As a real-time strategy game that pits Allied forces against Soviet attackers during World War II, gameplay in Command and Conquer: Red Alert depends on the strengths and weaknesses of each faction. The changing pace, unit abilities, and secret weapons are meant to make players adjust every time they change between factions, adding a difficult element that brings an interesting challenge to the game.
