Attention loyal and extremely dashing marines.
Do you like to kick STROL to the ground? Do you like to eat churros? Do you like to support your team members and be a proud member of your squad …on occasion?

If you answer yes to one, none or all of these, please consider nominating Red Solstice 2: Survivors for the ‘Better with Friends’ category in The Steam Awards!

Remember a time when your fellows squad members had your back. Remember a time when you failed to have your fellow squad members backs.
Remember those precious memories, hold on tight to them, feel the emotion and take that emotion into your next battle with the STROL …or directed towards the team member that left you for dead.

Red Solstice 2: Survivors is great in single player, but it really is ‘Better with Friends’.
