Red Chaos: The Strict Order is a real-time strategy game inspired by Starcraft and Command & Conquer series, in which two diametrically different factions conduct futuristic battles against each other. This PvP-focused game was produced by the three-person indie studio Squarecut Games.

Gameplay

The gameplay in Red Chaos does not deviate from the standard examples of the genre, mainly focusing on building bases, managing resources, and controlling military units. We have two factions to choose from: the Empire, characterized by advanced war machinery, and the Resistance Movement, fighting with guerrilla tactics and reclaimed technology.

Both sides of the conflict offer different styles of play, structures and units. The strengths and weaknesses of these last ones require thoughtful placement and tactical maneuvers. The Iron Hand possesses powerful tanks and air forces, striving for victory through fire superiority or maintaining positions thanks to solid defensive structures.

The Resistance, on the other hand, relies on unconventional tactics and tricks, having at their disposal vehicles designed for mobility and surprise attacks. The enemies of the Empire also use an underground tunnel system, which allows them for quick transport. Their arsenal includes machines like a flying bus that attacks enemies with explosive barrels.

Players in Red Chaos: The Strict Order are witnesses to escalating tensions between factions through various missions, leading both heroic attacks on the front and secret reconnaissance operations.

Game modes

Although we can play The Strict Order alone, the developers have emphasized multiplayer mode for up to six players. It is divided into PvP skirmishes and cooperative gameplay.

Story

In the burnt remnants of a global war, a spark of hope remains in an oasis called the Immaculate Garden. However, under the promise of a utopian order, there is an iron hand of a regime built on the ashes of conflict. In response to tyranny, a part of society forms the Resistance Movement, which leads to another war.
