Ratten Reich is an RTS focusing on realistic combat in a unique, steampunk/dieselpunk world ripped apart by an ongoing war between rats, mice, cockroaches, and lizards.

Players will have to storm the City of the Republic. Republic City is an anthill that is full of fortifications and traps. The player will have to fight fierce battles for every street with huge - yet unavoidable - losses among their squad. The assault will have to be carried out by a large number of infantry and a small number of specific vehicles. This organization is necessary due to the narrow streets and anti-tank hedgehogs that will interfere with the free movement of the heavy tanks around the city.
The urban area will be a double edged sword for the player. The player will be able to use an abundant number of streets for tactical maneuvers with the aim of infiltrating behind enemy lines. However, this will make them susceptible to ambushes organized by the enemy. A huge number of city buildings can act as convenient shelters for defense, as well as a heavy bunker used to gather forces or to strengthen a rally point for assault.

Screensaver art for the mission, Katon.
This artwork depicts a massive offensive led by the Rat Empire corps which was sent to aid the Rising Sun Empire who are assaulting the dense jungles of the Red Dragon Empire. The player will feel all the hardships of the war in the jungle: the lack of heavy equipment, a huge number of ambushes, clever traps, and supply problems. The main offensive on this front is carried out by the poorly trained but numerous forces of the Empire of the Rising Sun and by the elite units of the infantry corps of the Rat Empire.
For better or worse, the army of the Red Dragon Empire hasn’t gone too far and the troops aren’t better than an average conscript. Sadly, the excellent defensive positions will be a trump card in their hands. Will it matter that some of the soldiers were given a rifle for the first time? You will decide.
“Snake’s tail” mission loading screen background.
Prepare for the defense of the FMR colonial lands located in the Desert Continent. Your objective is to slow down the Rats’ mass offensive by any means possible. However, the onslaught of artillery and the pride of Rat engineering, doesn’t leave much of a chance for survival.

“Defense of Fortress 91, Sector 4” mission loading screen background.
The colonial troops of the Rat Empire are actively attacking the desert front. In turn, although the FMR lost some of its territory, it managed to prepare excellent defensive positions. The player will find themselves in conditions of a severe shortage of manpower and resources, but will have excellent and impenetrable fortifications. This will provide a huge advantage in defense. The main strategy for this mission will be to bleed the enemy of its manpower - since they will relentlessly launch massive attacks - then switch to a counterattack on the weakened positions of the enemy.

Kugelpanzer tank.
The Rats combat mini-tank designed for cheap and massive assaults on fortified enemy positions. When the issue of effectively managing a lightning breakthrough grew to an Empire-wide scale, Kufin’s factories received an order for 4,500 vehicles to, in turn, implement one into each available unit. This abomination was used extensively in the war on the Western Front which led to an easy victory over Mice at the beginning of the war. Cheap and cheerful. This is the only way to win.

Game ready model of a soldier from the Colonial Army of Rats.
These brave fighters were sent by the millions to the other side of the world to control and capture new colonies in the name of the Rat Empire. After a logistical disaster, they were still able to effectively carry out orders from the mainland for over 2 years, after which they took up defense. They were the main threat to their rivals on the desert front.

Rising Sun Empire Grenade Launcher - Ichigo.
An effective weapon for war that has high explosive and incendiary ammunition. Proven to be useful on more than one occasion in battles for the eastern front and in the jungles of the Red Dragon. Used by the Rat Army in the Desert Continent and the Central Continent, the multiple charges of this weapon are loved by fighters as they can fire away with full disregard for safety. Sadly, recharging the weapon takes a lot of time. The shooter must load blank cartridges and, only then, can the shells themselves be placed. When fired, the cartridge detonates and the gasses push out the live projectile. Due to the small caliber of the cartridge (which pushes a rather heavy projectile), the weapon has a short range.

A prop for urban and rural areas of the Central Continent. Favorite Mouse “Tool” for agriculture.

Props for a train and the railroad itself, equipped with transport and fuel composition of the Rats.
The most common symbol of the war and civil life of the Empire. It is this miracle of engineering that delivers soldiers, ammunition, weapons, and provisions to the front. These Trains can be seen anywhere the Rats go and their flags flutter above all.
