Far Cry® 3: Blood Dragon is THE Kick-Ass Cyber Shooter.Welcome to an 80’s vision of the future. The year is 2007 and you are Sargent Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando. Your mission: get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the world.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal · Published by Ubisoft







In an alternate 2007 shaped by nuclear war, you play Sergeant Rex Colt, a cyber-commando sent to stop a rogue colonel and save the world. The island setting mixes cyber-soldiers, mutants, and laser-eyed blood dragons with a deliberately over-the-top take on 1980s action and science-fiction.
Explore the open world, take on story and side missions, and capture enemy outposts using stealth or direct attacks. You can also rescue hostages, hunt creatures, collect items, and use bait to draw blood dragons toward enemy positions.
Combat centers on firearms and futuristic weapons, with Rex able to move quickly and leap without fall damage. Levels grant character abilities automatically, while optional missions unlock weapon attachments; collecting items and completing activities provide additional goals.
Positive reviews often highlight the neon retro-futurist style, 1980s action-film humor, and synth-heavy soundtrack as a distinctive package. Players also enjoy the brisk shooting and outpost-clearing, and some appreciate that the campaign is compact rather than stretched out. These positives coexist with frequent reports of server-connection interruptions and technical problems.
