60 of 193 · most liked firstRattenreich promised to be a unique blend of WWI/WWII-inspired strategy and gritty, alternate-history warfare with anthropomorphic characters. Instead, it delivered little more than broken promises and disappointment, relying on hype to mask its glaring flaws. Expectations were already low, but somehow, it failed to even meet the bare minimum of what players deserved. From the start, the game seemed designed to lure fans with its impressive trailers and concepts of trench warfare mixed with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR- Do not buy this game. It is an unfinished project that will probably never become the game we were promised. Stay Away go buy something that's actually finished and is fully functional. It's a shame what happened to this game. I like so many others became an Early Access casualty to the idea that was Rattenreich. There was so much potential here. The lore alone was enough to make content for years to come. I first learned about this game from Raptor and was instantly hooked on the early…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are currently 4 campaign missions (8-30 mins) And one skirmish map Go play Dawn of war Dark Crusade
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It wants to be Men Of War, but it isn't. It does nothing well, and everything it does, it does poorly. A cover based game with no cover? What? Not even busty rat girl can overcome this poor attempt at... whatever they're going for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Came back to check on this game and found that it somehow managed to have a full release without any of the promised features. The developers said that they needed to full release it in order to better develop it and then no updates on anything after. This is such a shame, it had interesting lore, interesting concept and pretty neat technical gameplay but it's overwhelmingly looking like this was a bait and cash grab. I didn't support KS but did get into EA because I supported the idea and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DEVELOPER HAS ABANDONED PROJECT. If you dont believe me, check their discord and their messaging regarding this "1.0" release. Pathing is no good. A true flop. They took all of our money and ran.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →sadly as of writing this review they told the discord members that they dont have any money left to continue i will paste part of their message here to you all to see: "Many are wondering why there are no updates; financial issues are preventing us from making updates and improvements at the moment. We're open to suggestions from other publishers; we supported the game for over a year, though it wasn't very profitable, to say the least. But we hope to continue improving our game in the future.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Calling 4 Maps and 5~6 missions a release is an insult
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had promise but development was abandoned. I paid for the promise of a full game...shame on me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Tried toughing it out to launch, but this is just a straight dumpster fire of abandoned BULLSxxT. Id 100% ask for a refund but my dumbass waited months to see if the release would of been good.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →would not recommend the game due to the devs dropping it after getting their money out of it, was a good idea and i played until i got to the end of what they dropped and not they wont update it and left it as is. the devs should be ashamed of themselves when game devs do this it should be considered fraud and steam should refund the players who bought it. do not suggest buying it at all
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know how you fumbled the bag this hard when you had so many interested players, it's not even one of those things that you can come back to later after updates. The Devs made almost 100k Euros on kickstarter and then spent none of it on a single QA tester, of which you can practically hire one off the street for the price of a watered down soda and a spit in big mac. Buggy mess, buggy AI, the amount of bugs makes me wonder if Todd Howard himself somehow got put in charge. Now a bit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All hype and no game, not much else to say about it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is abandoned. We never get updates, and when we do they give us basically nothing. Good concept for a game but not a good game. Save your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scam. This is just the barebones of a game. Developers have abandoned ship. Do not buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They got their money and ran, this game is a pure scam and steam should send out refunds to everyone who purchased it since they never made good on their promise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy it, devs are pushing this unfinished game out of EA for full release to cut and run from it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i understand this an early access but they are adding new modes ect when to be honest and cant even compleat the tutorial in campain due to bugs/ gliches. hopefully they can work on stuff like this and polish it asap. wouldnt get yet
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve played a lot of games similar to this and larger scale so the bones for this game are there just needs everything else so I’m excited! Maybe yall just need to play more of this type of game the AI is super easy or you just suck at strategizing don’t move in so fast take your time and didn’t really encounter any bugs on my end. Only left this review cause I saw all of the negative keep it up y'all looking forward for more to come!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a disappointment. Game is releasing with barely any content.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool concept, design, and gameplay. Negative because the game is absolutely broken, crashes every 15-20 mins in the first mission after the tutorial. (i skipped tutorial so no idea if it does it there) once this is fixed, it will be alot more fun
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a complete game. Dev grabbed money and ran
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs bailed on their kickstarter supporters and did not provide them the rewards they promised, also the game has very little content. I highly reccommend getting into the lore of the game world though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the sad reality of a great idea... i was very hyped for this game but devs bailed on it before realizing their ambitions for the game... dont waste your money i n 2026 on this game or even on sale.....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →at the moment i do not recommend its vary buggy and choppy its got a lot of work and is kinda fun but not 20 bucks fun i know its still in its early parts please fix the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandonware trash that is not worth your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy. Simple as that. Tried to refund, but have had this in my library for too long (2y). Completely abandoned, a mess of a game and yeah. Dont buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is abandoned because Devs ran out of money. Not worth buying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was willing to put up with some of the weird choices like giving archwarhammer a self insert, but theres literally no game, its It reminds me of the early greenlight days, all this talk of things they want to do and nothing to show for it. Whats currently available constitutes what should be a free demo.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scammed us left the game unfinished and took off don't buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Early kickstarter backer here...What was promised years ago haven't come to fruition with features such as FPS mode which looked good in an early gameplay trailer. Really disappointed with the devs for barely implementing any useful gameplay elements and calling it done
