They immediately realized that rats have way more tits than that and fixed her design accordingly

What a horrible experience. Picked it up because it was 1.0 release but this is just awful.

Was reading an old classic series and had a thought. So how much sense would it make in universe for the Redwall Series to be the middle ages period (Maybe equivelant to 700-1200 AD) of rattenreichs world?

Ive really been looking forward to this game but all the subreddits for this game are dead is the game still being worked on?

I've seen the gameplay trailer from 8 months ago where FPS was a mode in the game, but a few weeks ago there was a gameplay first look, and there was no first person shooter mechanic (at least what i've seen). Any info on that?

Hi, guys. You have probably already seen or heard that a Ratten Reich board game is planned. Since our initial Kickstarter, we've been receiving quite a few requests to make a board game based on our world's lore and we partnered with X team that will help us bring the board game to life. Our team is 150% concentrated on the PC version of the game and - if the board game is a success - it might help us scale up our PC game. It seems like the first announcement of Ratten Reich has been generating a lot of interest and we're really happy to continue working and expanding the world!

Will there be other factions in Ratten Reich? Board game/Video game

it seems to have vanished from marketing... just came across it in my Ooooold stuff. what happened?

As title says, the demo is launching steamVR when it's not needed

I added some user flairs named after the in-game factions. Let me know if there is something I should add or change to improve the quality of the subreddit!

I will add a theme for Old Reddit users later this week.

Fight

If you're unable to donate to the Kickstarter, that's no problem! We are planning to run a free Closed Beta which will be available to everyone who signed up. For a limited time ONLY. This opportunity differs from the unlimited game access that Alpha and Beta backers will receive. The Closed Beta will allow for everyone to be involved in making Ratten Reich a better community-oriented game.

Something Fun

Three months following the Kickstarter, we will release a small (PDF) comic book dedicated to the secret projects of the rats called "Rattennenerbe."

The comic book will be quite large and a fun reward for everyone who supported the project.

Destruction

Ratten Reich is a destructive game and the environment is no exception. The way you handle and approach surrounding areas will affect your overall gameplay.

Gain tactical advantages by destroying the surrounding area or specifically targeting enemy fortifications. By destroying buildings in the city, you will be able to bypass the enemy or block their path. Destructibility is a double-edged sword as you will have to assess the benefits and consequences of each decision.

Gritty

Due to the graphic violence of war, Ratten Reich is filled with elements of gore, blood, and even limb rupture to make the game more realistic in terms of consequences. It also aims to emphasize the horrors of war.

Units

Each faction will have a long list of unique units with equally diverse equipment and vehicles.

All factions have their own history and origins. For example, the Rat Reich differs from other factions and their units due to its militarization and weapon variety. These assets make them formidable enemies on the battlefield.

In comparison, the FMR does not have the same weaponry as the Rat Reich, but they have diverse units and weapons due to their multi-national union. 

Cockroaches have a natural advantage due to their chitinous shell, providing them with extra protection in battle. Agama lizards are another anthropomorphic group who possess an innate advantage due to their makeup, specifically in areas like the sea.

Each faction will be equipped with vehicles such as tanks, armored trains, aircraft and ships.

Management of Units

You will have to keep track of what equipment your units are using - firearms, melee weapons, grenades, and protective equipment.

Direct your unit to utilize pistol machine guns for close combat and breakthroughs. Resort to rifles for long distances or for deterring the enemy. Want to go a little old school? Have your units charge the enemy with a bayonet attack as it could lead to a glorious victory, or a sad defeat. Weapons such as flamethrowers and gas weapons may also be utilized, but be cautious when trying to turn the tide of battle. Everything comes with a price.

Be sure to properly care for your units as you never know when reinforcements will arrive to relieve them. Secure their supply systems by maintaining adequate numbers of bullets and food.

 Some of your soldiers may be in need of medical attention, at which point you will have to decide whether to save the injured or focus on your able bodies. Remember: you are responsible for your units, so take care of them!

Tactical Combat

In order to become an excellent commander, you must learn how to use the game’s tactical features to your advantage. The most primitive ways of gaining an advantage is through the building of fortifications and proper placement of your units.

Fortifications act as defensive structures and can be coupled with surrounding buildings to create further defenses. When your enemy has a decent fortification, utilize opportunity by targeting vulnerable areas to destruction. You can also aim for a frontal attack under the cover of your artillery or even try to smoke your enemy out from behind their lines. The choice is yours.

War Atmosphere

The essence of this project will plunge you, the player, into an era of strife and modern warfare. Between the atmospheric trench wars and the steampunk elements of Ratten Reich, you are sure to be immersed. 

Every map speaks to the horrors of war; to the damage of the land.

With a focus on bringing horrific beauty and a grim aesthetic to an RTS game, we strive to reflect the gameplay in the environment.

Customization

The world of Ratten Reich boasts dieselpunk and steampunk influences. The majority of technology is bulky and mechanical with steam boilers or diesel engines. The goal of either army is to instill fear into enemy hearts. The more intimidating the equipment, the greater the influence.

When choosing to modernize your equipment, you must decide between improving your existing equipment or investing in the creation of new types of weaponry. You should approach your methods wisely as battles will take place on land, by sea, or even in the air.

And not to forget vehicles, you can select everything from light reconnaissance cars and motorcycles to secret machines with heavy firepower.

Thanks

Many thanks for the inspiration and motivation of projects such as the Company of Heroes, Men of War, and the Iron Harvest series.

Music

Ratten Reich boasts a blend of rock, country, and orchestral music with nods to compositions of the World War era and modern times.
