Dear Comrades, We've closely monitored the feedback from our Ratten Reich demo during the Steam Festival, and it's clear the experience fell short of expectations.

We would like to share with you some details about the level design in our game. Our goal is to create a unique and multifaceted world, where players can explore the forests and swamps of the Central Continent, the impassable jungles of the East, and the hot deserts of the South.

We would like to demonstrate shooting from a stationary machine gun in-game and its effectiveness.

Therefore, running into frontal attacks without covering equipment and artillery is very unpro…

Hello friends, Battles in the swamps are a never ending meat grinder in the mud. What was once a landscape at its prime is now nothing more than a suffocating wasteland of gas and ash.
