R.U.S.E. is a unique real-time strategy game that lets the player control the battle from multiple interconnected levels—from a full battlefield overview to an up-close tactical view.

Thanks to different camera perspectives and the use of so-called R.U.S.E. cards, players can outmanoeuvre opponents and deceive enemies to drive their faction to victory.

This gameplay video gives a first look at a mission from the single-player campaign.

Players are immersed in the action through the exclusive IRISZOOM engine. IRISZOOM provides an intuitive interface and smooth transitions from top-down perspective right into the chaos of battle.

Successful deception tactics in the video—such as the “Silence” card—are a key path to victory.
