Steam reviews

What players say

Players overwhelmingly still love this classic RTS for its campaigns, units and soundtrack, though many want a proper remaster and some struggle with the old code.

Many players describe Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge as a timeless real-time strategy classic. They praise the unusual and unpredictable unit roster, especially the troll-like units of Yuri's Revenge, the cutscenes with live actors, the soundtrack and the campaigns, which many remember from childhood. Skirmish and online play against friends still draw players back after decades. Complaints centre on the old engine: the game often needs compatibility settings, mods or community launchers to run well on modern Windows and Linux, and resolution and graphics look dated. Some players also object to having to buy the expansion and the whole Command & Conquer bundle, and urge EA to release a remaster. Recent reviews are more mixed, with some reporting crashes and display problems, and a few stating that the campaign feels easier than remembered.

    Many players

    Some players

Criticised

  • Old engine and compatibility

    Players need compatibility settings, community patches or fixes to run the game properly on modern Windows or Linux.

    Many players

    Some players
  • Bundle pricing and missing remaster

    Players object to having to buy the whole Command & Conquer bundle and want a proper remaster instead of this release.

    Some players
  • Crashes and bugs

    Recent reviews report crashes, freezes and display glitches such as black screens or scrolling problems.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suited to fans of classic RTS games, nostalgic players who grew up with the series, and anyone curious about the genre's roots.
Who should skip it
Players who expect modern graphics and smooth out-of-the-box performance on current systems should skip it or be ready to fix compatibility issues.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours often focus on multiplayer and the expansion's unit design, while newer players mainly praise the campaigns and nostalgia.
