REDCON

REDCON is an acclaimed action-adventure strategy game where you step into the boots of a veteran commander. You lead your forces to construct fortified strongholds and hold back hostile armies pressing in from the outside. With its crisp 2D combat visuals, the game blends fortress building with tactical tower defense-style missions.

Explore a detailed world map, replay content, and gradually strengthen both your defenses and your ability to strike back. Expect carefully crafted levels, tough missions, and the chance to experiment with a wide range of military gear—from classic artillery to extreme long-range weapons.

Awesome Highlights

• Build and customize your fortress with your own layout choices
• Use the world map to replay levels and unlock perks
• Active pause lets you stop time, then issue multiple orders at once
• An arsenal of weapons, from mortars and super cannons to intercontinental ballistic missiles
• Invade and infiltrate enemy positions using airships



• The free version includes 18 missions
• A one-time purchase unlocks premium content

Wonderful Benefits

You play as a commando commander. The Imperial Head of State assigns you to lead artillery in an assault against the traitorous General Kranz—assuming this mission could help bring an end to all wars.

Manage your battle fortress: develop and upgrade your arsenal and support facilities, then place them strategically across your fortress layout.

You’re in command. Aim at targets and direct your troops. The Freeze Time feature pauses the battlefield so you can coordinate repairs, extinguish fires, and launch planned assaults without losing control.

Victory pays off: conquer the rebellious nation of Crooks, unlock additional fortress layouts, and earn medals and perks that improve your chances in future battles.

Fight real-time strategy battles in a style reminiscent of Faster Than Light (FTL), where every decision can change the outcome.

Controls & Gameplay Notes

• Choose difficulty: Easy, Normal, or Hard
• Enemy fortresses are highlighted in red



• When you attack, the game shows your hit rate (for example, 80% means 8 out of 10 hits)
• Your fortress also shows a damage/status indicator:
  • Green: health
  • Blue: energy
  • Orange: ammunition
• Energy and ammunition can be restored at any time
• If health reaches zero, you lose the battle
• If you take heavy impact damage, you may hear a “crunching” sound
• Upgrade weapons: weapons with more effects typically reload slower, so upgrades help reduce reload time
• Use Freeze Time to pause combat and repair damaged equipment

Victory Rewards

Depending on how you perform, you can earn one of three reward types:

• Capture: destroy every enemy and wipe out all enemy weapons in the fortress
• Annihilation: if you eliminate 50% of enemies and destroy 50% of the weapons
• Attrition: if you focus on winning the fight rather than specifically killing enemies or destroying weapons

Among the three, Capture generally provides the most rewards. Then continue improving by upgrading your fortress layout and skills.

User Comments

• “10 stars”: Players say they keep returning to the game, praising the demo and noting there are no ads and the price feels fair. They highlight the dynamic gameplay and the many viable strategies.



• Trial vs full game: Some reviews mention a pay wall for the complete experience, but still recommend it if you enjoy the trial. Others praise the soundtrack and sound design, while describing the story as straightforward (more “bad guys doing bad guy stuff”), though looping back in an interesting way.
• REDCON PREMIUM: One player purchased Premium and reports strong impressions—praising the variety of artillery and weapon types (including EMP and laser) and describing the game as highly customizable. They also mention there are 105 levels with Premium.

Attractive Performance

Collect large amounts of armor and weapons, then decide whether your overall approach will work. Use your weapons to break into enemy fortresses while still defending your own. Since REDCON moves fast, it aims to deliver constant excitement and intense action.

Final Verdict

REDCON stands out as a strong strategy/action title linked to developer Hexage, known for games like Reaper and Radiant Defense. The game’s combination of tactical decision-making, fortress management, and varied weapon play makes it a compelling choice.
