About Rebel Inc: Escalation
✦ AI summary
Build a war-torn nation by balancing military operations and civilian development while fighting off insurgency, choosing from eight unique governors with radical abilities across eight distinct regions. This deeply researched counter-insurgency strategy sim earned praise from international development experts and peace conferences for its thoughtful approach to modern geopolitics.
From the creator of 'Plague Inc: Evolved' comes a unique and deeply engaging political/military strategic simulation.
In Rebel Inc: Escalation, the war is ‘over’ - but we all know that doesn't mean anything. In order to stabilise a war-torn country, you need to balance competing military and civilian priorities to win the hearts and minds of the people, whilst also stopping a deadly insurgency from seizing power!
Following on from the global mega hit 'Plague Inc.' with over 160 million players, Rebel Inc: Escalation offers a deeply engaging, strategic challenge inspired by the complexities and consequences of modern counter insurgency. It has received acclaim from international development experts and was even featured at a major international peace conference!
- 8 regions to stabilise - Deploy to wildly different strategic environments, including the gentle farms of ‘Saffron Fields’, or the impenetrable forests of ‘Distant Steppe’. Work to defend the ‘Azure Dam’ from the Insurgency, or develop unique new strategies to counter the drug trade in ‘Opium Fields’.
- 8 unique governors - Each one with radical new abilities to master. Choose the ‘Economist’ to receive an entire year’s income in one go or the ‘Warlord’ to train a personal militia. Field an army of heavy armour with the ‘Tank Commander’, or tap into the black-market with the ‘Smuggler’.
- Hyper-realistic - Inspired by Afghanistan, the simulation is highly detailed, containing real world development initiatives and an innovative representation of counter insurgency tactics. It has been praised by the World Bank and was even featured at a major international peace conference.

- Co-Op Multiplayer - Work together to simultaneously stabilise two separate Regions, sending soldiers and resources to your partner to achieve your goals. Or jump into a Co-Op Campaign of escalating difficulty.
- Challenge Mode - Compete against the Steam Community on randomised Weekly Challenges, including an extra hard mode for the best of the best.
- Custom Scenarios & Scenario Creator - Explore a world of fresh new ways to play with official and community created Scenarios, or develop your own share them with other players via Steam Workshop. Who said Nation Building was hard?
- Advanced civilian and military AI - Sophisticated narrative algorithms model the needs of local populations, while deadly insurgent attacks put constant pressure on your operation.
- Gorgeous Graphics - Stabilise a beautifully rendered 3D world that responds to your actions and thrives as you provide jobs and services. Drone cams and civilian TV channels bring your operation to life and show you what's happening on the ground.

Before you can build basic infrastructure like water or toilets, you have to pay a "setup" cost because, apparently, setting up the ability to build requires its own setup. Meanwhile, even if you've eliminated 97% of the insurgency by prioritizing military operations, you're still punished because you didn't immediately provide every village with sanitation and phone service. Somehow, two insurgent camps hidden in remote caves are enough to destabilize an entire country of hundreds of thousands of people. Then there's the reputation system. If it reaches zero, the game acts as if the entire U.S. military instantly loses all morale, packs up, and surrenders. Not because you've lost the war, but because an arbitrary reputation meter hit zero. It's one of the least believable mechanics I've seen in a strategy game. Anything above Easy difficulty is even worse. Once you understand how reputation actually works, you realize the challenge isn't strat…4 found this helpful
