Our take on Ratten Reich
Destructible buildings define the battlefield: assaults can alter available cover and change how enemy positions are approached during combat.
What is Ratten Reich?
Ratten Reich is a real-time strategy game set in a steampunk and dieselpunk world at war between rats, mice, cockroaches, and lizards.
Battles span three continents with different conditions: swampy trenches hinder movement, fortified bases obstruct assaults, and desert sandstorms reduce visibility. Most buildings can be destroyed, allowing battlefield cover and attack routes to change. The four factions have distinct infantry arsenals, and missions are available for the RR, FMR, ERS, and RD forces. Unit cards provide information for controlling troops during combat. The game includes blood and dismemberment, is in early access, and comes with a comic book about its universe in the game's extra-content folder.
