REDCON takes a focused approach to real-time strategy by replacing traditional armies, sprawling battlefields, and base construction with enormous fortified positions locked in brutal artillery duels. Developed and published by Hexage, the game places the player in command of a military fortress where victory depends on far more than simply possessing the biggest guns. Weapons, ammunition, electrical power...
My artillery shells will blot out the sun of their laser cannons. All hail the mega-cannon, and remember that people are the most powerful ammunition of all.
