Open World Guerrilla Warfare - You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerrilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF's grip on Mars.
Strategic Destruction - Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment. Leverage fully-dynamic physics-based destruction to improvise on the fly: blow holes in a wall or floor to set an ambush or escape, take out a staircase to stop your pursuers, or drive vehicles through blown out walls.
Evolving & Emergent Gameplay - Carve your path through an ever changing landscape as you improvise your combat tactics - mixing gameplay styles, vehicles, weapons and explosives to defeat the EDF.
Epic Sci-Fi Setting - Explore the huge, unforgiving Martian landscape, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos; then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire.

The original release of RF Guerilla brought a ground-breaking experience in free-roaming action game with destructible structures, for a guy like me who shies away from building games like Minecraft (heh). Now, I just made a 3rd playthrough with the Re-Mars-tered version, which supposedly buffs the graphics quality with modern functions.

Alas, while these may be barely noticeable, the gameplay has gotten worse due to new bugs and altered physics. For the latter, the vehicle driving turned more painful because they are sensitive to uneven roads to the point that a slight bump will get it flying off the road, making timed car retrieval missions much more difficult. Even some other missions were failed where the mission critical NPC driver ended down the cliffs or flipped over on its side and exploded.
It's hard to understand how a graphically remastered version turned out for some worse gameplay experiences. The multiplayer is also quite dead, unless you look up on Discord channels. If you don't care for the outdated graphics and more for the substance of the content, stick with the original.

Haven't been keeping up with my updates; cleared Badlands, Oasis, and last night I finished Eos. It looks like Badlands might actually have been optional, at least until after completing Oasis, but it does take on more significance.

Cleared Dust, really liked the last mission's atmosphere. Most of the way through Badlands now, but the zone feels less important. You're dropped into it after finishing Dust with very little explanation of what you hope to accomplish there, and the two plot missions so far just dealt with traffic through the zone to important locations.

Secured Parker sector, checking it for bonuses before moving on to Dust.
