Ring of Red presents an intriguing alternate history narrative depicting a divided Japan after World War II. In this strategic landscape, users control armored combat walkers (AFW) in a turn-based format, overcoming the complexities of war. Players are immersed in the journey of Weisegger, a South Japanese soldier who crosses into the North with an innovative AFW prototype, seeking to challenge the North's oppressive rule and the looming Soviet threat. Throughout the title, encounters with various characters add depth and complexity to the plot, each driven by their own unique motivations and backgrounds.

The heart of Ring of Red is a dynamic combat system that seamlessly combines turn-based strategy with real-time combat. Users engage in tactical maneuvers on gridded maps as the intensity of skirmishes unfolds in real time. The title offers extensive customization options, allowing gamers to equip their walkers with a variety of weapons, armor and engines. Additionally, adding strategic depth is the inclusion of different infantry units in the game, offering different abilities to enhance your forces on the battlefield. As day turns to night, the ever-changing cycle affects unit visibility and accuracy, adding another layer of strategic considerations to gameplay.
