The Red Solstice

The Red Solstice is a tactical, squad-based survival game set on Mars in the distant future. You roam large maps, complete randomized objectives and face surprise events, either alone or in online co-op with up to eight players. Each run challenges you to survive the storm and its Martian horrors; you gain strength over time, even if you perish.

Lead your squad

In co-op, players can issue commands, set waypoints and assign objectives while fighting through the derelict domiciles of Tharsis. You can choose from eight distinct, customizable classes, each with its own abilities and traits. The game also supports solo play, where you lead a squad through a campaign and a variety of levels using Tactical Mode to issue commands while slowing down the action.

Objectives and progression

Randomly generated events include zone defense and supply retrieval. Each gives you one hour to make your mark, with enemies to fight and objectives to complete. Killing enemies earns experience points, which unlock new abilities and classes. You can heal allies, deploy turrets, launch grenades and set traps.

Modes and challenges

The game includes multiple modes, maps and difficulty levels. Its tactical commands and squad-based combat let you direct your team while facing the threats of Mars.
