DescriptionEdit

There are four games in the Red Faction series.

The first game in the series takes place on Mars, where a group of miners rebel against Ultor because of the horrible living conditions they had to face while on Mars. By the third game, Ultor is long gone and all that is left of it are a few ruins of Ultor buildings.
