Redcon is a 2016 strategy video game for Windows and mobile devices developed by Hexage. In this world the Great War stretched on for centuries until the world was conquered by a dictatorship simply called the Empire State, led by Fuhrer Adler Grimm, which continues the war against a rebel nation named Krux, the last nation resisting unification, led by the Traitor General and former mentor to the player, Franz Erhard Kranz.

With technological advancement rendering small-arms combat non-existent, and environmental destruction making most forms of air travel impossible, war revolves around long-range artillery battles fought out of gigantic fortresses. You play as a Strike Commander, whose guns are spearheading an artillery assault into Krux territory which may end the war once and for all.

The gameplay is similar to ''VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight''. You build an control a series of progressively-larger battle fortresses, the goal being to destroy the enemy's fortress before they can blow up yours. You assign targets to specific weapons (which can range from artillery cannons of various sizes to energy weapons and atomic bombs) while balancing ammo, power and manpower to keep your fortress functioning. Your systems are all automated but almost universally receive a buff if manned - and are unable to repair themselves or defend against enemy paratroopers - and juggling your little soldiers around for maximum efficiency serves as the core mechanic. Winning battles provides you with money that can be used to upgrade your systems and buy even bigger and badder guns.

* {{EMPs}}: There are a few EMP weapons, most notoriously the plasma launchers which drain the power to any systems they hit and can’t be stopped by conventional defense guns; TheComputerIsACheatingBastard so they never have any trouble powering three or four of these things even without any engines and shutting down your entire base, or keeping their own lights on if you try running one yourself. If not being able to shoot your guns in an artillery game is too much breath-taking action for you, they also stun your troops so you can’t move your soldiers either.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Since the AI can have whatever base power and ammo is required to run its fortress without issue, the main purpose of enemies running Nuclear Power Plants is to give the player a target that will take half the fortress down with it.


Added DiffLines:

* SlapOnTheWristNuke: The Tactical Nuke is the most powerful weapon in the game… but it still only takes out the target and adjacent rooms as opposed to blowing your base to smithereens like you might expect. One mission with a pre-set fort is actually impossible to beat without eating a nuke (you have one nuke and the enemy has three - you have to destroy one with your conventional weaponry and another with your nuke, but stopping all three is impossible). Granted most of the time it’s so damaging that the battle is all but finished if one lands.

If you’re getting annoyed by flak cannons, just point your mortars at some uncovered corner and the whole thing will go up in flames eventually.

** ICBMs have it even worse. They launch even slower than the Capital Destroyer with nearly identical results, are far less sturdy on top of always being exposed (you can at least hide the Capital Destroyer from mortars), and if you do manage to get a missile off it’s helpless against autocannon defense turrets and will blow up ''your'' base if the enemy scrambles it. The exception is the troop transport missile since it isn’t prioritized by the AI as much as the others.
