About Black Powder Red Earth®

The near present. Following the invasion of Iraq, Private Military Contractors(PMC) become the preferred instrument of foreign policy by Petro-Monarchies in the failed states of the Middle East. Staffed with US special operations combat veterans, PMC select, train and lead armies of local nationals in conventional and unconventional warfare operations. Combat actions conducted by the contractors are not considered acts of war. They are matters of foreign internal defense.

Black Powder Red Earth® is a minute-to-minute turn-based tactics game set in a proxy war between the dictatorship of a failing petro-state and a brutal jihadist insurgency. Fighting in war-torn urban sprawls, players lead an enhanced capability advisory and enabler unit, conducting kinetic actions with full lethal surrogacy to accomplish their missions.

Based on the Amazon best selling graphic novels of the same name, Black Powder Red Earth™ was developed with the support and advice of Special Operations combat veterans from the Commanders In-Extremis Force and by the designer of the Decentralized Battle Space Program. Black Powder Red Earth® has no tech trees, base building or R&D mini-games. It focuses entirely on meaningful tactical decisions that influence the outcome of raids in urban environments.

Step into the event horizon of absolute chaos — now.

I actually love the game, but it crashes on or around the third mission for me repeatedly. For a $20 finished game I would like the campaign to be completable.

Nah. Too repetative, random and boring, without any real attachment to your operatives. I completed the campaign in too hours, feel like it was a waste of time and most likely will uninstall the game and never look back.

Absolutely a must have. There is an entire world of Black powder Red Earth not only in this very game which is brutal and intense, but there are graphic novels and a 28mm table top War game. I am now completely enamored with this near present world. Small team action in a real world scenario of a failed state being over run with jihadists terrorists, multiple scenarios, the never ending chaos of combat action with a small team, turn based badassery!! Absolutely YES!!!! If you love real world small team intel gathering, combat action, asset gaining, extraction and elimination like no capture kill only... Black Powder Red Earth is for you my friend. Tom Clancy style story telling, turn based, white knuckler. LOVE IT!!!!!

Fun tabletop-esque turn based game, good for burning small bits of time off.
