Redcon (video game)

Redcon is a real-time strategy video game developed by Hexage. It was initially released for iOS and Android mobile devices in 2015, followed by a Steam release for Windows and macOS in 2016.

The game is set in a fictional World War I-esque setting where two factions, the Empire State and the Republic, are locked in a prolonged and brutal conflict. Players take on the role of a Strike Commander leading the Empire State’s artillery batteries. The primary gameplay involves managing and commanding artillery batteries to bombard enemy fortifications and eventually destroy their command center.

Players can customize their batteries with various weapons, including cannons, lasers, and missiles. They can also upgrade their defenses and support systems, such as shield generators and repair drones. The game features a destructible environment, meaning that fortifications can be gradually damaged and destroyed by artillery fire.

Redcon is characterized by its distinctive art style, which utilizes a monochrome color palette with splashes of red to highlight explosions and damage. The game emphasizes strategic thinking and resource management, requiring players to carefully plan their attacks and prioritize targets. The game also includes a campaign mode with a branching narrative, as well as a skirmish mode for quick battles.
