    This game is much better than I expected, especially for the price. I've played many games priced higher than this that don't offer the same amount of enjoyment. I am especially fond of how each country speaks their own language, unless addressing something vital.

    While focused on the combat more then anything else, RFB Gold is a fun game. Like i said, it focus is on the combat. You don't have workers gather resourses, no buildings to be made, straight to the point; war. And, thankfully, its fun. There are 3 armies to choose from, Germany, US, and Russia, but aside from one or two unique unites, they all play the same. I've only started the main story, but have put some time into deathmatches. You can play with or against bots (yay!) and the AI is…

    I sunk HOURS into this game when I was younger. Does it hold up to my memories? Hell yes. Even now, when I'm spoiled by games like CoH2, This games is still a good RTS. Graphics are good, (Except for the cutscenes...but those are so hilariously animated that it's hard to hate them.) Controls aren't awkward, and there isn't a butt ton to memorize. There are pop culture refences all over the game (Like, one time as the soviets, I captured the enemy base, and a soldier said: "Run Nazis! All your…

    I first played the vanilla game several years ago, with the Western Allies, Russian, German and French campaigns. It was quite possibly the greatest RTS game I have ever played, using a great system involving infantry, vehicles and crews, artillery, officers, airborne troops, all sorts of good stuff. With the Gold version, the "Rush for the Bomb" mode is added, detailing a fictional front of WWII with the rush to build the atomic bomb. Started as a great game, now became better.

    Five WWII campaigns from a great (although now defunct) developer called Stormregion for $1.24: somewhat dated by today's standards but nonetheless fun to play.

    This is crap! A very unrealistic WW2 RTS, badly implemented, ripoff of Blitzkreig 2. Armour values on tanks are completely fictitious. Graphics are poor. Difficulty levels are obscene. Most (maybe all) scenarios have time limits, a pet hate of mine in RTS games. Voice acting dreadful. Appears unpolished, unfinished and unprofessional. It is SO crap that not even the title here on the Steam Store / Library and the title of the game itself match. You see it as "Rush for Berlin" here? In the…

    I want to like this. What other WW2 rts has a Maus superheavy tank in it? But I can't. Controls are unresponsive Pathfinding is terrible, units actually bump into mountains and then stop for a second, and then go perpendicularly until they hit another mountain. HP system is wack. Vehicles are underpowered when every infantry carries mines and grenades that 2 shots it. Graphics are lackluster Such an interesting concept brought down by execution

    For a game made in 2006 , it aged (at least to me) really ok , besides the difficulty (sometimes it's kinda unfair) , graphics didn't aged that well but still the models for troops and tanks are good , but the french campaign although fun , they didn't remake the american troops , just added 2 new troops and 1 command . Although it has some flaws , for a game that is 15 years old it's solid . I give it a 9/10 +nostalgia factor (played it when i was a kid)

    Game Fixes and Bugs This game has no problem running on Windows 10. I highly recommend setting the game on Window 7 Compatibility as it starts crashing on German campaign. RFTB(Rush for Bomb) Campaign is included and it is not buggy compare to the original. In order to unlock German and French campaign you have to complete either Western Allied or Russian campaign. Do not bother playing Hard mode or try to unlock all medals. You do not unlock anything in this game. Some missions it is…

    Rush For Berlin is a 2009 RTS game that is developed by Stormregion and published by Deep Silver. It is set in the middle and final years of World War II. Gameplay:- Rush For Berlin is an RTS game, I made that clear, but there is a lot of thinking for it. you got to keep a lot of your tanks active and soldiers alive if you want to win the war. Each tank and unit has special abilities. Like for example a T-34 soviet tank can ram into it's opposing tanks due to the "For the motherland!" run they…

    Rush for Berlin Gold is a realisticWorld War II strategy game that involves the armed forces of the United States, Free France, Germany and the Soviet Union. The game contains solid graphic even by 2017 standard. Every factions have historically accurate units. The game is very combat focused, which means you don't have to worry about the economy and building bases. All you need to do is "Rush For Berlin".

    i excpected a high action WW2 battle RTs but instead i got 10 min of my soldiers walking acorss the map. and the game is also unclear with your mission for example i could not even figure out what to do on the first mission even when i went to the yellow circles in short what is this game? cancer (i recommend buying civ 5 instead if you enjoy controling troops and managing a country)

    I found this frustrating and just couldn't engage with it. For some reason even on easy I found it ridiculously hard at times. It just didn't draw me in enough to want to figure it out, so uninstalled after mission 4 which was just annoying. It's not a bad game per se and has aged relatively well, but I just didn't enjoy the time I spent with it.

