What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to engage with our community and gather valuable feedback during the development process. This input will help us refine gameplay, fix bugs, and implement features that our players truly want. By involving our community early, we can ensure Ratten Reich evolves into the best game it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Ratten Reich will remain in Early Access for approximately 12 to 15 months. This timeline allows us to incorporate player feedback and develop additional content while ensuring a high-quality experience.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the full version of Ratten Reich, we are planning to add 3 new campaign levels, providing more missions and challenges. We would like to introduce vehicle & vehicles customization, allowing players to alter appearance, performance, and armaments. We aim to include upgradable units system, adding progression and strategy to the game. Additionally, we plan to refine the user experience based on community feedback, improving the interface, controls, and balance.

Moreover, we would like to to add new unit classes such as Sniper, Engineer, Grenadier, and Flamethrowers. The shop functionality is expected to expand to offer more upgrades for infantry and vehicles.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of Ratten Reich includes multiple campaign levels that offer multiple hours of gameplay and a deep dive into the story. Specifically, there are 3 campaign levels available for 3 different factions, providing varied experiences and challenges. The game features multiple unit classes, including Rifleman, Assaulter, Heavy Machine Gunner, Medic, and Aviation Navigator, each with unique roles and abilities.

Key gameplay mechanics are fully functional, including combat, resource management, destruction and dismemberment systems, and tactical combat mechanics. The units management system allows for detailed control and strategic planning, while the debuff system adds complexity to combat scenarios. The unit shop and game economy are operational, enabling players to manage resources effectively.

Additionally, stationary artillery is partially implemented; while currently lacking the ability to move or change ammunition types, it still adds strategic depth to the game. Post-battle game statistics provide players with detailed feedback on their performance, helping to refine strategies and improve gameplay.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There is a chance that we might increase the price as we add new content and features. It will depend on the scope and how much of new things will be added to the game in the span of 12-15 month beyond of what we are planning. Early Access supporters will benefit from a lower initial price, reflecting their contribution to the game's development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to actively involve the community through regular updates, discord communication, feedback forms and social media channels. Players will be encouraged to provide feedback, report bugs, and share their ideas for new features. Regular developer blogs and Q&A sessions will keep the community informed and engaged throughout the development process.”

About This Game

About This Game

In a fictional world torn apart by constant warfare, societies of rats, mice, cockroaches, and lizards relentlessly pursue the interests of their nations. As these ambitions clash, one battlefield sees the end of all hope for peace. Advances in steam and diesel engines have given birth to merciless weapons of destruction, plunging the world into an era of unprecedented technological brutality.

Theaters of War



This war spans three distinct continents, each offering unique and challenging combat environments, but among them all are charred corpses, bomb craters, and the scars of incessant fighting.

The Central Continent boasts swampy terrain and trench-ridden ground, making troop movement difficult and creating tactical challenges. The Eastern Continent is fortified with military bases, creating serious obstacles to any assault. The desert continent is famous for its sandstorms and dunes, which obscure visibility and complicate combat.
Most buildings are destructible, allowing for a variety of tactical approaches when assaulting enemy positions and forcing players to strategically think through cover options.



Each faction boasts an exclusive infantry arsenal, interesting models, and elaborate designs. You will be able to play missions for the famous RR (rats), FMR (mice), ERS (lizards), and RD (monitor lizards).

Unit cards contain important information, allowing you to accurately and effectively control them on the battlefield.

The game has elements of dismemberment and blood.



The game is in early access and will be improved until it becomes something that can be remembered for a long time. We ask you to take a look at our Roadmap and not to overestimate the expectations of our small indie game. We hope that together with you and your help, we can make a great game!
