Got into the closed beta for my dedication to the series, and was not disappointed at all. China could use a little buff considering the fact that the game is called Red Dragon after all, and half of China's within time frame units have been questionably ommitted. Naval warfare could use a little tweaking as well, because its implementation was poor at first. However the upcoming naval patch notes look extremely promising. In terms of improvement over the AirlandBattle, this game has done it all. Land battles are now far more realistic, intense, and tactical thanks to some of the revolutionary changes that Eugen has made in map design, pace, and terrain. Indeed, this game has taken the openness and unlimited tactical/strategic opportunities that were the trademark of W:EE, and combined them with the ferocity that was characteristic of W:AB battles. But overall, from my many hours of closed beta testing, this is the ultimate culmination of the awesome Wargame series. The enormous scale, realistic terrain, and the unlimited tactical, operational and even strategic options that this glorious game provides has never ceased to amaze me. Indeed, this is any amateur wargamer's/armchair general's (like myself) wet dream, and I would fully recommend this to anyone seeking an immersive, immense, and ultimately fulfilling historical/military experience. I wish I had the Mad Money guy's bullish button to press right now... BUY BUY BUYShow moreShow less
1. Purchased the game in 2016. 2. Enjoyed it 3. They popped up a new privacy policy that requires me to grant them permission to track and sell my personal data 4. I refused, so the launcher closed. Can't play anymore. 5. I asked Steam for refund even though I've got 87 hours on record. Eugen Systems thinks it's in their best interest to unilaterally demand I agree to let them own and sell my personal data and compile more of my personal data from 3rd party sources or they won't let me use the product I paid for?Show moreShow less

The first Wargames was pretty awesome, totally new. The second Wargames introduced some interesting stuff, but really could be best described as "now with airplanes!" Red Dragon of all the series is least functional. It had a half-hearted "navy" layer added that was so comically broken that it was more or less left unchanged after it was terminally broken in the beta. There's such a lack of focus, while there's thousands of units, only maybe a few dozen are actually relevant, and frequently they're represented by marginal quality models clearly done by the lowest bidder. Worse, the developer itself refuses to change models that are 100% wrong, or entirely substandard quality because someone on their forums hurt their feelings once. Please note the last statement is entirely 100% true. They call the no-updated-models thing the "UGBEAR" policy after said poster. In terms of gameplay it goes more or less like the following: 1. Single Player: Terrible. It's your more or less bog standard skirmish maps arrayed in a sequence, with a tissue paper thin "strategic" level. The AI is frankly too moron to do anything but "drive towards things!" which it will do with gusto. The key to any mission is successfully destroying whatever blob the AI has summoned forth before it destroys whatever much smaller blob you were allocated for the mission is destroyed. Then pair this with some really stupid choices in terms of campaign design (Fact: Did you know South Korea's defense hinges on French and German intervention?), and just how many damned times you'll fight on the same map, doing the same thing, with the same units against the same total lack of objectives except "DESTOY TANKS," and it's really quite telling how few folks play singleplayer more than a few missions. Which is rather a shame, the campaigns in the first Wargame were quite well put together, challenging missions with a wide variety of objectives and terrain. Additional caveats: a. This is the least Asian game to be set in Asia since video games were made. You basically have two terrain types, Europe with Pagodas, or the American Southwest with Pagodas. These two terrain types represent everything from the Russian far-east, to Tokyo. b. Again, despite being a game oriented on events in Asia, most of the effort went into making the European countries in game larger and more full of weirdo stuff that never actually reached service. The Asian factions, the ones that you would think would command some attention in a game called "Red Dragon" are very poorly realized and hardly worth playing. The Chinese forces are a curious mix of equipment China never had, and total exclusion of several key systems they used extensively, the Anzac formations are pure crap, and the North Korean force, which arguably are pretty central to a game that spends so much time in Korea are....terrible. Not gameplay terrible, but poorly researched, poorly realized, and ultimately best skipped. 2. Multiplayer The best way to describe it is whatever broken cheesy tactic of the month on a loop. MRLS type rockets are powerful this week? STANDBY FOR ROCKET SWARMS ALL MATCH AND NOTHING ELSE. Super-cheap planes spammed out? It's going to be raining planes for a few days. Somehow crappy bottom tier infantry becomes way too cost effective? Waves of mans for forever. You'll note a recoccuring theme. It's not even like "the heavy tank shuffle!" or some other weird tactic just works really well. From the first Wargame, to the last most of your games start with a spammy spam rush or artillery spam and end with same. It's all right if you're playing with a friend, or folks you know aren't douches. But public matches are an exercise in pulling your own teeth out. Which ties into a few subtopics on multiplayer: a. There's only a handful of "good" maps, which is to say, ones that are not broken/unbalanced etc. And you'll play on all those maps within the first day of playing the game more than once. It gets old, fast. b. Many of the maps are...boring. Like imagine a flat open field. Put a river through it. Add some trees. CONGRATS! I just described several of the maps you'll be playing on. 3. Eugen is a terrible company. Here's things they do okay: +You do not have to pay for any of their DLC. +Wargames EE was pretty good! +As far as I can tell, none of them are terrorists. Here's things that make them marginal -They do not deliver on promised features, and then lie/have really bad excuses why it's your fault those features do not exist. Examples: a. Red Dragon was promised to have sufficent ships to fully flesh out the smaller combatants of all the factions that had Navies. This is several times over not the case. If you want to play Naval stuff (which you shouldn't do anyway because its pretty terrible), as NATO your force is an all nations dreamteam of Japanese, French....and really skip the American and British stuff because it's not like either of those countries had Navies anyway (and are represented by a bad frigate and a not really used in number missile boat, and a terrible frigate respectively). b. A map pack was promised with the last major patch. It was claimed the maps were being withheld because...well either to give the dev team more time to work on fixing a HUGE exploit that went more or less un-fixed for a month or so, or because we're sinners and don't deserve maps I guess? Either way the maps have never showed up, and asking about them on the game's forums will get you either banned, or at the least the thread locked without comment. c. Think of it like this. You know those Twilight Zone episodes, where the guy finds a Genie in a lamp, and he gets his wishes, but the wishes are some jacked up terrible version of what he wished for? That's Eugen in a nutshell. Folks who played mostly US forces were concerned that oddly enough, despite the USAF being the largest air force in the world, is having some major issues with air to air combat. Eugen's fix to this was to add in the PATRIOT missile system, which did not fix the US's lackluster air to air capabilities, but did totally break the rest of the air force part of the game as now there was a SAM site that could shoot down things over half the map. Broken part broken, and new game breaking element added in for giggles. -Their community manager is pretty much the biggest troll on their forums. You have a problem with how things are balanced? Honhonhon, you watch too many movies. You say something unkind about France? He's going to be insulting as he can get away with, and then get you banned if you say so much as anything but stating a devout love of froglegs and terrible movies full of ennui. - Things stay broken for reasons known only to God. You can shoot down helicopters in this game with artillery. Like seriously, here's Mr. Helicopter hovering along, and OH NO INDIRECT FIRE! helicopter is dead. This is stupid. This is also the reality of the game since the first one. This has never been fixed, or addressed. This is also but one of several brokey broke features that have remained with Wargames since 2011 or so. You get some vague answer about "the engine cannot handle it" but that's a bit like saying the Ford Pinto is designed in a way that causes it to catch fire, so drive safe! vs fixing it when you make a new one. I really could go on. I'm still annoyed enough when I see this game on my list though to finally write this review. This really is not the game for you. If you want a good RTS, there's plenty of better ones out there. If you want a good cold war game? God avoid this mess, it's pretty much like if Tom Clancy was french and mildly mentally handicapped version of the cold war. If you want realism, this game is just as much not for you. Perhaps you could instead try a nice game of chess?Show moreShow less

