## Review summary

Overall, Red Conquest! is praised as a deep, polished RTS on iOS with striking art, strong audio, and strategy that keeps players returning for years. Fans love the three factions, story depth, and the sense of mastery it offers, as well as the responsive controls and lasting developer support. However, multiple reviews flag recurring issues: long gaps between updates and missing content (episode 3), problems with the green campaign (disappearing content and crashes), balance concerns about the green faction, and lack of wide-screen support and multiplayer stability. The game remains a cherished classic but needs ongoing updates to stay fresh.

### Pros

- Deep, strategic RTS with strong balance and tactical depth.
- Stunning visuals and audio with polished controls and UI.
- Long-term appeal due to ongoing updates and developer support; a true classic.
- Three factions with a rich story and episodic content.
- Accessible to new players with a solid learning curve.

### Cons

- Infrequent updates or long gaps, with missing content like episode 3.
- Green campaign issues: disappeared content and crashes.
- Green faction balance is overpowered compared to others.
- Lack of wide-screen support / modern-device compatibility (updating for larger iPhones).
- Local multiplayer and general stability issues (crashes, fixes needed).