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had a ton of potential but devs just cut and ran. Websites shutdoen and everything…shame
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dont recall ever playing this game, but from what I seen and heard... Steam needs to remove this game from the store, and formally launch a class-action lawsuit on the Developers for failing to deliver what is promised, but seeing the company has produced only one program, its safe to say that it was a scam the whole time. Steam should have the people whom played this game get refunds, and have the Developers company (and executives) flagged on Kickstart as well,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Showed real promise based on concept. This could have been a solid RTS, yet delivered on a bare-bones and broken game. Do not make the mistake of purchasing the game. It is abandoned, and there is no saving it. A lesson that should be learned here, is to not give developers money on a concept and expect them to fulfill it. In my book, 0/10 is the appropriate rating for the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GAME IS ABONDONED
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is abandonware now, no updates since 2025. Not worth the price even on a sale, please don't give theses people your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is in a permanently unoptimized state at this point. The developers are not returning, and left the unfinished game as '1.0 release.' Such high hopes for this one, too. Technical full release is not a full release.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Units stuck between terrain, falling through the map, grenades can't destroy anything upon impact. The campaign map feels like the same thing that's been recoloured and copy pasted 100 times all over the map. This game deserves GOTY: Garbage of The Year.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't sex the rats.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely shocking that this game was just released in a 1.0 state and then completely abandoned by the developer, I bought this on Crytivo and spent much more to get very little of value. Avoid this developer like the plague because good luck getting a refund if you paid through them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get Ostfront Gates of Hell instead, this is a furry trap with rats that have no tails. Oh, also its unfinished, even S.W.I.N.E. is better, much better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A complete letdown from the early gameplay videos they provided. Ratten Reich lacks even the most basic of features, such as unit names. It lacks support weapons, artillery, light vehicles, and armor. There are no campaigns, which wouldn't necessarily be an issue if there was multiplayer, but there isn't even that. There's no first person control, another feature they showed off earlier that magically disappeared from the early access version. It's a game with a great concept, built on a poor…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned done nothing for a long time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth the price at all, you cant even spawn units in. Asked devs and got no response. im sure they will abandon this soon
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →can't recommend in current state. this is what i backed on crytivo and waited years for?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cash grab,scam and many more words describe this game. I can only say don't touch it. Stay very very very far away from it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nowhere near finished and the Devs have gone silent. At this point we can only hope they're quietly working on the game but I can't in good faith recommend the game as it is now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels very unpolised and even unfisnised, had high hopes for the game, but it shows that they where unfounded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →abandoned took there money and ran
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So much promise but abandoned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played it today after taking a year break. I was hoping the game would be slightly more polished since it's been in "full release" status since July. Game still constantly crashes with no way to save the game. No word from the devs on any of this being fixed so I'm assuming that the game has been abandoned at this point. Would highly recommend you skip this one unless the devs somehow do a complete 180 on it, which is doubtful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They abandon the game and took our money.....or atleast it feels like it stay away from the game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man, did Thor from Pirate Software help make this ?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was looking promising on the demo, because of the good performance. However, the reason seems to be that there is no frame cap. In other words, the GPU gets quite busy right from the beginning, which makes the game very prone to crashing. I believe that can be avoiding by setting an FPS cap. But add to that the very limited gameplay options, and apparently only 4 missions available, and this is a terrible first impression even for an early access.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS GAME IS ABONDONED, DO NOT BUY. I was excited for this game and everything that was announced and planned for it. Then I waited... No new updates. Then I saw the 1.0 release they did and knew they were abandoning the game. I was excited. I enjoyed what I did play. But it is unfinished and you only have a couple of missions. There was no first person mode ever developed and everything is bare bones. Maybe they will come back and finish their game? maybe not. The lore was amazing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game that they somewhat explained to be a CoH inspired 'trench warfare' type game that had quite a bit of hype around it, even getting around 100k Euros on its kickstarter. Unfortunately, it appears that all of that was mostly smoke and mirrors. I played it last on it's early access launch, and it was.... Disappointing, to say the least. It launched with nothing, and what did launch barely worked. People were disappointed, but wrote it off as "It's early access, theyll improve it"…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Ai even on easy is ruthless and seems to get more resources than the player does. it also gets a homefield advantage with the pre placed mg's and field guns across the map. the pathfinding is something that leaves doubt. I get it is early access and all but it seems unfun and unfair to play rn.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. How the hell an RTS game is with NO mid-game save? Considering how unstable it is, it is crazy that we don't have this basic feature? 2. Missing gun sound. No gun sound at all when the troopers firing their guns. No sound effect, no nothing. 3. Is the developer still around? As of april 2026, the game goes on sale for 66% off. I think it shouldn't be on sale if it is abandoned by the developer.
