What is Red Faction®: Armageddon™?

A third-person shooter set on Mars, where Darius Mason fights through a linear campaign after opening a shaft that releases a threat to the colonists. You battle enemies in underground caves and on the storm-damaged surface, destroy structures, and use the Nano Forge to rebuild damaged defenses.

For you if...

+you want a straightforward sci-fi shooting campaign
+you want cooperative fights against waves of enemies

Not for you if...

−you want open-world exploration rather than a linear campaign
−you want to destroy terrain as well as buildings
