How it feels

A tense game of bluff and misdirection where you command armies from a sweeping strategic view, relying on deception as much as firepower.

What players say

Players praise R.U.S.E. for holding up over time with a solid single-player campaign and large-scale multiplayer battles that emphasize strategy over micro-management. The game returned to Steam with updates and free DLC, though the small online community can be toxic and multiplayer suffers from crashes.
