In an alternate future where the First World War never ended, you serve as a Strike Commander leading the Empire State's campaign against rebel forces. Your base is a battle fortress facing enemy fortresses in side-view combat.
During real-time battles, choose enemy rooms and systems to target, then direct your guns and soldiers. Manage ammunition, power and limited manpower as crew operate weapons, repair damage, extinguish fires and respond to intruders. Active Pause lets you stop time to issue several orders.
Between battles, customize your fortress by choosing layouts and fitting weapons and utility facilities into its slots. Campaign victories bring rewards, including new layouts, upgrades, medals and perks.
In this sample, players who enjoy REDCON praise the tactical artillery duels, the freedom to customize fort layouts and try different strategies, and the distinctive war-torn style. Some also value the campaign, while others find its later battles demanding or repetitive and criticize the amount of crew micromanagement.
