R.U.S.E.™

Played a 4 man multiplayer game after not having played the console version for years. All 3 dudes are level 100 mafia bosses and im a level 1 noob. Spammed paratroopers and got them insta wiped and annoyed 2 players with this. They declare jihad on me and try to kill me. I keep countering with basic light tanks and crap AA guns. Get them so annoyed from using basic units and ruse's they keep calling me monkey and rage quit. 10/10 unironically wish this kinda toxic playerbase was around when I played as a kid.

HOLY MOTHER OF TACTICAL TANKS — R.U.S.E. is the kind of strategy game that sneaks into your brain at 3 AM, steals your sleep schedule, and then politely whispers: “Bro… one more match.” And suddenly it’s sunrise, your spine has fused with the chair, and you’re screaming at invisible tanks like a caffeinated war goblin. First of all — this game is UNIQUE. Not fake-unique like every modern AAA game going: “We added crafting and a skill tree, please clap.” No no no. This thing is its own glorious tactical mutant creature. I’ve played over 50 RTS games in the last 5 years — yes, I touch grass occasionally, thank you — and R.U.S.E. bulldozed its way straight into my top 10 like a drunken French tank driver yelling “HON HON STRATEGY!” You know what this game DOESN’T do? It DOESN’T force you to click your mouse 9000 times per second like you’re trying to resuscitate a dying squirrel with caffeine. Unlike certain “professional sweat simulator” RTS games — looking at you StarCraft II — R.U.S.E. actually lets your BRAIN win fights instead of your wrist tendons. You can THINK. You can PLAN. You can bait enemies into traps like an evil tactical raccoon. The pacing is BEAUTIFUL. Not slow enough to become a retirement home simulator, not fast enough to induce cardiac arrest. You actually have time to react instead of panic-clicking like your keyboard owes money to the mafia. And the strategy depth? SWEET MERCIFUL EXPLODING LANDMINES. Different factions. Different units. Different ruses. Every battle feels like a giant psychological slap fight between military masterminds and sleep-deprived goblins. One minute you’re setting up a brilliant ambush. The next minute the enemy realizes your “massive tank army” was basically inflatable Walmart balloons with cannons painted on them. Absolute cinema. And let’s talk skirmish mode against the AI — AKA: “Oops, there goes your entire weekend.” THIS is where the game becomes digital crack for strategy fans. Unlimited replayability. Endless tactical experimentation. Higher difficulties actually fight back instead of behaving like confused potatoes wearing helmets. But the best part? This game welcomes newcomers without punching them in the kidneys. If you’ve never played strategy games before, R.U.S.E. is practically standing at the door like: “Come in, my child. Let us commit tactical warfare together.” It teaches problem-solving, planning, deception, prediction — all the big-brain stuff — while still being insanely satisfying when your master plan finally works and the enemy army gets vaporized harder than my emotional stability. Final verdict? ⭐ 1000/10 tactical brain explosions ⭐ R.U.S.E. isn’t just a strategy game. It’s chess on military-grade steroids wrapped in glorious deception and fueled by pure “JUST ONE MORE MATCH” energy. Now excuse me while I fake an entire army movement and psychologically destroy an AI general from 2010.

ITS BACK. NO WAY!!! a game that to this day hasnt been replaced and finally i can play with the DLC not on the Xbox 360 lol.

Had it on Steam for years now, I think I purchased it on Amazon.com back then, it gave me a key for Steam. That was when it was not buyable on Steam anymore but then later Amazon also stopped selling it. Anyway, now it is back on Steam so people will be able to buy it again, No thanks to Ubisoft, they're the ones who delisted the game but Eugen Systems got it back on Steam as of 2026. Anyway, R.U.S.E. is a great game, haven't played it much but it's on my "to play" list, this and World in Conflict are great games that any RTS fans should play at least once. 8/10 - Great to see it back! Moddding tools, a level editor and Steam workshop would be great additions to the game.

This game is one of the most simple yet complex strategy game there is on the market. This game has depth with every faction being different in very important ways. You can spam cheap units with the USSR but if you play Germany you have weak early games units compared to like France but if you upgrade you may have the best units in the game however the cost it’s high compared to other factions. That’s just a basic example of the games depth and the ai is actually pretty fun to play against. I will do 1v2 1v3 most of the time if I pick this game up randomly (I played this on 360 for a very long time) however for the price just wait on it. It’s a great great game with depth and simple to learn systems that make this game enjoyable however this game came out in 2010 and 30$ is a lot of money for a game that old but if you really want it you’ll get 30 hours of gameplay easily from this game no problem. This game is what I compare every single strategy game to and all of them fall short of what this game did back in 2010

Bravo à Eugen Systems d’avoir repris R.U.S.E. après son abandon par Ubisoft (encore une licence tué par ubi...). Pour moi, R.U.S.E. est tout simplement l’un des meilleurs jeux de stratégie jamais créés. Son gameplay est novateur pour l'époque : bluff, blitz, aviation, artillerie, anti-char… les possibilités stratégiques sont énormes et chaque partie est différente. Les graphismes restent efficaces, l’ambiance sonore est excellente, C’est LE classique du RTS. Son abandon a été un véritable gâchis, RUSE > STEEL DIVISION 1 > WARNO

ты так же прекрасна как и в тот день когда исчезла
