The offensive and defensive capabilities, coupled with the traditional weapons make for some pretty incredible action, and there’s no shortage of enemies to obliterate. Mason also has a handful of “force” powers, enabled (presumably) by his onboard computer wristband. There are pistols, shotguns, and assault rifles, but that all seems so pedestrian when offered a plasma canon, or a disintegration beam, or even your trusty token Red Faction sledgehammer. Yes, environmental destruction is still a part of the game, but no where close to it’s prominence in Guerrilla. It’s not a bad thing - the game seems to encourage you to try different weapons and they’re all pretty fun - the magnet gun allows you to pull one object into another, and while doing no direct damage you can get pretty creative with what you fling around the environment. Playing on “insane” difficultly, I constantly found myself armed to the teeth. This game makes no attempt, however, at survival horror. The game very clearly borrows some elements from similar space thrillers like the Dead Space franchise - dimly lit environments, alien baddies, recorded messages left by the recently deceased, and a slew of interesting weapons to dispatch said enemies.
Unlike the open-world destruction fest of Guerillia, Armageddon takes the series back to its roots as a fairly linear FPS. Who is going to clean up this mess? Well, you know the answer already, don’t you? Their ghastly appearance and stabby bone appendages send everyone into a tizzy. Through some trickery, Mason later unknowingly unleashes a long-gone alien race, the necromorphs The Plague. The population of Mars is forced underground.
Long story short, life on Mars is going swimmingly until shit hits the fan… no really, there’s a Terraformer that makes the climate all habitable and such, and someone blows it up. See the Masons are sort of like the Belmonts, the name is well known, and when trouble abounds, people know who to call. The headline is about as original as the gameplay, but don’t confuse that with the boatloads of fun you’ll have blowing things up as you fight for the survival of humanity on Mars.Īrmageddon takes place 50 years after the events of Guerrilla, you play as Darius Mason, grandson of the protagonist of the previous game.