Developer support is terrible and they purposely removed support for Mac and Linux retroactively after 6 years. I have 3173 hours in the game and the developer purposely ruined the game overnight. I did request a refund which was refused, do not buy this or any game from Eugen Systems. Mac and Linux support should be removed, it's a primarily multiplayer game that tricks Mac and Linux players into thinking they can play.Show moreShow less
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! In this astounding masterpiece of RTS games, you can control many of the major military powers on earth. I have participated in the closed beta and was granted access for being dedicated to this ground-breaking series from Wargame: European Escalation to Wargame: AirLand Battle; Wargame: Red Dragon is set to be the greatest modern military strategy games of all time. With access to nearly 1500 units at your command on land, sea, and in the air; the methods of your attack and defense are limitless. The terrain is so gorgeous and vibrant that it will make one hesitate before calling in an artillery or napalm strike and desolate the area. The dynamic campaign is something to salivate over and you will even be able to simulate a battle between the two Koreas and see who will be the last nation standing. Play as the Soviet Union versus the United States and find out if you have what it takes to sink the enemy fleet to the bottom, pluck the feathers of their air force, and fire the last shot to claim your victory. With so much to say about this great game, check out some gameplay here...

Community is literally garbage. I have hundreds of hours in all wargame titles, my victory ratio in EE and ALB is 60%. I'm not even mad, and I'm saying the community is terrible. I mean, if you're the type of person who likes to sit in teamspeak and flirt with your clanmates, then this title might touch you in all the right ways. But if you're a normal person, it's just a headache. These clan-oriented people basically stack the nato half of lobbies, then wait, sometimes for hours, until noobs fill the pact team. I'm not even exaggerating, they WILL NOT switch and balance the lobby: they will WAIT until the pact team fills with noobs who don't understand what's happening. Oh, then after crushing a team with 5 hours played combined -- they all act like they're really cool and good. Game itself -- 8/10. Game + playerbase -- 3/10.Show moreShow less
- 200+ hours on all three games combined = still suck at it. - Everyone is better than you in multiplayer. - The AI cheats. 10/10 love this gameShow moreShow less
Bought this to play the SP campaigns because I couldnt give 2 shakes of a certain object about multiplayer. Went into the campaigns and after a short time you begin to realize that the computer is basically playing with a map cheat and infinite resource cheats. Eugen, all I want from the computer is the same limited initial supply like I have to deal with and the same point gain I have to deal with as well. I dont care that your AI is so brick dumb that is literally throws tanks into CQC environments ripe with shoulder launched AT. I dont even really care that the AI starts with knowing EXACTLY where my command units are. What I do care about is how the AI threw over 60 tanks at me AT THE START OF A MISSION when I was able to spawn a max of 10. The point total of armor they threw at me in the first minute was well in excess of FOUR TIMES what I started with for MAX deployment points. Whiskey. Tango. FOXTROT. Pros Its fun to watch tanks shoot Tactical complexity is there Cons AI cheats out its bum in SP Point caps mean nothing to AI in SP SP is overall rubbish due to RedTide AIShow moreShow less
