Redout: Space Assault

Redout: Space Assault is a single-player space combat game set during the colonization of Mars in 2395. You play as Leon Barret, an ace fighter pilot in the Poseidon Security Forces, tasked with keeping order, supporting scientists’ research and protecting personnel from external threats. As Leon rises through the ranks, the story explores the cost of integrity, the idea of “necessary evil” and what it means to take a stand in a conflict where nobody is simply good or bad.

Missions across space

You fight rebels, space pirates and other enemies in fast-moving fighter combat. Missions take you through rail-shooter battles against drones and fighters, Iridium mines and abandoned space structures to explore, races through enemy installations and large-scale battles, and assaults on Capital Ships. Some missions pit you against pirates for a quick buck; Capital Ship missions feature enormous vessels with individual strengths, weaknesses and special attacks, and mark turning points in the story.

Exploration missions let you search for hideouts, resources and rebels among mines and abandoned structures. You can cut engine power to navigate narrow passages. In combat, you roll to evade missiles and gunfire, use enhanced boost and launch missile volleys; races test your speed against enemy pilots and scavengers.

Upgrade your fighter

Completing missions unlocks Cards and Tokens that you use to improve your fighter’s hull, shields, energy weapons and missiles. You can swap Cards to improve individual aspects of your ship, and choose and upgrade weapons or install multiple copies. The arsenal includes Plasma Cannons, Shock Rays, Railguns, Scattershot, Air-To-Air Missiles and Loadup Gatlings. Upgrades help prepare you to face Capital Ships and can let you take on a Destroyer Warship alone.

Career and combat

Career mode teaches the skills needed to survive and succeed across the Redout Universe. Combat tests your dexterity, quick thinking and adaptability, with bonus objectives and opportunities to improve your fighter’s stats. The game features exotic locations, large events and battles across many worlds, accompanied by a dynamic soundtrack that intensifies as the challenge increases.
