Wargame: Red Dragon

Peak, last truly good Eugen game, especially after the recent fantastic balance changes. Old but gold.

hell yea !

The actual war and real war crimes are going in the chat section in the main menu but still a BIG YES !

I am not a native speaker of English forgive my usage of translation app ：）
Recent update Eugen doesn't know that he doesn't know how to design the game mechanism at all. They think that a good game can be made by using the SD2 mechanism with only 400 or 500 people online every day and some red dragon designs, but in fact they don't consider the feelings of the players at all. The addition of two new dlc completely distorts the balance mechanism of different DECKs in the original game, which makes the general deck have too many helicopters and too many special units (such as similar ROKEKTS-ARTY, LGB aircraft), which leads to the simplification of the game process whether it is multiplayer game or qualifying game, breaking the high-level combination skill dominated by the combat system by designing combat logic and giving more game experience to low-level players. For example, in the version without South Africa and Italy, the blue army's motorized and airborne troops' assault capability is limited, and there is a lack of a comprehensive infantry with good attack vehicles, which to some extent requires the motorized deck to carry assault guns and plan limited direct fire, but with the addition of South Africa deck, the motorized deck can use cheap and high-grade 23AP ordinary motorized infantry. With the entry of Italy, motorization can even be deployed in a mechanized way to reduce costs, and Italian infantry is even a mountain infantry unit, which once again greatly reduces the threshold for players to get started and reduces the richness of high-level players' choices. The original diverse system construction methods were broken by efficient and low-cost DLC units, resulting in the loss of a large number of high-level players in both qualifying and multiplayer games.
Eugen seems to "encourage players to use" cluster "and" HR "tactics to increase FOB health and lower the operating threshold. From the time I played the war game Red Dragon, I knew that it was a law of the jungle game. No matter what inferior means your opponent used, whether using the game mechanism or any tactics, I could accept it. So I practiced my technical level until I beat the best player. I always think that it is an important factor to distinguish the level gap between high-level players by doing a good job in full-scale field reconnaissance and deploying Timing control to describe opponent tactics. As for preventing FOB or CV from being discovered, it is a problem that any WRD player should pay attention to from the beginning. This is not a balance factor. If you can't even guarantee that your own headquarters will not be exposed, then you are not qualified to participate in higher-level battles, and you will not have the ability to design complex combat logic.
In addition, in WARNO, although the function and complexity of the unit have increased, it has not made the battle more stereoscopic and interesting. Linear macro battlefield and overly complicated details Even with FOV tools, the front line is full of unpredictable visual loopholes. Finally, the game became HR and TR to win, and the whole battle was long and boring. Compared with Broken Arrow and WARNO, which are still under test, the music and art are more exquisite and smooth, and the operating mechanism of BA is not perfect or even annoying. However, BA surpassed WRD and Warno on the opening day, knowing that even WRD only reached 4.7k in 2015. Eugen can make good games, but I also hope you will respect your original design and the players who stick to your server (especially those who have bought many accounts like me). I don't want the red dragon to really become a DEADGAME. I love the WRD very much. Don't let us down.

After 10 years, they've come back and started banning people for talking shit in the chat.
I wasn't banned but they've literally abandoned the game for years, then started banning the small (But dedicated) community they have.
If you're thinking about buying this game, don't.
Just wait for Broken Arrow to come out, it's a better game all around.

Even tho the game is from 2014 it still awesome

MMMMM CLOSE AIR SUPPORT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD

Ok so, playing multiplayer late and night at staring at those MLRS launchers splattering the screen. so much fun. wonderful.

Great successor of Wargame Airland Battle. Improvement of many mechanics and improvement of overall gameplay. As of now, multiplayer is more active than I would expect of a 10 year old niche game. Steep learning curve but it can still be enjoyable.

10/10 would get yelled at in general global chat again

One of the best RTS games

The Counter Strike 1.6 of RTS games

I like the strategic aspects of the campaign, wish there were more like it. Ordnance go boom

great game, i wanna go home.

Fun game, although I prefer warno nowadays

"Artillery is adding dignity to what would otherwise be an ugly brawl", as I flatten an innocent town with napalm rockets

great RTS

goyim eviscerator 2000

One of the best RTS games of all time

Absolutely amazing masterpiece

Everybody wants to Rule the World, but in the Far East.

even tho im actually cheeks this game is pretty fun, finland fun.

add more maps

I would be fine with the game if the AI didn't cheat so horribly. I kill at least double the artillery units they get in the deck on vs AI matches.

I bought this game looking for aspiritual successor to RUSE and I found a an amazing tactical RTS with buttloads of complexities and a punishingly hard learning curve.
This game requires time and effort until it becomes enjoyable, its not a casual experience. Figuring out all the different types of weapons, the quirks and details of different units and why the hell your Anti-Air just exploded takes time and can be frustrating. However when you master it you're rewarded with a fun and engaging RTS experience.

