Red Faction Guerrilla
Red Faction Guerrilla is a bit of a soft reboot for the series. The EDF has made a name for itself on Earth. Problem is, they run things like a police state with curfews, frequent raids, and just generally oppressing the people of Mars. Alec Mason arrives on Mars at the worst time possible, just moments before his brother Dan is killed by the EDF right in front of him. With a desire for revenge and a sledgehammer in his hand, Mason joins the Red Faction to bring true freedom to the people of Mars.
The cover reflects two facets of the game. First is the destruction you’ll be causing on the Red Planet. With robots, vehicles, explosives, or a sledgehammer, you’re going to be breaking a lot of stuff owned by the EDF before the credits roll. Everything you do diminishes the hold the EDF has over each sector of Mars, and clearing them all out will make the planet yours again.
Second is Mason himself standing alone in the center, the symbol of the Red Faction emblazoned in the red dust above him. The symbol itself is actually reworking of the classic symbol of socialism, a movement that embraced the idea of sharing power via social ownership – something the people of Mars would much prefer to the EDF’s tyranny. Mason is the new symbol of the Red Faction, and his actions will inspire the people of Mars to take a stand alongside him. His actions will get Mars the freedom it’s needed for years.
