About This Demo

About the Demo

Welcome to try our early version of the game!

  • In this demo, we've prepared seven levels from the famous "Seven Victories in 5 Battles in Central Jiangsu"! In July 1946, Li Mo'an led 120,000 Kuomintang troops in a three-pronged attack on the Central Jiangsu Liberated Area, while the Central China Field Army only had 30,000 available troops! What a stark disparity in strength! You will assume the role of General Su Yu, the "502 General“, commanding this famous battle where a smaller force defeated a larger one. With the Kuomintang army pressing forward, can you fully utilize the essence of mobile warfare? Can you annihilate half of the invading Kuomintang forces while preserving your own forces? Commander, begin to showcase your art of command!

  • The demo version still has many shortcomings, including potential bugs, less-than-smooth interactive feedback, unremarkable art style, and flawed level design. If you encounter any of these issues, please feel free to provide feedback!

About the Game

Crimson Banner: War of Liberation allows you to take command of the People's Liberation Army during the fully erupted Civil War of 1946, leading your forces across the vast landscapes of China. Utilize your strategic artistry to issue diverse orders to the Red Army, managing their logistics and supply lines to secure victory in the struggle for China's liberation. The gameplay framework of Crimson Banner: War of Liberation follows the excellent introductory wargame series Unity of Command and introduces improvements upon it. If you are also a fan of 2x2 games, this is the Chinese perspective title made for you!

Key Features

  • Chinese Perspective - A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire
    For the first time in a strategy wargame released on Steam, experience the epic sweep of the Chinese Civil War from this unique viewpoint.

  • Irreversible Actions - Decide Promptly, No Regrets for Moves Made
    Every command is critical. Many actions—such as those altering the fog of war or initiating attacks—cannot be undone. You must have the courage to act and bear the consequences of your decisions.

  • Logistics & Supply - Provisions Precede Troops

    You cannot focus solely on the frontline battle. You must also manage your logistical supply lines, protecting your own while severing the enemy's, to achieve more effective operations.

  • Fog of War - Unpredictable Deceptions, All Warfare is Based
    Unlike traditional tabletop wargames, the digital format introduces a dynamic fog of war. Stripped of an omniscient god's-eye view, you must rely solely on available intelligence and information to make the most accurate judgments.

  • Uncompromised AI - Peril at Every Step, Waiting for an Opening
    Our AI is a master of military doctrine. It will use the fog of war to set ambushes, exploit weak supply lines to drive deep into your territory, and concentrate forces to breach your dispersed defenses. Constant vigilance is essential, for the enemy is always seeking your moment of vulnerability. Of course our AI will follow its history path, so if you know their history, you will be closer to victory!
