What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Flames in Modern Europe is a complex strategy game with very big ambitions and very low funding. It's being developed by one person, and I chose early access to involve players in the development process, get feedback, and gradually improve the game's mechanics, balance, and content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The duration of the Early Access is currently unknown. We plan to release the full version when the game is fully finished and meets our expectations. It is estimated that this could happen by April 2027, but the timeline may change depending on the development progress.”

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

“We plan to add a storyline and content unique to most European countries, as well as introduce new mechanics that will facilitate deeper interaction with the world. Our goals include improved character development, an updated combat system, and significant improvements to the visuals, including the interface, 3D graphics, textures, and map detail.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently quite playable and can offer an interesting experience, although there are still bugs and some mechanics are not implemented. For a detailed list of available features and content, please refer to the “About This” section.”

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

“Most likely, yes. The price of the game will increase after leaving the early access.”

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

“I, Volodymyr Marsenko, the game's developer, actively involve players in discussions and improvements. This applies to both the Steam Community and social networks, both personal and dedicated exclusively to the game, such as Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The game also has an in-game bug report feature that all players can use.”

About This Game

Flames in Modern Europe is a real-time global strategy with next-generation graphics that takes you to modern Europe, where every decision you make can change the course of history! Immerse yourself in the major events of our century - from political crises and economic shocks to the war in Ukraine, or create your own alternative history, with a civil war in Germany and the return of Bonapartism!

Build up the economy, develop your state and strengthen its influence. Conduct diplomatic negotiations, form alliances, simply buy historical territories or start wars with neighboring states. Make difficult decisions and rewrite the history of modern Europe.

As of autumn 2026, that is, on the second anniversary of the announcement, the game remains in active development and receives regular updates that add a lot of new content, such as new mechanics, storylines for different countries, expansion of existing ones, graphics improvements and numerous optimisations. Below you can read about what is available right now!

CORE MECHANICS

  • Courses: your storyline and plan for achieving greatness in Europe. Currently available for several major countries, including Ukraine, which has more than 500 courses from 2013 to 2025!

  • Mentality: change the traits of your people’s mentality to adapt them to your needs! Make them believe that dictatorship is cool, or that pacifism will save everyone!

  • Parliament: pass or repeal various laws, but don’t forget to secure the support of the relevant parties!

  • Decisions: make important decisions for your country that will help you fight corruption, improve stability and support, or even allow the sale of regions of your country.

  • Economy: build new structures that will work for the benefit of the state, such as

    • Offices that will bring new revenues to the state treasury

    • Factories to sell equipment from clothing to engines and supply your army!

    • Laboratories that will work on new technologies

    • Nuclear and other power plants, on which not only domestic consumers depend, but whose energy can also be sold to other states!

    • Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), which will fight corruption in your country!

    • And much more, from roads to spaceports!

  • Use the budget menu to edit spending and efficiency in various areas of the country, such as construction, research, army, administration and social spending. Hire additional construction companies to speed up construction! Use the debt menu to replenish the treasury, carry out numerous financial manoeuvres or simply declare default if necessary. And don’t forget about taxes!

  • Research: research new technologies that will help your country become the most progressive.

  • Army: create new brigades based on your own templates, or launch nuclear weapons that will leave permanent scars on the Earth...

AND ALSO

  • Diplomacy - has many possibilities, from electricity trade to alliances and even buying regions!

  • Wars between AI countries - depending on the level of aggressiveness, states controlled by artificial intelligence will attack each other, and may even attack the player if relations with them are below 10!

  • Parliamentary and Presidential elections, which take place in two rounds!

  • Dynamic regional population!

  • Stability, corruption, tax efficiency, human development index, economic boom, stagnation, mobilisation and various laws - all of this affects the situation in the country!
