Features

Red Faction: Guerrilla is a game that features a third person perspective which is a departure from the first person perspective used in the two previous Red Faction games. Players assume the role of Alec Mason, and are given the ability to run, jump, hijack vehicles, and use weapons. The game is set across Mars in Mason’s fight against the EDF (Earth Defense Force). Players can choose from a cache of weapons such as machine gun turrets, rocket turrets, remote charges, a sledgehammer, and machine guns to use. There are also special weapons, such as the “Grinder”, a improvised weapon that launches charged blades at enemies and objects; a "reconstructor" which is a multiplayer-only weapon that rebuilds destroyed structures and the "Ostrich Hammer" which is an Ostrich being used as a sledgehammer. The game features over 30 vehicles (APCs, a 6 wheeler cargo truck, a walking construction mech, a tank, etc.), a radio function where other characters in the game can give the player information, objective and orders indicator via a HUD and GPS device, and integrated cover system and dedicated “backpack" with different functions (such as healing powers, invisibility as well as X-ray vision) during multiplayer mode. The game also features up to 6 online multiplayer modes (on single-player levels, with up to 16 players on a server) as well as an offline game mode called Wrecking Crew. The final version of the game may also include modes called Team Anarchy and a Capture The Flag Style in its Team DeathMatch games.
