As Colonist and Marauder settlements are torn asunder, only Darius and the Red Faction can save mankind. When Darius is tricked into reopening a mysterious shaft in an old Marauder temple, he releases a long-dormant evil and unleashes Armageddon on Mars. Few sane people now venture to the ravaged surface, aside from contractors like Darius and the smugglers who run goods between the settlements. Mining, scavenging, mercenary work–if the job is dangerous, Darius is your man. To survive, the Colonists flee to the underground mines and build a network of habitable caves.įive years later, Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes Alec Mason and Samanya, runs a lucrative business from Bastion, underground hub of Colonist activity. When the massive Terraformer that supplies Mars with its Earth-like air and weather is destroyed, the atmosphere turns to chaos, super-tornados and lightning storms engulf the planet. There's nothing it does exceedingly well, and it's otherwise very unenjoyable.Half a century after the Red Faction resistance and their Marauder allies freed Mars from the brutal Earth Defense Force, harmony on Mars is again threatened but this time by a lethal force shrouded in mystery. If you like destructibility - well, I assume the previous game is better. If you want sci-fi action and tons of guns, Bulletstorm is WAY better.
If you want a game about an alien invasion with bug creatures and tentacles popping out of nowhere, Black Mesa is better. Even linear levels notwithstanding, it's just not a good game in general. Ultimately, I would not recommend this game for any amount of money. The game gets so mind-numbingly repetitive in the latter half that I had to run past most things just to preserve my sanity. The plot and characters are the most generic of generic sci-fi shooter stereotypes. Special effects are headache-inducing, environments are butt-ugly, and while there's a wide array of weapons, most are fairly samey, that is, if you aren't in a forced turret section, of which there are many. You are a bald Space Marine fighting off hordes of identical, incredibly generic alien bugs.
Other than that though, there's very little to write home about here. Even in the 2020s, Halo Infinite doesn't even let you run over trees with a tank. Let's get the game's one good point out of the way: most manmade structures can be destroyed and rebuilt, which is impressive for 2011.