There are genuine issues though:
-The AI is more A than I and can only rush all of their units into your lines in a straight line, making singleplayer a bit repetetive and shallow.

-The Multiplayer is still alive, but its not very populated, so unless you're a PvE enthusiast you might not get your moneys worth.

!עם ישראל חי

all around poor game

NEVER BUY THIS GAME IF YOURE INTERESTED PLAYING MULTIPLAYER, full of hackers on session ESPing your units. this old game cannot block cheating ruinning your game experience.

i still dont know how helicopters work 10/10

Good game with solid replay ability and good skill curve

good game

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ITS TRASH I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS SINCE IT CAME OUT ITS UI AND AI ARE TRASH SO MANY GAME METAS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT U DO CUZ SOMEONE WILL OBVIOUSLY HAVE A MUCH CHEAPER STRAT THEN U SO ITS NOT EVEN WORTH WASTING UR TIME ON THIS GAME. THIS GAME DEVELOPER IS SO TRASH HONEST TO GOD THANK GOD A COMPETITOR IS ABOUT TO RELEASE A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED GAME THAT WILL COME OUT SOON TO RECTIFY HOW HORRIBLE THIS GAME IS GOD I WISH I GOT ALL MY HOURS BACK FROM THIS GAME.

This game is the most angering painful experience you'll ever have with an RTS. I hated every moment of micro. I hate this game.

10/10
5 Stars
I'd buy this again in a heartbeat.

Best Eugen game ever

good game but just get warno idk why ppl stuck on this lol naval battles the only thing its got on warno tbh

Servers suck and the admin's are pansies - would not recommend

If ever wondered what they play in military academies

One of my favorite RTS Military Strategy games. I like it a lot more than Warno. It is still fun with them adding Nation Packs every few years.

Best played in coop, the campaign hurt me bad

its a shit game first of all they put in real life weapons, tanks, artillery systems etc, but then they change all of the actual statistics for them to make them fit their needs. the game is full of 40 year old no lifers who spent way to much time on this game so they know that this one specific unit can be abused if you do it a certain way and then they get 90% winrate and the game developers do nothing about it because the only people that buy their shitty game is these kinds of people. the recon/spotting another level of bullshit. artillery killed this game because there is no option to dig trenches or fortify your positions. people who play this game at the highest levels mostly use units like a jeep with a ww2 cannon on it and win against the most modern elite units, choppers, planes, tanks etc, complete shit-show. not to mention their plattform is completely un-administered which means most of the time you can spew out the most racist thing you can think of in all chat and that is what happens. but be wary there are alot of american republicans so if you start talking shit about america or trump you might get a lifetime ban.

This game makes me discover new levels of hatered for soulles pieces of code representing pieces of modern military hardware 11/10

Its a great real-time strategy game and i can say its worth a try. Though one thing that i have to see critical is the Ai. I recommend playing this with friends as beginners or with a friend/someone who already has knowledge about the game. Even the easy Ai took me and a friend 3 hours to beat in Total Destruction mode.
The game is not really beginner friendly but offers a reading tutorial and a campaign mode (wich i havent figured out how it works myself yet).

we're playing a wargame, with the red dragon mister president

Hi guys,
I usually don't write any review on games, but this time it's different: I bought the 2 last DLCs for Wargame - the first on January this year - and none of them are working. Purchased them through Steam and installed them correctly but both are missing. Wrote to Eugen Systems and it took me a long long time to get actually no helpful tip or solution to get them work. Steam rejects all responsibility on it so I just wasted money and all hope on this game. I did check if I did a mistake when installing both DLCs, I checked in the options menu and tried multiple - actually all possible - ways to get this sh!t work properly but it definitely failed.
So guys, if you are stuck with the same problem, just let me know. This should not happen. It's either you release something that works or you don't release anything at all.
This game was great at the beginning. Now it completely sucks. And since none of them - Steam and Eugen System is able to find a solution or neither to refund you when such thing happens. If you guys are happy about the last DLCs, good for you. If you're not and if you met the same problem, I strongly recommend you avoid buying stuff from them anymore.
Got pissed 2 times with that sh!t. I think you all can understand and agree that one time is acceptable. Two times is not.

Very good strategy game, reminds me of World in Conflict, would give it a 8/10 overall.


Would have been much better if made with modability in mind. I believe it would have had lots more contributions from the community. However if you're a strategy guy this is a game you'll love.

I FAKEN LOVE THE M270 ATACMS AND THE PATRIOT SAM SYSTEM

Bland and boring.

Regiments is better - and that game is made by one person.

One.

nice game play but design should be more shapper then? Infantry can be spreading separately easy and regroup easy?

As is with all games by Eugen Systems. They are tailored to a specific group and are not for new comers.

This is a game that I would recommend to anyone with an interest in military technology, vehicles, equipment, and combined arms. You will need to learn quite a lot about these to be good at the game, so if it is not your cup of tea, maybe skip this one.
