Description

About the Game



Plan your strategy and undertake real-time combat missions, in this sequel to the best-selling tactical game Red Solstice!

Welcome Executor!

It's the year 117 After Earth and you have a very important mission. You were awakened to lead the Cell, a secret taskforce that was assembled to counter the threat of the STROL mutant invasion. Take command of your squad to fight the mutants and find a cure to the virus that threatens to end mankind.

Across both a deep strategy layer and engaging real time combat missions, you'll need to make decisions quickly to survive in this hostile world and determine the fate of the planet. Choose your mission, select your loadout, take to the battlefield, and lead your squad to victory.

Playable in single-player or co-op with up to seven friends, Red Solstice 2: Survivors combines tense claustrophobic action with careful strategic planning to create a sci-fi experience like no other.

KEY FEATURES

  • Red Solstice 2: Survivors is playable with the classic Real-Time Strategy controls. These controls provide a lot of freedom, more control and they allow the player to learn proactive actions which are to plan, execute and improvise.
  • Survival Strategy: Red Solstice 2: Survivors combines tactical missions with ongoing survival against the STROL virus. Explore the entire planet in a campaign that expands over time with a single goal - survival of humanity.

  • Research technologies: Research and upgrade new technologies and use them on the battlefield.
  • Real Time Tactical Battlefield: Fight in an open battlefield in real time, while adapting and making plans on the move.

  • Combat Missions: Deploy alone or with other players into combat missions to contain the spreading biomass infection. Manage your resources, explore an open map and secure areas in order to save humanity.

  • Three Mission Types: Over 15 main missions and more than 20 side missions, with each having a different mission type (exploration, stealth and survival).
  • Unique Classes: Choose between 6 classes, each with a unique gameplay experience – Assault, Demolition, Heavy Support, Marksman, Medic and Recon.

  • 8 Player Co-op: Join campaigns and combat missions from other players – or let them join yours. Play together and work towards the survival of the planet.
  • Powerful Weapons: Cause mass destruction, wipe out battlefields and decimate entire colonies.

  • Biomass Infestation: Fight the spreading threat which changes the environment and adapts to your actions.

Cool idea but disappointing on everything it tries to do. Makes me regret my determination on finishing games. Glitches everywhere, everything is barely working and really janky, everything is as basic and unimpressive

I bought this game and unfortunately made two other friends buy it with me. The game's menus are extremely confusing, and the point distribution system is laughable. In skirmish mode (which was the focus of our

Very cool tactic shooter game ✔️ A bit hard at the start and many mechanics you will need to figure out yourself, but very satisfying after you get some understanding of the game process. p.s. This game has the best

Great game. Bit of a jump from the linear story from The Red Solstice to this, and a learning curve with understanding how to combat infestation rates and what to prioritise. A few bugs to look out for (i.e. getting
