Description

Radio Commander is a strategy game based on one crucial idea — the player uses only a radio to command their troops on the battlefield.

In Radio Commander, the player is not an invisible being hovering over the battlefield, but rather a real military commander who carries the heavy burden of coordinating military operations. It is a bold attempt to redefine the genre, as the player becomes involved in a decision-making process far more realistic than the one pictured by casual RTS titles.

The game is set during the Vietnam War and focused on a narrative-driven experience. The main campaign does not avoid the difficult issues of civilians trapped in the theatre of action, shady CIA operations and cynical political pressures.
