Gameplay
Moscow to Berlin: Red Siege is a real time strategy game, but does not fall into that one size fits all category. Since players take on the role of German and Russian commanders, they have a well established force, therefore they require no pre-battle preparations. The player is put directly out onto the battlefield with their allotted troops and information. Missions are clear cut and goals are set from the beginning. Players will be forced to use their assets wisely as they work their way across the battlefields of the Eastern Front. New units and abilities create a tangible feel that makes players the spearhead of these engagements!
