Incursion Red River

Incursion Red River is a first-person raid game set in a destabilized Vietnam. You can deploy with up to three friends as squadmates, follow a story campaign, and complete Operations and Tasks for three factions across detailed maps. Raids pit you against deadly AI; you earn influence, wealth, reputation and rewards, while death can cost you everything.

A conflict in Vietnam

Nearly 20 years after the People’s Liberation Army repels an invasion of Vietnam, the country prospers with backing from the Soviet Union. Another 20 years later, the Soviet Union collapses, and Vietnam turns to the West for stability. Years of Western influence follow, until rebuilt Russia helps fund the Vietnamese Communist Union Party (VCUP). After a heavily tampered election gives VCUP victory, the old government refuses to leave, and a quiet civil war begins, with local citizens fighting on both sides and foreign powers backing them from the shadows.

A year into the conflict, Russia joins forces with North Korea and sends in the Iron Guard Corps (IGC). Western nations respond with “humanitarian aid” through United Intercontinental Security (UICS), while the Vietnamese Liberation Front (VLF) rises to oppose foreign influence. As the factions increase their military efforts, the black-ops corporation FANG promotes you and assigns you to learn about them, carry out covert tasks against them and discover the purpose of your mission. FANG’s search, you are told, could save countless lives.

Factions

You undertake tasks connected to three factions, each with its own goals and approach:

• United Intercontinental Security (UICS): A semi-neutral European organization that provides humanitarian aid. Some members have ulterior motives to violently purge the East. UICS has established bases in abandoned military sites and presses forward with measured, professional force.
• Vietnamese Liberation Front (VLF): A growing local movement seeking to free Vietnam from foreign influence. Its members use their knowledge of the area and lingering connections to conduct raids against invading factions, striking hard and fast.
• Iron Guard Corps (IGC): A force formed by Russia and North Korea to support a sympathetic government. It aims to avoid a world war while maintaining its military presence. Its disciplined troops are cautious and hold their ground rather than pursue.

Raids and operations

Operations can begin while you are moving through a map. Supply airdrops attract enemy reinforcements, and armed convoys travel under escort; on Delta, a boss convoy hunts after dark. Use a Laser Rangefinder to mark a convoy for an airstrike, then search the wreck before others arrive. You can trade and barter with traders in the field, send valuable finds home in a secure container, and choose your insertion point. Raids vary by time of day and weather, including clear skies and thunderstorms.

The maps include the jungle Quarry, docks and rail yards in Outskirts, and Delta. The campaign continues through new story missions, with three main missions and two side quests. Operations and Tasks for the three factions let you build reputation and earn rewards.

Fight and adapt

The RED:FOR AI system has enemies peek and lean around corners, move between cover and coordinate their actions. An AI Director controls how many enemies engage you at once. You can choose a difficulty from Conscript to Elite, adjust AI settings at any time and share settings presets with friends using codes.

Movement options include Tactical Sprint, Low Ready and High Mantling. Simulated ballistics give weapons and attachments distinct characteristics. Use smoke to cover a push, flash grenades to blind a room, gas to force enemies out, or throw a bullet to distract the AI. You can engage at range or up close, quietly or loudly, and treat bleeding and fractures before they take you out of the fight. Food and drink help boost you, while your chosen loadout determines the equipment available during a task.

Safehouse and equipment

Between deployments, you bring supplies back to your safehouse and spend them on upgrades. Get the generator running, unlock a repair station for your armor and weapons, set up a gunsmith to build and save weapon presets, and open a shooting range to test them. You can expand your stash, upgrade the terminal to choose insertion points, build an intel center, and change the shelter’s structure and lighting.

You can customize weapons by changing barrels, handguards, foregrips, stocks, sights and magazines. The gunsmith lets you save, load and share weapon presets with friends, and you can choose your operator’s appearance before deploying.

New raid content

The Outskirts map and new Delta interiors add locations to explore. New operations include airdrops and convoys across all maps, as well as a boss convoy that roams Delta at night. In-raid traders, barter items and a secure container are available on every map.

The update adds seven weapons: AS VAL, VSS Vintorez, M14, KAC LAMG, CMMG MK-47, Norinco M305 and Kel-Tec RFB. It also adds sights and scopes, helmets, rigs, plate carriers, backpacks, GPNVG-18 night vision and 10 medical items. Medical changes include heavy bleeding, fractures and new visual effects; utility additions include smoke, gas and flash grenades, and a Hacking Device for automatic terminal hacking. The inventory, recoil, weapon balance and scopes have been overhauled.
