About Radio General
Radio General is a real-time strategy game where you can't see your units. Instead you talk with them over the radio. You receive verbal reports, and then issue orders back. Unfortunately for you, war is confusing. Your units won't always know what's going on, and you must make tough decisions based on these incomplete (and often confused) reports. All of this is done from a detailed command tent, as it would have been during WWII.
Clear your throat, and show us your best commanding voice. By combining speech recognition with full voice-acting, you'll feel like you're a general on the horn with your troops. (Speech recognition only available in English. Not available for Mac. Works best with a North American accent and a good microphone).
Behind the scenes, ammunition, morale, camouflage, sight and stamina are all being modelled. Elevation and terrain type will heavily influence battles. A smaller force will be more successful in launching ambushes in a forest than a larger force. Being on a road drastically improves movement speed, however affords little cover and camouflage. Being on a hill will drastically increase your spotting distance, whilst also increasing your range and damage. Study the map carefully, and identify how best to use your units.
Carefully choose which companies to deploy - each company has unique strengths and weakness. Learn the quirks and personalities of your companies: zealous officers may refuse to retreat. Veteran companies will gain specializations, with each unit type having unique abilities.Everyone needs a break, and your companies must rest and replenish between missions. Exhausted units perform poorly, so watch your unit rotations.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's challenging wargame design with fog of war mechanics that create rewarding strategic moments, along with its unique voice command system that evokes EndWar in a WWII setting. However, common complaints center on unreliable voice controls that don't function properly and occasional unit movement issues where the game fails to clearly communicate why orders can't be executed, which can frustrate gameplay despite the core concept being compelling.
Radio General delivers one of the most distinctive interpretations of the real-time strategy genre by placing players in the shoes of a World War II commander who must rely on communication instead of direct battlefield control. Developed by Foolish Mortals Games and Michael Long, and published by Foolish Mortals Games, the game abandons the traditional bird's-eye perspective found in most strategy titles and instead focuses on the uncertainty and responsibility that military leaders experienced during wartime. Players command operations from a headquarters tent using a tactical map and radio transmissions, making every decision based on reports from field officers rather than perfect information. This creative approach transforms familiar RTS gameplay into a tense exercise in judgment, planning, and leadership. The game's most innovative feature is its voice command system, which allows players to issue military orders through a microphone using natural speech. Officers acknowledge commands and report changing battlefield conditions through fully voiced radio conversations, creating an immersive command environment unlike almost anything else in the genre.

Fun game but it does have some balance issues and can be overwhelming in the last few missions.

The voice commands could do better, but it has the EndWar vibes in a WWII setting, with a country that was always overshadowed.
Now I know what it feels like to hopelessly watch all my men get wiped out one by one as I hear their cries on the radio.
