RUSE is back

[Jarhead0331]

Eugen's first game and the precursor to the Wargame series has returned to Steam. This is a "definitive edition" that includes all DLCs.

Awesome! I really liked that preliminary design back on the PS3, but the controls were naturally kind of bleh, so I'll appreciate it better here!

Edited to add: hilariously overproduced 'strategy gamers in I dunno prison-hell??1?' video for the Steam page! Did they use that back in its original release?? Note to the David Tennant looking guy: if your opponent starts shelling your troop landers and rolls up Nazi tanks onto the beach, shoving a few more in is NOT the correct move. Not even if they're filled with dummies and you're trying to sucker the tanks onto the beach where your navy and air force can wipe them out. (um, spoiler. Unlike the historical invasion which kept its dummies back in England to draw attention to Calais. Also spoilers.)

Having played that part of the campaign in R.U.S.E. several times, I am at least 70% sure this was not an available strategy by the way.

I still have it. Great game.

Pretty sweet.  I had the original release on Steam, but was bummed I never had a chance to get the dlc before it was pulled.  The definitive edition is showing as "in library", so it looks like I get the dlc for free.  That's a nice way to re-release a game.
