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.
Seconding the recommendation for Ostalgie. Haven't figured out Mao's legacy yet though. If needed, I could give a rough guide to the GDR to stay fully Communist and to save socialism.
Got it after posting, played it all night. So much more fun than crisis. and yup GDR for my first go. Felt much more like I was actually playing the game
Glad you enjoyed it! Need to figure out nation's other than the GDR and Afghanistan, but it's pretty damn fun.
