This spectacular series of strategy games was acclaimed by critics and players alike, and Eugen Systems is now releasing a third and more ambitious title which, similarly to Wargame AirLand Battle, contains a host of new features. The game has spent months in development already and was finally unveiled to the press at Gamescom, Cologne in August. Wargame Red Dragon is the latest episode in the series, and fans can now view the first official screenshots!
Wargame Red Dragon retains the same core game mechanics that made the series so successful, but the action leaves Europe for the first time and moves to a conflict in Asia between 1975 and 1991.
5 new nations, among which China and North Korea, join the armed forces in Wargame, with over 450 new units. The introduction of naval and amphibian units is a particular highlight, with the maritime and river areas providing fresh strategic opportunities! The full cohort of each army is represented with a phenomenal total of more than 1,300 units and combat vehicles, all reproduced in meticulous detail from real-world models. A new solo campaign plunges players headlong into a hellish war around Korea, while Wargame’s extensive and road-tested multiplayer mode will engage them in some intense and spectacular battles with up to 20 other players simultaneously!
