R.U.S.E., the ultimate strategic experience, has returned to Steam (PC, Steam Deck) with its relaunch today. At Eugen Systems, we are thrilled to bring R.U.S.E. to a new generation of players and welcome back old veterans of our evergreen popular World War II RTS. To this day, it holds a unique position in the genre for favoring deception, strategy, and tactical wit.
While we developed and launched R.U.S.E. in 2010, the game didn’t officially belong to us. Sidelined due to distribution constraints, we could do nothing in the subsequent years to help the players who contacted us for assistance or tried to obtain the game. Recently, we received the opportunity to return R.U.S.E. to our catalog. This allowed us to re-release this pillar of the RTS genre, with some added extras!
Players who previously purchased R.U.S.E. on Steam before it was delisted will keep full access to the title, including all technical updates and all DLCs at no additional cost.
We are also proud to confirm that R.U.S.E. is now fully compatible with Steam Deck. 
As a reminder, R.U.S.E. in a few words:
- Play Anywhere + All DLCs included: this version is fully compatible with the Steam Deck and includes all DLCs released to date for free.
- Strategy Over Speed: Forget "click-racing." Success in R.U.S.E. comes from strategy, initiative, unit mastery, and a general’s ability to bluff and deceive their opponents.
- Complete RTS Gameplay: Experience classic RTS mechanics, including resource management, base building, tech trees, and unit production.
- WWII Authenticity: Command the major powers to battle - USA, Germany, UK, France, Italy, USSR, and Japan. Each faction features historically accurate equipment and late-war prototypes.
- Epic Campaign: Fight through the iconic operations of WWII in a riveting single-player story campaign, from the deserts of North Africa to the heart of the Third Reich.
- Diverse Game Modes: A mode for every playstyle, from Ranked matches, co-op, Free-for-All, or skirmishes against AI.
- Strategic Challenges: A player’s wits are tested in 30 "Challenge" missions - unique tactical puzzles designed to push a general’s thinking to the limit.
