Wargame: Red Dragon

For all the military buffs out there, this game is a must-have. The meticulous management of each unit during a battle whilst fighting through 2 (sometimes even 3!) corridors is extremely engaging.

First - if you want to play a game, you need a manual or a tutorial to play it. If it´s not givin and you can´t play the game, you should give it a thumbs down.

Same here

Could be a good game? or not? You don´t know, cause there is no information how to play. And this comes from a gamer who played for decades. It´s not okay to get to know how to play by searching the internet. No recomodation here!

My biggest gripe is that zero effort went into the AI. Nothing but helicopter spam which is really sad because I want to like this game so much. Frankly it hasn't changed even with their new game WARNO. The developers just aren't learning from past mistakes and it shows. The only decent game from this developer is Steel Division 2, but instead of helicopter spam it is tank spam lmao. I'm just playing these games until operation arrowhead or whatever that new RTS is called that's coming out soon. The AI in that game was actually really fun to play and I cannot wait for it to come out so I can dump this company permanently.

Can you please put the option to turn off airplanes while playing vs Ai? Helicopters are fine but with airplanes it's too much for me.

Thank you folks.

fun game but the dude i used to play with had a drunken episode that resulted in him deleting everyone off steam.

because of this i can't play vs A.I. because its dogshit pointless.


the developers are the kind that will see you say a naughty word and take the role of your mother and ban you from playing the game at all.

i suggest avoiding this developer if they do that in their other titles as well.

game itself is fun with someone same skill level as you.

A Masterpiece of Large-Scale Modern Warfare

After nearly 200 hours in Wargame: Red Dragon I can confidently say that this is the pinnacle of large-scale, real-time modern warfare strategy. There aren't games that capture the sheer depth, scale and tactical freedom that Red Dragon has, making it an endlessly engaging experience for those who love detailed, strategic battles.

The open, well thought out battlefield design is one of the game’s strongest aspects. Every match feels like a living, breathing warzone, where terrain, positioning, and logistics matter just as much as firepower. The ability to command forces across land, sea, and air creates a truly dynamic battlefield that requires careful planning and adaptation. Whether you’re executing a well-coordinated armored push, setting up an ambush in dense forests, or calling in precise airstrikes, every decision carries weight.

The scale of battles is incredible. Seeing hundreds of units in action, from tanks and helicopters to mechanized infantry and naval warships, never gets old. The level of detail in unit design, sound, and visual effects makes engagements feel visceral and satisfying. Explosions are cinematic, tracer rounds light up the battlefield, and the chaos of modern combat is portrayed beautifully. The only thing I feel would add to the game would be dynamic weather and time change, battlefields having night time operation variants.

One of the most rewarding aspects is mastering complex battle tactics. The learning curve is steep, but the payoff is immense. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different units, managing supply lines, and executing combined arms tactics makes victories feel truly earned. The deck building system allows for deep customization, letting players fine-tune their forces to match their strategic style.

Despite being released years ago, Red Dragon remains one of the best RTS games out there, with a dedicated player base and an impressive level of replayability. The sheer variety of nations, units, and strategies means no two battles are ever the same.

If you’re a fan of large-scale, realistic strategy games that reward tactical thinking and careful planning, Wargame: Red Dragon is a must-play. It’s a game that continues to impress even after hundreds of hours, and for anyone who appreciates detailed, authentic warfare, it’s one of the best experiences out there.

Забанили за правду

Fun for the most part if you play alone.
My main problem is why after i beat a campaign mission it just stays the exact same? no line through it no hint that I beat it and i can move on. it just stays like i never even played or beat the missions. Not sure whats up with that but the campaign stuff is just trash but if you like to just play skirmish then you will like this game. That's all i play the game for is skirmish otherwise this game just sits around uninstalled.

Good game

WOULD SMASH

the name reminds me of the of bad dragon the adult toy company

do not fight ai, ai mastermind... Player sometime smart but most time stubid... Im stubid...

My friend wont let me stop playing this forsaken game

Great game with good premise, inclusion of early to post-cold war assets and intuitiveness of game mechanics is great and immersive. But the controls of and micromanaging many units at once is hard for new players. It also feels like the AI always has more deployment points than humans...

Campaign is great, and realistic, but with the number of European DLCs and the Israeli one it would've been interesting to see one or two extra set in Europe or the Middle East.

Would only recommend if you are diehard about a tactical RTS like this, a bit outdated otherwise.

beutiful game

GREAT GAME ALL AROUND

cool game

very fun game

Though of playing this game because used to play turn based strategy games when I was a kid.
Started with the easy campaign.
Deployed the troops but don't not how to move them.
Enemy rushed me and took out the command unit.
Forgot about the units on the other side of the map.
Could not fight back and got massacred.
Can't imagine the very hard campaign.

Playing on the Steam Deck.. It runs amazing! The controls take a little getting used too but so far no problems! The graphics are good too! I'd say it should be Steam Deck verified but to login you need to utilize the keyboard!

Life Before Death.
Strength Before Weakness.
Game Play Before Graphics.

Childhood fantasies of making my toys go boom have been realized

the reality of the game and the game tactics

Why haven't I recommended this game already?
It's just the best RTS there is.

