Few sane people venture to the ravaged surface of Mars, apart from contractors like Darius and smugglers who transport goods between settlements. The game begins five years after the relocation to the mines in 2175, and follows Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes Alec Mason and Samanya, the main characters of Red Faction: Guerrilla, who runs a lucrative series of businesses based in Bastion, the underground hub of Colonist activity, including mining, scavenging and mercenary work. In order to survive, the Colonists were forced to flee to the underground mines of Mars built by their ancestors, creating a network of habitable caves under the surface of the planet and setting up colonies there. This occurred when the massive Terraformer machine on Mars which supplied it with its Earth-like atmosphere was destroyed by Adam Hale, the game's key antagonist, causing super-tornados and violent lightning storms to engulf the planet.
Since the liberation of Mars, the surface of the planet has become uninhabitable. It is set in the year 2175, fifty years after the events of Red Faction: Guerrilla.
The player can also use mech suits at some points in the game. Various vehicles can be used including a mine cart and a barge. When played they provide elements of backstory. Audio logs can be found throughout the complex. This time the player can also use a Nano Forge device to repair structures such as stairs, allowing them to progress through the caves. As in previous games in the franchise GeoMod is featured allowing for the destruction of parts of the landscape. Most of the game is set in an underground tunnel complex inhabited by alien creatures. The game is set 50 years after the conclusion of Guerrilla.
The player takes on the role of Darius Mason, a descendant of Guerrilla Alec Mason. Like its predecessor Red Faction: Guerrilla, Red Faction: Armageddon is a third-person shooter game.