    For me this game was always an example of how such games should be made, there are several interesting campaigns with great storyline, unique missions and units, many great funny cutscenes, lots of so-called 'easter eggs' in most (if not all) missions, that made me replay them again and again, as it felt like i'd necessarily miss something out.

    A good RTS from my childhood. It's basically Team Fortress 2 or Inglourious Basterds if either of them were a World War II RTS The worst thing you can do is watch an American officer punch an entire crew off an enemy tank and think to yourself, "Hmm, I should probably start judging this game's historical accuracy" This game doesn't try to be historically accurate, nor does it try to be particularly realistic. It has plenty of funny and absurd moments and easter eggs here and there, but it's…

    5/10 Was expecting more from the codename panzer devs. Can't decide if it wants to be a real time tactics or an RTS with force building mechanics. While i like the different focus of the campaigns, soviet being armor, allies being infantry and the german missions somewhere in between. The problem is the game is unfair on how it hard counters these styles. Missions with tanks are riddled with super heavy emplaced guns that can 1 shot armor and groups of infantry. The western missions are a maze…

    I really like RTS games. I only played one hour yet but I really like it. The fire range could be a bit far but at all the game is fine. It's graphic is still good in 2017. I recommend this game for those who likes RTS games like Codename series, Blitzkrieg and etc. games. It's totally worth the money I spent for it.

    This game is the worst from the Codename: Panzers series. Pros: - Funny cut-scenes - Better graphics than Codename: Panzers, Phase One and Codename: Panzers, Phase Two Cons: - Controls are much worse than Codename: Panzers - Several missions with unlimited enemies - Last missions are brutal or extremely slow (you need to wait for hours to get resources to create decent army) Get it with highest discount as possible or get any other Codename game (better)

    It's good if you haven't played anything in the RTT genre. It's bad compared to Sudden Strike and Blitzkrieg. The combat is flaccid, spongey and downright laughable, clearing a map in SS or Blitzkrieg feels more or less like you are in an actual battle. Clearing step by step, moving units around, operating logistics, positioning your scout and artillery. It's trying to reinvent hot water, without knowing why the water is hot in the first place, Just buy Blitzkrieg or Sudden Strike(the old…

    Before Company of Hero's there was Rush For Berlin or how I grew to love the "Bomb" Dr Strangelove! Same concepts from COH. Started loving WW2 era games back when Sega Saturns IronStorm was a thing back in 88 . Excellent overall story lines and ability to use different Factions.

    This game is a quite interesting piece of video game history. Its quite well done quality wise even though you can see how old it is already. The storytelling is compelling and quite well done, especially the german campaign where you get rid of hitler and then desperately try to get a truce with your adversaries. Unit Models and Voice Acting is superb in my opinion. One of my favorite childhood games.

Would rather stick with retro commandos games or go for juggernauts of the genre like company of heroes if I am going to spend that much time on this kind of experience. This is an early 3D RTS engine featuring a bunch of instance-based missions. Game follows conventions of the genre and has you micromanage small number of units across a…

    Works fine on a win 7 laptop. Might be my laptop, but the load time is definitely long on certain maps. A tactical rts with no base building. On certain missions you can recruit more units, but for the majority of those missions your existing units are good enough. I liked how they would give you a video preview of the current mission. You do get a core group that you can level up if they survive, but they only go to the 3rd rank and level up fast and you could only deploy a fraction of them,…

    Although I haven't played through much of Rush for Berlin, for those of you who are familiar with the COH series, this is similar, but you don't build or battle for resources. I would recommend this for those of you who want to get straight to the fighting. Graphics are light and "pretty" looking, and overall a good game for the price.
