R.U.S.E has officially returned to Steam! That’s right. Sixteen years since it had originally been discontinued, the impressive WW2 real-time-strategy game has returned to Steam. Originally a game from 2010, the developers were soon after forced to delist the title due to distribution constraints. They were able to re-acquire rights to the game, allowing for a chance for PC gamers who missed out back in the day such as myself to grab the game once more.

R.U.S.E1

Its surprise return not only includes the base game and all available DLC for R.U.S.E to date for current owners, but it also comes with full support for the Steam Deck. This is a surprising turn of events, because the wargame genre is usually notorious for having certain problems on handheld devices, such as the Deck, with controller support and tiny text. That is not the case for R.U.S.E Definitive Edition, which is great news for us.

R.U.S.E

R.U.S.E is available on Steam for $29.99 and is officially Steam Deck Verified.
