Mechanics

As a brave unit and part of the resistance, we conduct a kind of guerrilla warfare. Our responsibilities include diligent planning of the attacks, and making quick decisions. Moreover, we are frequently forced to use the elements of the environment for cover against the attacks or to stay hidden. This intensifies the ubiquitous sense of being in danger. In Red Faction: Guerrilla for PC, PS3 and X360 we watch the action from third person perspective, behind the back of our protagonist. During the gameplay, we visit an immense, open world, located on an alien planet. Among others, we visit an abandoned mining outpost and the main headquarters of Earth Defence Force.

Misc.

One of the key elements of the third Red Faction is the system of destructible environment. With it, the walls are not an issue, while destroying the neighborhood with explosives and mining tools isn’t anything extraordinary. The system also constitutes for uniqueness of the multiplayer mode, which bases mainly on the impressive posibilities of deforming the environment.
