I've seen recommendations around before, but not having much luck with the search function. So I've played Crisis in the Kremlin and while I can't seem to win, I do like the tone/era. I'm wondering if anyone has specific recommendations for any rts or tbs games with late cold war era USSR as playable? Could be modern or old PC like the original Crisis game was or Red Alert, thanks.
Been hoping to find things like this too. Haven't played it and it's still in development, but Workers and Resources is a soviet city building sim. The developers aren't terribly sympathetic though, last update was basically a solidarity with Ukraine update.
For Victoria II there's the Cold War Enhancement mod. Have to know Vic II to get anything out of it, and the developers are conservative or liberal, so also shit ideology. But you can win the cold war as the USSR, or play any communist country from 1946 on
Yeah some of the soviet-themed rpgs I've been interested in have also done "Ukraine-updates"
Victoria 2 is super tricky, though I did start to get a sense of it. How do mods work, steam doesnt have a workshop for vic 2
You just have to download the mod and put it in the mods folder.
This is the link to download the mentioned cold war mod.
The CWE mod is fucking crazy
I'm currently in 1979: After fighting two SIMULTANEOUS world wars to communize Europe, I ended up with three separate German communist states, and the rest of the continent is almost entire ruled or in the sphere of a giant Polish Commonwealth and a chunky Yugoslavia

Their wording was pretty explicitly a standing with ukranian people post and cast no judgement otherwise.
