About

Armageddon is the fourth and final installment in the Red Faction series. Armageddon exchanges Guerrilla's open world for a more linear third-person shooter experience. Darius Mason, descendant of several Red Faction heroes, is tricked by cultists into releasing bug-like aliens from beneath the surface of Mars, throwing the colonists into a fight for survival against the unending hordes. Using the Mason heirloom, the Nano-Forge, Darius teams up with his personal AI unit SAM, former love interest Kara, and friend Winters to strike back against the bugs and the cultists.

About

Red Faction: Guerilla is an open-world, third-person action game set on Mars, where protagonist Alec Mason and the guerrilla organization Red Faction work to overthrow the totalitarian regime of the Earth Defence Force. The game features a dynamic destruction engine, allowing the player to demolish any structure in the game. Guerrilla is the third game in the Red Faction series, but the games are fairly loosely related, and don't need to be played in any particular order.
