Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars 50 years after the original Red Faction game. Players take control of an insurgent fighter with the re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for freedom from Earth Defense Force domination. Throughout their journey, players explore the vast and desolate environment of Mars from Parker to Eos while using improvised weapons and vehicles to cause destruction against EDF forces and innocent settlers caught in between. The game also features multiplayer modes focusing on destruction gameplay.
