Ratten Reich will be WW1 strategy like never before: Release soon and already big plans for afterwards
Genre: Strategy / Shooter | developer: Metalladler Studio | Release: 9. August (Steam / Early Access)
Battlezone, C&C Renegade, Natural Selection:
But Ratten Reich wants to revive this dead genre and brings a breath of fresh air. In this real-time strategy game, set in a steampunk and dieselpunk world, you command anthropomorphic armies of rats, mice, cockroaches and lizards who face each other in a merciless war.
The gameplay of Ratten Reich is based on real-time strategy: You must position your units cleverly on the battlefield to gather resources, build defenses and overwhelm your enemies. The game offers a wide range of units, each with specific roles and skills – from snipers to engineers to flamethrowers,
What makes Ratten Reich particularly special is the seamless integration of shooter elements into the strategy mechanics. You can take control of individual units and land the decisive hits yourself – just like in the classics mentioned above.
