“This game is a lot of fun. Its a rock paper scissor style rts game. It is easy to learn but hard to master. There are a lot of hidden mechanics that you will learn over time. I primarily played 10v10 online matches…”
“It's a pity Eugen Systems stopped their Wargame franchise because the games were a highpoint for RTS gaming. As it stands it's still remembered with much fondness in 2026 and while there was nothing wrong with the…”

“Is it realistic? Kind of! Is it a Cold War gone hot scenario? Absolutely! Will you get bent over and touched the first time you load up the campaign? Most likely! But seriously, it's a pretty difficult game - it took me…”

“It really doesn't get much better than wargame red dragon. Broken arrow tried, Warno is trying (and is actually doing quite good, but red dragon is still my personal favorite), REGIMENTS tried, and really none of them…”
“The game is a bit on the older side, but its still one of the best RTS games out there. Not many war games out there that depict East Asia, so a game that features and portrays them with utmost detail is a big win in my…”

“I didn't move to WARNO. I hope that EUGEN continues to support Wargame. If they added a post cold-war update (i.e. gulf war, yugoslav war, maybe 2nd Iraq war) - but without adding the "insurgent" materiel that typifies…”

“If you're expecting to just click units around in attack waves, turn around. It's complex, has a medium learning curve and requires tactical thinking. You have to think what kind of unit works best in a given scenario, and make the best use of the assets you have. There are…”
— a player, Steam review · 36 hrs played“I quite enjoyed the single player campaigns in this game. The game occupies a middle ground in strategy games where individual unit cannot be micromanaged but are still important enough to matter. This makes placing units in a position to succeed as important as the choices…”
— a player, Steam review · 175 hrs played“Good game, horrible community. I've straight-up stopped playing this game years ago because of how systematically toxic the multiplayer is. People give too much of a ♥♥♥♥ about win ratios in this game and will kick you out of their 3v3/4v4 lobbies if you're below 30%. So if you…”
