Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 – Uprising

Uprising takes players into the aftermath of the epic battles in Red Alert 3 , with the Soviets still reeling from a crushing defeat, the Empire of the Rising Sun desperately trying to regain both honour and identity and the seemingly victorious Allies finding themselves in the midst of corruption and deceit within their own ranks. In addition to four mini-campaigns, one for each faction and one bonus campaign centred on the origins of the Empire of the Rising Sun’s commando Yuriko, Uprising also introduces the Commander’s Challenge, enabling the players to test their skills against a set of nine commanders from different territories and difficulty levels in 50 unique challenges with their own special rules and unique conditions. This is the first standalone expansion in the franchise (meaning it does not require the base game to be installed), but also the first core game in the franchise not to have a multiplayer mode of any kind (if we don’t count skirmishes against AI players). With unit additions that had little regard for balancing and no support cycle to speak of, the fans regard it as an occasional singleplayer pastime more than anything else.
