spectacular. The controls work, they do what they are meant to do. It delivers exactly that, and nothing more. That's not to say that it's an amazing game in any way.