Don't bother with this game if you want single player modes. They're a buggy, janky, poorly made afterthought with lazy, cheating AI.

The campaign map mechanics are especially a mess, full of random quirks that make no sense. For instance, if an enemy attacks into your big army, none of your ground units can move until you fight the battle, and then the battle magically depletes ALL initiative (move points) for ALL your units! So they can keep you from ever moving your army again by just suiciding something tiny at you every turn.

And then the way zone control for battles changes is super buggy, the core logic itself is quite convoluted, there are a lot of reasons zone control can change from battle to battle. But even besides all those rules, sometimes it will just randomly change, you'll have just won a total victory and routed the enemy army, and then they attack again next turn and nonsensically you're knocked down to Alamo configuration (one zone versus all others) for no reason whatsoever.

I could go on...moving your aircraft to a new airfield uses up all movement, when it should be as simple as "hey, just land here when you're done this turn 'k?" The "routing retreating armies" mechanic seems like it wasn't playtested, it can be really easily exploited if you have a helicopter squad, doing silly nonsensical things like sending that heli squad out over an enemy sector so it doesn't get its entire initiative zapped by a fight, then when the enemy army routs, send those helis at the retreating army, and voila, you just eradicated an entire enemy army with 4 helis.

The git gud edgelords will say any criticism is because you suck, but no, I'm beating the campaigns. It just feels cheesy, buggy, and undeserved when you're losing, until you figure out how to exploit the AI and janky game mechanics, and then it feels cheesy, buggy, and undeserved when you're winning.

Very fun, even more fun with friends

The Bussyan Pocket

why's there good gameplay in my racism game?
good RTS to rival the memes of original command & conquer: red alert, just NEVER look at war chat :)

One of the best RTS games. Not super easy to learn right away but after a few hours this game turns into a top 10 FPS. Lots of unit variety.

hi
how can i fix internal server error?

Лучшая игра, чтобы почувствовать себя тупым после starcraft

If you expect to have a game where you can use intelligent tactics to handle the enemy, don't play this game, or at least not the Horribly designed campaigns. Every guide you find will Lie to you, the AI is DUMB and just swarms their entire force at one point at a time, with the best stuff immediately, and the campaigns are designed so that you are ALWAYS the underdog and NEVER have what you need to possibly win.

The AI will always use the same tactic over and over, mass you with the best units it has, whether that be tanks or helicopters, and it Actively is able to cheat and know where all your units are at all times, so even if your units are "hidden" it doesn't matter, the enemy will just use artillery to strike the location, even if they have no logical way of knowing where your stuff is, they just know.

Maybe the online is better, but I don't play online, I just play against AI, and this AI is absolutely shit, and the campaigns are designed to dick you over left and right.

Game ran fine on my old laptop but ever since that Italian update I can't even play the game anymore. Anytime I play the campaign or even skirmish I'll place my units start the battle then it crashes straight to my desktop.

useless mods. dont waste your money. wish i could get my money back for the game and DLCs

I'm unemployed and have no GF, but that doesn't matter, Wargame's my pussy

Limitations in deck building leave the game rather boring....
and a long list of minor game improvements are needed,
EX Engineering and recovery vehicles,
offinceive (mine laying and clearing ) and defensive obstacles ( trenches and anti tank definces )

The game is OK at best BUT it's just another DLC money grab

I only play PVE but it still fun

the only tabletop rts with any realism. Its like WoW, it may never be replaced. WARNO is just this game with new graphics, and i prefer this one

Seems I'm coming back to this game every Christmas break, just to play the Korea war campaign. Compared with later games like Steel Division 2 and WARNO, you can bring in all the air power you have in range. Sometimes that can really help tip the balance of the battle, and for myself this campaign is the one that best captures the doctrine of superior air power in this series. This is why I return to this game, as well with the naval part that's also part of the campaign.

It's a good game but the community is toxic. These players are so racist they make Call of Duty players look like a bunch of sensitive liberals. The "Core gameplay" of this game is good. The problem is that it is so old that only super cracked veteran players are still playing, and the occasional noob, so multiplayer isn't fun becase everyone is going to be WAY better than you are. Or you're on the opposite side and paying against a noob who doesn't know how to play, which is also not as fun because it's too easy. It is terribly unbalanced. It makes frustrating weird gameplay decisions that don't make sense because it's trying to be "realistic" but it doesn't usually work out that way. Play their new game WARNO instead, it's a better game and you have a much better chance of winning.

Multiplayer is good but playing against the AI is terrible as it's only tactic is to spam rush you at the start which does throw you off at first but once you learn to deal with it, it quickly becomes a tower defence game.

very epic very cool

noice but bad micro management.

Massive multiplayer desync issues.

Has Israel so based game. Gods chosen people.

The game is a cool grand strategy game in concept, but it is heavily biased. Don't expect to win any games unless you pick a NATO country, or China. Many of the Warsaw Pact units say they have AT, yet they refuse the use the AT. The game is basically tank spam simulator, since it seems to be the only way to win. They encourage you to use all these different specialized units that miss all their shots if they even register the target in front of them.

great game to suck the utter shite at

My wife left me because I played too much, doesnt matter, Wargame is love, Wargame is Life.

It the best fun military game for cold war sadly there are lest people play this game
