The story of the Red Alert series takes place in an alternate timeline, where Albert Einstein has discovered a way to travel back in time and has erased Adolf Hitler from existence. However, Einstein stopped one evil only to create another – because Stalin’s Soviet Union is now poised to conquer Europe… and Allies must stop them! What if Hitler never existed? Einstein pondered the question and created a time-machine to eliminate Hitler as a young man, thus preventing World War II as history remembers it. The game has a variety of environments in its missions, adding some indoor missions that use only infantry units.
Gameplay features are similar to those of the previous game, including building a base with some defenses, massing units, harvesting resources, etc. The player takes control of either the Allies or the Soviets, as he battles for destiny of the planet.
