It’s all fun and games until the Allies bring out the Cryocopters. The Allied Nations predominant strength lies in its air units. And we haven’t even talked of aircraft yet. Having to keep an extra eye on naval units means that players have to keep their forces balanced to be able to engage the enemy on any terrain. Players can build almost anything offshore, giving them the possibility of constructing a predominately maritime stronghold. Unlike many other RTS games, naval combat is just as important as the battles on land in Red Alert 3. In a world without the atom bomb, protons and electricity are the ultimate tools of destruction, and there’s also more focus on naval warfare than before.
Thanks to such a quirky backstory, Red Alert 3 features some outlandish and technologically impressive units for players to control.
