About the Game

Red Glare: The Reckoning

The war is over. But the hunt has just begun.

It is 1946. The Third Reich has fallen but its architects are still at large. High-ranking Nazi officers, scientists, and collaborators have vanished into the shadows, escaping justice with the help of false papers, foreign agents, and sympathetic governments.

You are part of an elite Allied squad, reactivated under clandestine orders. Your objective: track these fugitives across the globe, from the ruins of Berlin to the back alleys of Cairo, from Vatican sanctuaries to South American jungles. But as the operation unfolds, a darker truth emerges. Some of these war criminals aren’t just hiding, they’re being protected.

Behind the hunt lies a web of silence. Intelligence factions are recruiting ex-Nazis, bargaining secrets for science, and rewriting history for strategic gain. Loyalties will be tested. Allies will fall. And justice will blur into vengeance.

Red Glare: The Reckoning is a standalone game to the acclaimed WW2 real-time tactics game Red Glare. No base game required,  jump straight into a brand new story campaign across the most dangerous corners of the post-war world.

KEY FEATURES

  • New commando to the team, Fritz the dog.

He handles dead body management automatically so players can focus on tactics instead of cleanup can also be used in tactical pause to distract enemies. Can be ordered to retrieve thrown knife, cigarette, toy, meat and closed trap. Enemies can not detect Fritz. Can only be detected by enemy dogs. 

Two New Enemy Types

  • Drunk: Wanders randomly instead of following patrol routes. Has a shorter close-range view cone while retaining the same long-range vision as a normal guard, making encounters less predictable.

  • Inspector: Dynamically changes the patrol routes and positions of other enemies, including guards, strict guards, and snipers. Each playthrough becomes less predictable, making the Inspector a high-priority target.

    Rogue-Like Mode

  • Every run offers new challenges and new ways to test your skills. Earn XP through kills — stealth kills reward more XP than loud kills. Fill your XP bar and choose one perk from three options. Each perk comes with an advantage and a disadvantage. Earn up to 3 perks per mission and build your playstyle as you fight.

🌦 Enhanced Dynamic Weather System
Overhauled  weather brings missions to life like never before.

Dynamic Day/Night Cycles
Choose your approach — strike at dawn or vanish into the night. Enemy view cones shrink after dark, footprints become invisible, and rain silences your weapons. But beware, flashlight patrols and snipers never sleep. Adjustable in gameplay settings so you can play as fixed night or day or dynamic D/N cycle.

Tactical Pause Mode
Stop time, plan your moves, and coordinate multiple characters simultaneously. Execute perfect synchronized takedowns without breaking a sweat.

Advanced Enemy Detection
Enemies track blood trails left by knife and gunshot kills. Stay creative — poison syringes and wire kills leave no trace. One mistake and the whole camp knows you're there.


7 Hand-Crafted Missions
From the ruins of Berlin to scorching open deserts, frozen snowfields, and dense jungle rivers — each mission is a stealth playground packed with over 200 enemies, tanks, dogs, and snipers.

Major Performance Optimization
Significantly improved FPS across all missions for a smoother, more responsive experience.

Developed solo by a passionate fan of classic real-time tactics games — inspired by the golden era of the genre and built for players who love patience, planning, and the perfect takedown.

This is not just a new chapter. This is a reckoning.
