Varangs Studio is now recruiting players for the closed beta test of our real-time tactics game “Red Recon: 1944”!

“The core development of the game is nearly complete, but there is still plenty of work ahead — improvements, polishing, bug fixes, and fine-tuning. We want our future players to share their honest feedback on the current gameplay and help us shape the final version of Red Recon. We’re happy to announce that registration for the closed beta is now open!”

During the test, selected participants will have a chance to communicate directly with the development team and share their thoughts with us.

Active testers will be credited in the final game. 20 participants will receive Steam keys for the expanded release version, while the two most helpful testers will receive exclusive Red Recon merchandise!
