One of the best games I’ve ever played. – REDCON Review

This game is a fun yet challenging mix of point-and-click, strategy, and it requires a lot of complex thinking to complete the later levels. The customizability is absolutely amazing, and the gameplay is rich in story and challenge. I can proudly say I’ve spent over 6 hours just to beat the campaign. As with all Hexage games, it has a free intro with quite a few levels, and you can buy the full game. I would suggest REDCON II, which is about $5, and is a great purchase. Many people complain about the levels being too hard, so I’ll give you some tips: You can see the enemy fortress’s ammo and power. If they have +1 or +0 power, it is wise to use the Orion or Hyperion emp blasters to stop their stronger weapons while your cannons (or missiles, lasers, snipers, etc.) take them out. As for low ammo, if the enemy fortress has a ammo factory, target it to lower your enemy’s rate of fire even further. Secondly, reminder that waiting units are wasted units. That soldier just lying around in a perfectly fine armory? Wasted. Assign them to a weapon to increase accuracy or fire rate. Third, you should take note if the enemy has a particularly dangerous setup. That Signal Scramber, Kinetic Field, or Active Defense Control could ruin your plans. It is important to think of counterattacks. You can always quickly restart and think of a new plan or edit your base setup for no cost at all. Multiple Bullets will overrun a kinetic shield easily. I suggest doubleshot Basilisk cannons, or 2-4 Hydra cannons. It’s ok to have a destroyed weapon. If you assign a soldier or two to it, they will repair the weapon for you. NEVER, EVER fire a nuke, chemical nuke, or missiles if the enemy has a scramber signal which is fully charged. If the scrambler is not charged, go ahead! Remember that you can pause by touching the middle of the screen and speed it up by swiping right. Active Defense, Clandestine Operations, Nukes, and Nuclear Reactors are high priority targets. Remember that you have multiple kinds of ammo! You can use flash bangs in coordination with your Shredder Bombs or Neurotoxins to easily kill that enemy soldier who won’t stop repairing that typhon heavy cannon. Remember to buy upgrades! (only applies on regular mode) I would suggest playing on easy if you’re new. It doesn’t change all that much, but on regular you need to keep budget planning in mind. Have fun! This is probably one of the best mobile games on the App Store. Thanks Hexage!
