Evaluation

Red Faction II is a single-player action game originally released in 2002 and made available on Steam on August 6, 2009. The store description is purely a narrative and feature overview of the base game — there is no mention of DLC, expansions, seasons, or any post-launch content. The game has no DLC listings. The only developer news post scanned is from July 3, 2018, and it announces the Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered Edition — a separate game in the Red Faction series — not any new content for Red Faction II. Red Faction II launched as a complete, self-contained product with no post-launch content cycle. It has been complete since its Steam release date.

About this game

Twenty-second century Earth. Five years after the rebellion on Mars.
For the last 15 years, Sopot, the corrupt dictator, has oppressed the people of the Commonwealth. His relentless pursuit of unification with the neighboring United Republic has left the country soaked in unnecessary bloodshed and poverty. Propaganda is plastered throughout communities and a Public Information Building, built as a tribute to the self-centered chancellor, spews news broadcasts with claims of victory as more and more soldiers fall victim. Fed up after years on the front lines, a group of super-soldiers injected with nanotechnology vow to replace the dictator and restore peace.
Defend your country as Alias, a demolitions expert, with the help of your five squad members, each specializing in their own method of destruction. Fight through diverse levels using vehicles, an arsenal of specialized weapons and massive explosives in your rampage to overthrow the government.
