Feature: Hands-on with R.U.S.E. multiplayer beta
Filed under: Features, Hands-on, Multiplayer, RTS
Today, developer Eugen Systems and publisher Ubisoft plan to launch the closed beta test for their upcoming and rather unique real time strategy game R.U.S.E. However, Big Download got an early chance to play the beta build this weekend. Press folks got to play some 1v1 matches against the gamers who attended the latest Dreamhack LAN event in Sweden, who also got early access to the beta test build
If you have read our previous articles about R.U.S.E., then you know it’s basic premise; it’s a real-time strategy game that uses a World War II setting. Now before you run away screaming about yet another WWII RTS game, you should know that it takes some different design tracks right off the bat. Instead of a typical “fog of war” you can technically see what the enemy is doing in matches to a limited degree and vise verse. The catch? You and your opponent can use various R.U.S.E. abilities to conceal your activities, build dummy units or buildings and basically make your enemy think twice about attacking your positions.
