Overview
Description

Set on a colonized Mars, Red Faction: Guerrilla puts you in the shoes of a freedom fighter battling the oppressive Earth Defense Force. The game blends fast‑paced shooting with a fully destructible environment, letting you topple structures and reshape the battlefield. With both single‑player and multiplayer modes, you can wage guerrilla warfare solo or team up with friends to cause chaos across the sprawling, open‑world city of Las Almas. The title’s physics‑driven destruction and vehicle combat keep the action fresh from start to finish.

Homefront: The Revolution is an open-world first-person shooter where you must ignite a second American Revolution in a brutal police state. Four years into a crushing military occupation, Philadelphia has become a ghetto patrolled by surveillance drones and armored forces. Fight alongside a growing Resistance cell through the bombed-out streets and badlands of the Red Zone. Utilize guerrilla tactics, scavenge and customize your arsenal on the fly, and inspire oppressed civilians to rise up against their occupiers in both single-player and co-operative modes.
