About This Demo

Red Glare: The Reckoning — Demo

The war is over. But the hunt has just begun.

It is 1946. The Third Reich has fallen, but its architects are still at large. High-ranking Nazi officers, scientists, and collaborators have vanished into the shadows, escaping justice with the help of false papers, foreign agents, and sympathetic governments.

You are part of an elite Allied squad, reactivated under clandestine orders. Track fugitives across the globe, from the ruins of Berlin to scorching deserts, frozen snowfields, and dense jungles.

KEY FEATURES

Fritz the Dog

Your new four-legged commando can automatically handle dead bodies, distract enemies during tactical pause, and retrieve thrown knives, cigarettes, toys, meat, and closed traps.

Fritz cannot be detected by normal enemies and can only be spotted by enemy dogs.

Two New Enemy Types

Drunk
Wanders randomly instead of following standard patrol routes. His close-range vision is shorter than a normal guard, while his long-range vision remains unchanged, creating unpredictable encounters.

Inspector
Dynamically changes the patrol routes and positions of nearby enemies, including guards, strict guards, and snipers. Eliminate him before he turns the entire area against you.

Roguelike Mode

Earn XP through kills, with stealth kills rewarding more XP than loud kills. Fill your XP bar and choose one perk from three options.

Every perk provides an advantage and a disadvantage.

Earn up to 2 perks per mission and build a unique playstyle for every run.

Fog of War Mode

A new take on real-time tactics.

The map layout and objectives remain visible, but enemies and bushes are hidden until discovered. Send Fritz ahead to scout, uncover cover positions, and reveal enemy locations.

Last-known enemy positions are marked with red indicators, forcing you to constantly adapt.

Enhanced Dynamic Weather

An overhauled weather system brings missions to life.

Dynamic Day/Night Cycles

• Enemy view cones shrink after dark

• Footprints become invisible

• Rain can silence your weapons

• Flashlight patrols and snipers remain dangerous

Choose between fixed day, fixed night, or a dynamic day/night cycle.

Tactical Pause

Stop time, plan your moves, and coordinate multiple characters simultaneously.

Set up synchronized takedowns, distractions, movement, and attacks before executing your plan.

Advanced Enemy Detection

Enemies investigate blood trails left by knife and gunshot kills.

Use poison syringes and wire kills to eliminate targets without leaving blood trails.

One mistake can alert an entire camp.

7 Hand-Crafted Missions

Explore environments ranging from the ruins of Berlin to open deserts, frozen snowfields, and dense jungle rivers.

Missions feature 200+ enemies, tanks, dogs, snipers, and complex tactical encounters.

Major Performance Optimization

Significantly improved performance across all missions for a smoother and more responsive tactical experience.

Developed solo by a passionate fan of classic real-time tactics games, inspired by the golden era of the genre and built for players who love patience, planning, and the perfect takedown.

Red Glare: The Reckoning is a standalone real-time tactics game. No base game is required.

This is not just a new chapter. This is a reckoning.
