Takedown Red Sabre is a tactical shooter for Xbox 360 that emphasizes strategic gameplay over run-and-gun mechanics. Players must carefully plan their moves and execute precise shots to succeed in close-quarters engagements reminiscent of special forces operations. Featuring non-linear environments, the game allows for diverse tactics and replayability through various mission scenarios including counter-terrorism operations.
TAKEDOWN is a thinking-person’s shooter. The player that takes things slow, aims carefully, and plans their moves right will overcome the player who runs in with guns blazing. Close-quarters battle brings the fight inside, as you would see SWAT teams or SOF units taking down small numbers of dangerous adversaries. Non-linear environments allow for multiple routes and tactics and add replayability. The operation to clear pirates from a hijacked oil tanker by Russian special forces in May of 2010 is a perfect example of the types of missions in TAKEDOWN.
