Our take on Act of War: High Treason

The store page emphasizes the size of the content additions, including maps, units, and upgrades, while giving less space to the practical differences between its three multiplayer modes and the role of its nine mercenaries.

Act of War: High Treason is a modern military real-time strategy game set during terrorist attacks targeting both U.

S. presidential candidates.

The game includes a new single-player campaign, more than 50 multiplayer maps, three online multiplayer modes, and customization options. Naval battles use advanced water physics, while the expanded technology roster adds more than 50 ships, tanks, aircraft, soldiers, and upgrades. Nine mercenaries are also available.
