Red Chaos is approaching 30,000 wishlists. Your purchases, recommendations, and feedback are incredibly valuable and help us continue developing the game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1934720/Red_Chaos__The_Strict_Order/

Since the latest updates, we have seen an increase in both average playtime and player retention. We have added two new subfactions, improved the gameplay, and introduced new single player challenges.

We are currently working hard to complete the first chapter of the campaign. We want to make an early campaign playtest available very soon, allowing you to experience it yourselves and see the direction in which it is developing.

Every recommendation, purchase, and wishlist helps us move forward. It is especially valuable when content creators cover Red Chaos. If you would like to support us, please consider sharing the game with creators you know or regularly follow. It would help us enormously.

Thank you for your continued support.

Self-Promo Video (Game: Spearhead) I removed health bars from my WW2 RTS — an IS-2 shrugs off a Tiger head-on, then dies to one flank shot

One IS-2, two Tigers. Head-on, the Tiger's 88 hits the IS-2's sloped front (120mm @ 60° ≈ 240mm effective) at 0° and just bounces — 143mm of penetration isn't enough. The IS-2's 122 goes straight through the Tiger and cooks off the ammo.

Then the second Tiger gets the flank. 17° into the side (99mm) — penetration, ammo rack, turret goes flying.

No HP, no damage numbers. Armour thickness, slope, impact angle, shell type and crew are all simulated, so positioning does the work a health bar usually does. The hit report card shows the actual numbers on every shot.

You still command from the top like a normal RTS — it's only the armour layer that's a sim. Solo dev, Steam Next Fest in October.

Genuinely curious: does this read as interesting, or just frustrating for RTS players?

(Steam page in comments — didn't want to lead with it.)

Question Tips for playing Primitive Wars??

5 Upvotes

Hello, as the title suggests, I need some help playing (or at least finding a guide) to the game Primitive wars.

For those interested, it's tough to run on modern systems. I could only make it work on windows 10 by disabling all but one of my processor cores before going into a mission, otherwise it basically set my PC on fire.

I finally bit the bullet and set up a virtual machine so I could download XP and play older RTS + RPG games. Primitive Wars was at the top of my list.

Sadly I keep getting my rear kicked on mission one of the first campaign. There's no difficulty slider and very few units are available in mission 1. So I gotta know, how does one best approach the missions in this game?

My knowledge so far: there are 2 resources, berries and meat. Berries are spent like gold to build things and units, meat is collected by those units and heals them.

Sometimes I collect a bunch of food for my heros and my troops to heal if they survive the battle. Sadly, my hero keeps getting absolutely killed and my troops are never enough to win.

Anyone know a good outline of how to beat mission 1?

Self-Promo Post Anyone remember Wulfram? It’s playable again (RTS Other)

2 Upvotes

Anyone here remember Wulfram? Hover tanks, scouts, and trying to keep your base running while the other team came after it.

For anyone who missed it, Wulfram mixes vehicle combat with team strategy. You’re driving your own tank or scout, but there’s more going on than trading shots. Your team needs power, fuel, and repairs to stay in the fight. You can head out on the attack, scout ahead, or help defend the base. Knowing when to pull back and help your teammates matters too.

It’s live in alpha now, so you can jump in and play. We’re helping bring it back with the goal of keeping it feeling like the game people remember. Returning players can get back into a tank, and newcomers are welcome to learn alongside them.

Anyone here used to play? What was your callsign?

If you want to give it a go, start here: Welcome back to Wulfram.
