From the creator of 'Plague Inc: Evolved' comes a unique and deeply engaging political/military strategic simulation.
In Rebel Inc: Escalation, the war is ‘over’ - but we all know that doesn't mean anything. In order to stabilise a war-torn country, you need to balance competing military and civilian priorities to win the hearts and minds of the people, whilst also stopping a deadly insurgency from seizing power!
Following on from the global mega hit 'Plague Inc.' with over 160 million players, Rebel Inc: Escalation offers a deeply engaging, strategic challenge inspired by the complexities and consequences of modern counter insurgency. It has received acclaim from international development experts and was even featured at a major international peace conference!
8 regions to stabilise - Deploy to wildly different strategic environments, including the gentle farms of ‘Saffron Fields’, or the impenetrable forests of ‘Distant Steppe’. Work to defend the ‘Azure Dam’ from the Insurgency, or develop unique new strategies to counter the drug trade in ‘Opium Fields’.
8 unique governors - Each one with radical new abilities to master. Choose the ‘Economist’ to receive an entire year’s income in one go or the ‘Warlord’ to train a personal militia. Field an army of heavy armour with the ‘Tank Commander’, or tap into the black-market with the ‘Smuggler’.
Hyper-realistic - Inspired by Afghanistan, the simulation is highly detailed, containing real world development initiatives and an innovative representation of counter insurgency tactics. It has been praised by the World Bank and was even featured at a major international peace conference.
Campaign Mode - Conduct large-scale operations across multiple regions. Carefully manage resources and choose unique upgrades in a persistent world with 150+ Player Tactics, Map Features and Insurgent Tactics to radically mix up gameplay!
Vs Multiplayer - Take control of the Insurgency to try and topple the government in your opponent’s Region, whilst trying to stabilise your own! Dynamically scaling difficulty ensures that players of different skill levels can have a good, challenging game.
Co-Op Multiplayer - Work together to simultaneously stabilise two separate Regions, sending soldiers and resources to your partner to achieve your goals. Or jump into a Co-Op Campaign of escalating difficulty.
Challenge Mode - Compete against the Steam Community on randomised Weekly Challenges, including an extra hard mode for the best of the best.
Custom Scenarios & Scenario Creator - Explore a world of fresh new ways to play with official and community created Scenarios, or develop your own share them with other players via Steam Workshop. Who said Nation Building was hard?
Advanced civilian and military AI - Sophisticated narrative algorithms model the needs of local populations, while deadly insurgent attacks put constant pressure on your operation.
Gorgeous Graphics - Stabilise a beautifully rendered 3D world that responds to your actions and thrives as you provide jobs and services. Drone cams and civilian TV channels bring your operation to life and show you what's happening on the ground.
Rebel Inc: Escalation builds on the original critically acclaimed gameplay of Rebel Inc. with multiple significant, all-new features, enhanced music, improved 3D graphics for PC/Mac, online multiplayer and steam workshop support.
An important note: Although a fictional game, Rebel Inc. looks at important real world issues and we have made every effort to deal with them sensitively. The game has been extensively researched and has been developed in cooperation with leading regional politicians, business people and journalists as well as international charities, experts and governments.

RNG = Strategy
Very unsatisfying to play. Victory seems to just randomly appear out of thin air. One second everybody hates you, then poof, they love you for some reason. Insurgents surge through units, appear at seemingly random locations. Reputation bleeds significantly for the most inconsistent reasons.
Would not recommend.

Very unsatisfying to play. The game is made just to be difficult, players cant enjoy. Game have lots of upgrade things but you can't use because if you try to take that upgrade you lose. For example you have army and you want to destroy rebels, game wont allow that. Buy lots of upgrades, air support there is no chance destroy rebels. Even if you can you probally get crushed from corruption and stability. I dont think this can be solved with BALANCING, mechanics should have be changed. Otherwise game is really unsatisfying. Like I said before game is made just to be difficult, not for have take enjoy.

After years of people criticizing mechanics devs didnt do anything about them, kinda funny. It still is a shallow pseudo strategy game thats is fun for a couple of hours on easy and normal difficulty but after a while becomes more of the same thing, and higher difficulty just brings frustration, your units literally cant kill rebels without air support, or planning in advance and hoping they spawn in a good location.

there's nothing massively wrong with this but the gameplay gets boring and the meta is weird, i quit after playing for like an hour. it just isnt worth it as it lacks depth and meaningful choices in the game

Great quick game, but on the harder difficulties there are only a few good strategies which lead to each match feeling pretty similar after a while. Still got hundreds of hours of enjoyment across the different platforms.
