Game Overview
Overview
The Red One: Occultation is an extraction shooter developed by Overtake, set on a treacherous Martian landscape where survival hinges on strategy, skill, and the ability to navigate a hostile environment. With a blend of sci-fi narrative andintense gameplay, the game tasks players with uncovering the mysteries of the “Red One,” a rare mineral with transformative properties, while facing off against alien threats and corporate intrigue.
Game Lore
The story of The Red One: Occultation unfolds in the aftermath of the “Occultation,” a catastrophic event that reshaped the Martian surface and gave rise to alien life forms with remarkable adaptations. These aliens evolved to thrive in the planet’s harsh conditions, trading visual acuity for heightened auditory and olfactory senses. Their slippery, rugged exteriors are covered with microscopic hairs that enable interspecies communication, making them formidable adversaries.
At the heart of the narrative lies the “Red One,” a crimson mineral with mysterious powers. Under certain conditions, it can transform into energy or even life forms. While many factions vie to exploit its energy potential, Alpha Corporation, a powerful and morally ambiguous entity, seeks to merge the Red One with human biology in a bid to create immortal beings. As mercenaries hired by the corporation, players must navigate the ethical dilemmas and hidden dangers tied to this resource, uncovering truths that could alter the balance of power on Mars.
Gameplay and Features
The Red One: Occultation stands out as an extraction shooter that emphasizes tactical combat, resource management, and exploration. Players take on the role of mercenaries deployed to the Martian surface, tasked with completing missions, retrieving valuable resources, and making it out alive.
The gameplay revolves around the delicate balance of risk and reward. Players must navigate hostile environments populated by alien predators, each with unique behaviors and abilities that test combat strategies. Mercenaries are equipped with customizable exosuits designed to endure the extreme Martian climate, including temperatures as low as -30°C. These exosuits also feature deployable drones, magazine replenishment systems, and self-repair capabilities, all of which are critical for survival.
The arsenal at the player’s disposal includes assault rifles for long-range engagements, submachine guns for mid-range skirmishes, and shotguns for close-quarters combat. Players must adapt their weapon choices and tactics to suit the varied threats they encounter, ensuring that every encounter feels fresh and challenging.
As players explore the Martian terrain, they uncover secrets tied to the Red One and the Occultation, piecing together the larger story while scavenging resources essential for survival and upgrades. Backpacks play a vital role in this loop, categorized into offensive, defensive, utility, and recovery types. These can be upgraded using the Red One, providing strategic depth and customization options.
