Description
"Homefront is certainly one of the most unique shooters I've ever played, driven by an ingenious and surprisingly well-fleshed out plot and a dark and dreary, realistic setting" - IGN
"...Homefront is easily one of the most immersive and emotional campaigns that come to mind in my 30 years of gaming." - Game Chronicles
Crush the Bolshevik hydra or paint Mother Russia red!
Revolution Under Siege is a simultaneous turn based historical wargame that puts you in charge of one of the factions that fought the Russian Civil War (1917-1923). From a ragtag group of volunteers create the powerful Red Army, using all the weaponry and equipment at your disposal: planes, tanks, armored trains, Cheka troops and the Konarmia (the famous Red Cavalry). Or, on the opposite side, gather all patriots and reform the elite divisions that shall save Holy Mother Russia.
Can you succeed in crushing the Bolshevik hydra? Or will the people’s Revolution prevail? Several sides are playable: Trotsky’s Red Army, Denikin’s white counterrevolutionary forces of Southern Russia, Kolchak’s Siberians, Finnish from both sides, or the newly independent Polish troops led by Marshal Piłsudski.

May not be worth it
hotmando1 | July 20, 2011 | See all hotmando1's reviews »For thirty dollars, you can get a lot of higher quality strategic games. Well..as the name implies: it's a civil war within Russia. Pick a side, it doesn't really matter: it just advances the "plot" or history. Visually speaking, it could be better. It looks almost polished but not quite. It is not visually stunning to say the least and there are better world maps than this. However, the core focus of the game is in the gameplay. The ai is one of the best I've seen. Your going to need to use your wits to survive. Some pet peeves in this game can be the load times...the turn times.. etc. Sometimes you'll get into a battle without knowing too. If you feel like your Russian history is lacking, I suggest getting this game. But for thirty dollars..maybe less.

Best of its kind
keeveek | April 5, 2011 | See all keeveek's reviews »Do you know AGEOD games? If not, it's the best time to get to know them. Revolution Under Siege is the most complete piece of art ever created by this company. Player can choose several sides, like Whites or Reds to play through the most violent revolution in history. Revolution that eventually created USSR. Graphics looks good - well drawn map and beautiful pictures of leaders and units for me look better than 3D models in other games. In this particular game, player needs to be a very good tactician - AI is brilliant and far more complex than in any AAA titles these days - and it's the mayor advantage of this game. Turns are counted rather slow because of that (2-3 mins of waiting can be pain in the ass) but it's worth it if youre a demanding strategist.
