PS2 Ring Of RED

[Guel Jeturk]

Ring of Red is an alternate history turn-based strategy video game released by Konami for the PS2, it was one of the first games made with CD-ROM-based technology.

Based on an alternate history theory that after the defeat of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy near the end of World War II, Japan was conquered and occupied by both Soviet and American forces - rather than solely by the US. Occupation created two countries, consisting of the north governed by a pro-communist government and the south by a pro-democracy government.

This game is for strong stomachs and the patience of a Demi-God.

Combat is split between a turn-based battlefield for moving units, and a real-time mode for combat. The latter includes the AFWs moving through their attack patterns and support troops that have their own abilities.

But when you complete a mission you feel like a million dollars.

Sounds somewhat like Valkyria Chronicles. Thanks for the recommendation.

I saw "ring of red" and immediately thought "Xbox."

I never played this, but I knew a guy who owned a local game shop who marked out about this game a lot. Thanks for reminding me of it, I might give it a shot.

This is one of those games that looks so in my lane and I really want to like, but that I also recall wanting to throw my controller through the screen while playing. I'll give it another try sometime. Or just stare at the screens and imagine that it's the amazing game I was expecting...Maybe I should have never played it and let it remain a fantasy in my head, haha.
