6 itemsAbout the Game
The long-awaited sequel to the hit flash game RECON brings the ultimate patrolling experience to a criminally underserved crowd of LRRP enthusiasts.
Recondo is a top-down strategy and tactics game that revolves around managing and deploying a unit of Rangers in daring missions behind enemy lines to observe, kill, or capture the elusive enemy.
True to its roots, Recondo offers a hardcore experience with an unmatched level of agency over your squad and missions. It focuses on realistic patrolling, tracking mechanics, and tense combat on the Ho Chi Minh trail during the Vietnam War. Choose to go heavy or light, loud or stealthy in a procedurally generated jungle filled with clever enemies, hidden traps, and juicy intel. Enjoy full autonomy in how you equip, train, and deploy your Rangers.
Recondo also features our unique and realistic take on military politics and bureaucracy, with the memo system expanded based on veterans' input and historical data, providing an often overlooked insight into the power dynamics at play within the chain of command.
**Quick Overview:**
- Patrol a large open world, four times bigger than the original.
- Actively engage in stealth by spotting crushed vegetation, footsteps, and other environmental clues.
- Equip your Rangers with a vast array of weaponry and specialized equipment.
- Call in support using realistic radio procedures and guide your own fire missions.
- Face an enemy that schemes, ambushes, maneuvers, retreats, and reorganizes to kill you in the most unceremonious way possible.
- Collect intel and use it to strike at the enemy where it hurts the most.
- Navigate military politics and bureaucracy with our unique memo system while managing a squad.
- Experience 15 different types of LRRP missions derived from historical accounts and reports.
- Enjoy the beloved Mud and Blood combat experience with its chaos, heroism, and crushing losses.
