June 2025

The main issue this game suffers from is how much depth it doesn't tell new players about. Most new player impressions are going to be either "this game is so shallow, all you do is decide where to send troops and which nearly identical initiative should I support." or "this game is so hard and confusing. I have no clue what I'm doing." Fortunately, with experience (and potentially help from Pravus, who has a mega-brutal on every single map and some official scenarios with explanations of his reasoning) you can discover hidden mechanics, such as education and cellphones being extremely good early game support boosters due to fast rollout times or security checkpoints increasing the chance of ? camps being discovered.

Rebel Inc: Escalation is a political-military strategy simulation game from the creators of Plague Inc. Instead of spreading disease, this time you're trying to stabilize a war-torn region by balancing military operations, civilian needs, corruption, and international diplomacy. It’s a nuanced and often brutally realistic simulation of post-conflict nation-building. You juggle multiple systems at once: military deployment, infrastructure, public support, corruption levels, and diplomacy. Each decision has cascading effects. Inspired by real-world counterinsurgency tactics, it presents a surprisingly nuanced look at modern conflict. The insurgents evolve, relocate, and adapt, requiring flexible strategies. Different maps and playable "governors" (each with unique abilities and constraints) keep gameplay varied and replayable. For example, the Economist gets huge upfront funds but slower monthly income, while the General starts with a powerful military but weak civilian outreach. New players may feel overwhelmed. There’s a lot of trial-and-error involved, especially with little feedback on why you're suddenly losing. Rebel Inc: Escalation is a smart, challenging strategy title that blends political nuance and military tactics. It’s an unusual and thoughtful look at post-war stabilization and counterinsurgency. For strategy fans who enjoy games like Hearts of Iron, Risk, or Civilization but want a modern twist, this is absolutely worth a try. 8/10 DISASTER | BAD | MEDIOCRE | OKAY | GOOD | GREAT |AMAZING| MASTERPIECE Reviewed on: Win11 Home 64-bit, Intel i5-11600K, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB TUF, 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM, 2 x Kingston NV1 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Internet Broadband 1000/1000 Mbit If you like this review, then please consider giving it a thumbs up.

Basically, you cosplay as the US in Afghanistan, except you also pretend this nation building strategy actually works. 10/10

only correct way to play: >fund the army only (never trust and serve those unreliable local hypocrites with your budget). >when they pop up their heads from their holes, hunt and drive all those disgusting terrorists back to their last hideout and support your mighty troops with your fancy jets aiding the relentless trolling. >bomb some locals along the way and don't compensate (optional). >reject all peacedeals until they’re all wiped out. >area secure and stable.
