R.U.S.E. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is like risk, axis and allies, and chess all put into one game with crisp graphics and nice animations.Its the true "thinking man's" game.By a long shot R.U.S.E. is the best strategy game for consoles yet!The solo campaign is a little weak story wise, but there are levels where you are tested on how well you can command and keep your men alive from ceaseless attacks on key cities. (which is super fun)The multiplayer is very diverse and well crafted.9/10 for me!

Viewlarger. Rebirth of the RTS Genre Through Deception
Developed by Eugen Systems, R.U.S.E is a WWII based Real-time Strategy(RTS) game that is set to refresh the genre through the introduction ofbattlefield deception on a major scale. Of course the existence of deceptionas a tactic is as old as the RTS genre itself, but the approach to thistaken by R.U.S.E is far beyond anything that has come before it.Instead of the one-off ploys and minor misdirections enacted at players'discretion seen in other games, R.U.S.E. Raises deception to thelevel of an integral battlefield tactic. Deceptive tactics, known as "Ruses,"allow players to do things like bluff enemies in order to lead your nation'sarmy to victory, camouflage your troops, lure your opponent with decoy units,sabotage his logistics and more. Ruses are built into the game's mechanicsin the form of "cards" that can be played at particular times. There aremany of these to choose from and use in accordance with particular scenariosand unit abilities. Just a few of these include:

Radio Silence - A way to hides all units in a sector from an enemy intelligence system.
Spy Plan - Reveals all unidentified units in the sector and keeps spy units hidden from the enemy detection system as long as they do not leave the affected area.
Decryption - Reveals all enemy orders in a chosen sector.
Decoy Offensive - Creates 5 decoy units to simulate an actual attack, drawing enemy forces out.
Camouflage Net - Hides buildings and production facilities from enemy intelligence resulting in possible flanking scenarios by unexpected forces and unseen resources.
