His intervention prevents Nazi Germany’s rise but allows Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union to expand unchecked across Europe.
The player joins either the Allied or Soviet forces as they attempt to control the continent through military campaigns, covert operations, and large-scale battles.
Gameplay follows the formula established by Command & Conquer .
Each mission begins with limited units or a small base, and the player must gather ore using harvesters, construct new buildings, and produce combat units to achieve victory conditions.
Bases include structures for power generation, unit production, defenses, and research.
Resource management is critical, as ore refineries and harvesters provide the credits needed to sustain an army.
Both factions share some common mechanics but feature unique units and abilities.
Allied forces rely on speed, naval dominance, and advanced technology, fielding units such as light tanks, artillery, gunboats, and spy units that infiltrate enemy structures.
Soviet forces emphasize brute strength and numbers, deploying heavy tanks, attack dogs, submarines, and powerful air strikes.
Superweapons add further variety: the Soviets can unleash a devastating nuclear missile, while the Allies employ a Chronosphere to teleport units across the map.
Combat is viewed from a semi-top-down isometric perspective, with sprite-based graphics and terrain that influences strategy.
Missions include a mix of outdoor battlefield scenarios and special indoor operations where players control small squads of infantry without base building.
Objectives range from eliminating enemy bases and escorting convoys to sabotaging key facilities.
Success unlocks subsequent missions and progresses the branching campaign story, complete with live
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Command & Conquer Retaliation [Platinum] for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Command & Conquer Retaliation [Platinum] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1998.
