Red Solstice 2: Survivors blends real-time tactical action with in-depth strategy and planning in a world where humanity’s last survivors are beset on every front. Join up to 7 friends in online co-op mode and struggle to survive as part of squad-based battles that mix the fast-paced action of Helldivers with the thoughtful strategy of games like X-COM.

Earth is destroyed but life still lingers and the player’s goal is simple... Make it out alive and help humanity survive.

It’s the year 117 After Earth, and corporations rush to secure dominance over the last remnants of humanity. It’s up to you to take command of your squad, fight the powers that be, and find a cure to the virus that threatens to end mankind.

Across both a deep strategy layer and engaging real-time combat missions, players need to think on their feet to survive in this hostile world and determine the fate of the planet. Choose your mission, design your load-out, then take to the battlefield and lead your squad to victory. Red Solstice 2: Survivors is playable in single-player or with up to seven friends where you plan your strategy to infiltrate a real-time tactical battlefield. 

Can you show cunning in combat to stay alive, and fight for the future of humankind?

New Monsters? OH YES! Variety is the spice of life and we decided that Mars could be a little bit more horrifying! Moths, Drillers, Holers and also the Etaphreven. Also watch out for other Marines! These dude serve a different master and do not align with the same interests as you.

Ironward’s focus with The Red Solstice 2: Survivors is iterating on the tight corridor combat of the original further to create what they truly believe is a great leap in claustrophobic isometric gameplay. Coupled with a focus on improved combat is the deep mood set by the sci-fi alien homage prevalent in design and a completely new layer of the strategy tools players will use in-game; adding technology development, resource collection, and world map combat mission choices.

Key Features:

• Capture & Research: Capture mutants, add them to your bestiary and research powerful new technologies to become even stronger.
• Survival strategy: Tactical combat missions are underpinned by a strong strategic layer that spans over time with a single goal: the survival of the human race. 
• 8 player coop: Play solo or join up to seven friends; join existing campaigns or invite others to sign up to your own. Share research and resources, play together, and ensure the survival of the planet.

• Hot Join: Call for mid-game reinforcements from your friends list, and have them drop down right into the midst of the chaos.
• Dynamic single-player: Seamless transition between singleplayer and multiplayer, friends can join you with their own technologies or you can join and help them in theirs. Play campaign alone, get stuck, invite your friend and then defeat the enemy, or join your friend campaign anytime.
