## Description

REDCON is a fortress-based real-time strategy game set in a dystopian future where the First World War never ended. You are a Strike Commander, concentrating fire by double-tapping target rooms while your crew handles fires, repairs, and intruder control. Balance ammo, power, and manpower to keep your fortress operational as you target enemy rooms and push for victory.

Major Update 2.0 brings a World Map to replay levels and farm perks, improved graphics, and high refresh rate animations. Build and customize your battle fortress, use Active Pause to freeze time and issue multiple orders, and command a vast arsenal from soldiers to superguns. Infiltrate, annihilate, or grind targets through Attrition as you conquer Krux, earning medals and perks to strengthen your operations. Real-time decisions decide the fate of the war.
