Storyline

Fifty years after the Red Faction and their Marauder allies liberated Mars from the oppressive Earth Defense Force, peace on the Red Planet is once more under siege—this time by an unknown and deadly force. When the colossal Terraformer responsible for Mars' breathable air and climate is destroyed, the atmosphere spirals into chaos. Super-tornadoes and violent lightning storms sweep across the surface, forcing the Colonists to retreat underground, where they carve out a network of livable caves within the mines. Five years later, Darius Mason, grandson of the Martian Revolution's legendary figures Alec Mason and Samanya, operates a thriving business from Bastion, the bustling underground center of Colonist life. Whether it's mining, scavenging, or mercenary work—especially the dangerous kind—Darius is the go-to guy. Few dare to brave the devastated surface anymore, except for risk-takers like Darius and the smugglers ferrying supplies between settlements. When Darius is deceived into opening a sealed passage in an ancient Marauder temple, he awakens a slumbering evil and triggers Armageddon on Mars. As both Colonist and Marauder strongholds are shattered, only Darius and the Red Faction stand a chance of saving humanity. The fight will carry them across the storm-ravaged world—and beneath it, to the core of the unimaginable danger lurking below.
