Game Groups > Command & Conquer: Red Alert universe

The Red Alert titles compose a sub-series of the popular Command & Conquer franchise series of real-time strategy games. Taking place in various alternate timelines, the games usually depict conflict between the Allies (United States and Western Europe) and the Soviet Union, later joined by a third faction - the personal army of ex-Soviet psychic Yuri, or the Empire of the Rising Sun. Being less serious than the main line of C&C games in the Tiberium universe, the Red Alert games feature over-the-top weapon systems and tongue-in-cheek cutscenes. While there are connections to the Tiberium universe in the first game, later titles take place in an entirely different continuity.
