Our take on Red Faction

Players who want to avoid combat may bounce when objectives shift into action against Ultor guards. Those drawn mainly to environmental destruction may also find the campaign’s stealth objectives a stopping point, since Geo-Mod is one part of a story-driven shooter rather than the whole structure.

What is Red Faction?

On Mars, miners face a deadly plague and abuse by guards working for the Ultor Corporation.

Red Faction follows a rebellion through 20 levels, with objectives that combine stealth and combat. Its Geo-Mod technology lets players alter and destroy parts of the environment in real time, with falling geometry, particles, and liquid supported by the physics simulation. The game includes 15 weapons and five vehicles for land, sea, and air. Multiplayer supports LAN and TCP-IP matches for up to 32 players, with strategies built around environmental destruction. The campaign also features varied settings and location-based damage.

How Red Faction plays

01Real-time destruction: Geo-Mod allows players to change and demolish environment geometry during play, including structures that can fall.
02Vehicle control: Five vehicles span land, sea, and air travel.
03Multiplayer matches: LAN and TCP-IP play supports matches of up to 32 players.
04Stealth and combat: Story objectives use both stealth and direct action across 20 levels.
05Location-based damage: Damage varies according to where attacks hit.
