Let’s Play Command & Conquer: Red Alert (iOS) #11 | Empire Mission 1: Blood of Brothers

We start with the not-so-obligatory civil war mission. Command & Conquer: Red Alert is a real-time strategy games released for iPhone and iPad in 2009. It was developed by Ea Romania and is distinct from Command & Conquer: Red Alert Mobile released for Java phones at the same time. The game is set between Yuri’s Revenge and Red Alert 3, and establishes the setup for the latter. Aesthetically, the game shares much with Red Alert 3, and all of its factions are playable. There are five missions each for the the Soviets and the Allies, with a campaign for the Empire of the Rising Sun having been added in an expansion. All factions have their own set of units and structures. The gameplay is a simplified version of Red Alert 3 and optimised for touch controls. In addition to the campaigns, Command & Conquer: Red Alert supports skirmish matches as well as local and online multiplayer. In 2014, EA announced that several of its games - Command & Conquer: Red Alert included - would not receive updates to keep them compatible with the latest iOS version. The game was subsequently removed from the Apple Store.
