Cranky Redcoats

An unholy fusion of Landfall's Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and CA's Total War: Empire, Cranky Redcoats is a fast-paced real-time strategy/survival game with huge explosions and unrealistically fast musket reload times. 




Prepare to experience:

  • British, French, and German armies fighting themselves!
  • Increasingly dangerous waves of soldiers, farmers, and tribespeople!
  • Occasional jokes and puns, accompanied by the groans of nearby soldiers!
  • Terrifying naval artillery strikes!
  • Belligerent farmers throwing torches and bricks!
  • Brute-force resource collection and colony management!
  • Mortars and howitzers blasting through fortress walls!
  • Natives of ambiguous cultural origin!



Command and destroy the following units:

  • Redcoats with terrible aim!
  • Green Jackets with slightly more accurate rifles!
  • Pikemen who value their legacy and heritage!
  • Officers with profoundly uninspiring battle speeches!
  • Frenchmen who yell "Retreat!" while in combat!
  • Hessians voice-acted by someone who doesn't speak German!
  • Extremely low-effort horses and cavalrymen!
  • Overpowered grenadiers!
  • Cannon and howitzer carriages!
  • Puckle shotguns!
  • Farmer miniboss: farmer with two MP-40 submachine guns!
  • Native miniboss: statue of the great lord Ho-Chunk himself!
  • . . . and several others which I have forgotten!






    Disclaimer: This game is very early along in development! Feedback is welcome and will be incorporated into future iterations of this concept.

    I FOUND A BOUCH OF SECORET FECTERS PRESS C, X,Z

    plz develop this more its great just please stop with the singing it would fix the lag a lot and i know that you are still working on this or used too keep up the good work this could blow up, by a long time fan. cesare

    laggy but fun

    Love the silly sense of humor, and the combat is actually quite fun! I'd love to see this concept developed more!

    Cannons and Howitzers are pretty much fucked. They somehow can't move out of the beach on my time playing this game. Other than that, the game's fun! Can't get enough of the men shouting insults and singing songs.

    Great game, I love it 

    can you make a ww2 version of this?

    The gameplay is really unusual and interesting
