Red Tears: Angola

Red Tears: Angola is a first-person stealth-action game set in Angola in the late 1970s. You play as a fighter trying to survive in a hostile open world, using your tools and the environment to outmaneuver enemy forces. Avoid dynamic patrols or attack outposts to gather intel and resources, and fight alongside your faction.

Factions and encounters

You can play as UNITA, MPLA, SADF or Cuba. Portugal is listed as a future addition. For each encounter, choose whether to use stealth or fight openly. The game includes brutal takedown and healing animations, Cold War-era weapons and gadgets, and systems for jamming and crafting.

Open-world conflict

The nonlinear world contains chaotic AI skirmishes and faction conquest. Outposts and smaller locations can be captured and change hands dynamically, while random events include patrols, hostages and cargo. Gather intel to reveal the map through a fog-of-war system. Dense foliage lets you hide in shrubs and climb trees, but snakes are also present. Death events can result in your capture as a hostage or rescue by allies.

Game modes

• Operation missions: Take on objectives such as assassination targets and POW squad rescues. These missions can generate, persist and expire independently of your actions.
• Faction Conquest: Fight in a chaotic, dynamic sandbox where two factions struggle for control of territory.
• Behind Enemy Lines: Complete randomized objectives with limited lives, then extract after finishing all operations.

Difficulty and interface

Customizable difficulty settings let you adjust player and AI damage output, as well as AI difficulty. The game uses a diegetic UI.
