Coalition or Red Union

Two superpowers, two arsenals, two completely different ways to win. Every unit counters another, so the side you pick changes how you fight.

Twelve operations. One continent.

Two story campaigns sweep across a map of Europe: commando raids, desperate last stands, airborne assaults, psychic takeovers and all-out base battles. Every victory lights up the front line and opens the road to the next operation.

Frequently asked questions

What is Red Horizon: Cold War Command?

Red Horizon: Cold War Command is a free real-time strategy (RTS) game for Android phones and tablets. You build a base, harvest ore, train an army of infantry, tanks and aircraft, and fight an alternate-history Cold War as one of two factions: the high-tech Coalition or the Red Union.

Is Red Horizon free to play?

Yes. Both campaigns, every unit, every map and every AI difficulty are free. The game shows an occasional ad between battles, never during one.

Can I play Red Horizon offline?

Yes. The campaigns, skirmish battles and the Generals Challenge all work without an internet connection, and no account is needed. The internet is only used for ads, purchases and optional usage statistics.
