Redout: Space Assault

About

You pilot a fighter in chaotic space battles set against humanity's survival struggle in the late 24th century. Choose sides between a rigid colonization force and scrappy rebels as you weave through asteroid fields and planetary orbits. The gameplay blends reflex-heavy shooting with strategic weapon swaps and ship upgrades. Missions range from straightfire dogfights to defending supply lines while managing limited ammo and shield capacity. Local and online multiplayer lets you team up or clash in arena-style matches with shifting power dynamics. The game's tight controls and unpredictable combat loops keep matches fresh despite a straightforward core loop. Community forums highlight the asymmetrical ship classes and how small tactical choices can flip battle outcomes. With support for multiple platforms including mobile and consoles, it offers a consistently smooth experience across devices. The 2019 release still holds up for players craving high-octane aerial combat without grindy progression systems.

Storyline

"AD 2395. Humanity is facing the most perilous, daunting and desperate task in its existence: fleeing Earth. Hundreds of satellites, drones and terraforming robots have been sent to the outskirts of the Solar System. Frantic research has been conducted in the last 150 years. Brave scientists and colonists have taken off towards inhospitable new worlds, often on one-way journeys, to build a new home for humanity. Now, tales of lush green landscapes, rivers and abundant resources run through the void on radio messages, from the Moon to Mars. In an unprecedented conflict with humanity on the brink of chaos, will you side with the brutally disciplined Colonization Fleet, or will you join the cutthroat rebel bands fending off for themselves, looking for freedom among the stars?
