## What is Radio Commander?

Use the radio to give commands to the soldiers on the battlefield. Keep track of the situation based on their voice reports only. Lead US platoons to clash with Vietcong in a realistic, innovative approach to the RTS genre. Make hard choices in a narrative driven experience and face the outcome.

Radio Commander includes:
- 9 main campaign missions (every mission is possible to complete in several different ways)
- quick battle mode
- 9 animated briefings
- 15 unit types, including: infantry, evac choppers, gunships, field artillery, aerial reconnaissance, M113 armored personnel carriers, and napalm-carrying F4 Phantom jets (every unit is described by a unique set of statistics and communicates with commander using a different voice),
- full voice over
- voice recognition
- over 200 dialogue blocks, used to construct radio messages
- over 600 story dialogues between units and the commander

Reviews:
“Buy it for an unforgettable taste of bona fide battlefield chaos. Buy it for the edginess it engenders so effortlessly. Buy it for those dry-lipped “Say again?”s that never get answered.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

“In many ways, I’d say Radio Commander is one of the most immersive games I’ve played in 2019.”
Wargamer

“As you get wrapped up in the story, the outcome of missions becomes incredibly tense. I can’t remember a simple “move” order in a strategy game ever being so heart-wrenching, as you sit idly by for minutes at a time (you can speed things up with a timelapse clock, though), waiting to hear back from units, or order a platoon into combat only to be met with silence.”
Kotaku

### 1/5 — Controls are awful

*2025-06-06*

There is little to no thought put into the UI when they port this game from PC to iOS. The game is nice on PC but unenjoyable on my iPad. If you really wanna play this game, get it on your PC instead, not here.

### 4/5 — 日本語化希望

*2025-04-18*

タイトルにある通り日本語化してほしい。911は日本語化されたし希望を見出してもいいよね？

### 5/5 — Realistic And Captivating

*2025-01-16*

It’s unfortunate this game isn’t more popular, but it seems to have a community on PC.

I like how at the end during replays, you can see the actual positions of your troops. After the tutorial, it seemed kind of weird how the VC and Bravo were right on each other, but they’re in a dense jungle and the shown positions probably aren’t 100% accurate still.

About to play Level 2 and I really enjoy the work and effort you guys have put into this game. From having small talk with your squads to anxiously waiting for a status report, this game perfectly captures communication on and off the battlefield. Will you only be able to secure a position and injured/KIA or only hope to fend off the VC?

### 3/5 — Интерфейс

*2024-10-12*

Проблема большинства ПК-шных игр при переносе на мобильники — это интерфейс. В Radio Commander неудобное и неотзывчивое управление. Камерой сложно управлять, рисовать на карте вообще нереально. Может быть, на iPad такой проблемы нет, но на XR — определённо есть. В остальном игра хорошая, как оригинал. Русский язык есть.

### 5/5 — Для интересующихся

*2024-07-21*

В игре присутствует перевод на русский ,можете смело брать

### 5/5 — Why it didn’t support other languages?

*2023-05-02*

English is not my first language.Can you add more languages to the game?

### 5/5 — Good game

*2023-04-17*

It was very interesting and realistic and as well it was very fun but did take a bit to get the hang of it

### 5/5 — Good game

*2023-03-17*

This is a very good game every choice matters big and small it will change the out come of the game but remember this is supposed to be a simulation and war is never fair I’m very glad this game was made 

My grand father actually served in the 82 airborne division 173 air cav in Vietnam the few story’s he was willing to share make the events in the game pale in comparison 

Here’s something you should do thank a veteran for their Service 

All the ww2 vets are almost gone then it will be the Korean vets turn then the Vietnam vets and so on 
You’ll never get another chance to I promise you that

### 3/5 — Good idea poorly executed

*2022-05-24*

Spent more time battling clunky interface and iffy mission scripting than Victor Charlie. Radio chatter is robotic and repetitive, which is unfortunate for a game called Radio Commander.

### 5/5 — 5 Star Game

*2021-12-31*

The most realistic military game out there, if you think Call of Duty is a realistic military game then you’re dead wrong. In Call of Duty you can take 10 shots like it’s nothing, in Radio Commander you sit in a chair operating the radio - commanding your troops. It’s perfect, it’s the best military - strategy game out there.
I was originally going to purchase this on PC until I realized it’s out in mobile, now it’s the only game I have on my phone, it’s perfect!
