What is WARNO?
A Cold War real-time strategy game set in an alternate 1989, where NATO and Warsaw Pact forces fight in divided Germany. You build battlegroups, deploy infantry, tanks, artillery, helicopters, and aircraft, and control territory in solo, co-op, and competitive battles. Turn-based Army General campaigns connect battles across a larger strategic map.

What players say
80% of 16,144 reviews are positive · 71% of 159 in the last 30 days
Players praise the large-scale tactical battles, battlegroup variety, and lack of base building. Common complaints target art and voices that players describe as AI-generated, costly DLC viewed as repetitive, and single-player AI that appears to know hidden positions or gain unfair advantages.
