Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
11 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
Combat occurs in real time, but the Active Pause feature is one of REDCON's most important mechanics.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
11 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
Most of the story is given through text communications with the few characters in the game and that works well.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
Weapons, ammunition, electrical power, personnel, defensive systems, and structural damage all demand attention, creating battles that feel like carefully controlled tactical emergencies.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is very often strategic, which I appreciate a lot, it's all too easy to just add more guns to the other side but this game rarely, if ever, does that.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects really give the animations more of a weighty punch, especially for some of the larger cannons.
