In accordance with the game's theme the overarching plot is about catching a spy.
In contrast to most other WWII games, the battles in RUSE: The Art of Deception take place on big maps - and this is to be taken literally.
There is no 3D environment, and the only models are the war units on a land map.
At least if the player currently is on one of the nearer zoom levels.
If the game is zoomed out the player has a greater overview, and the units are shown in an abstract form which can be described as stacked, differently colored poker chips.
Then only a whole troop can be given orders; to move single units the player has to use the stepless zoom to have a closer look.
The strategy itself consists of the usual system of different unit types which have advantages and disadvantages against other types.
Basic base building elements exist, but play no big role: there are only production facilities and defense towers to build.
Resource depots can be conquered.
The combatants can utilize various deceptions.
Those are similar to special attacks in other games and apply to a certain part of the map.
Examples are hiding all friendly units, showing the movement path of enemy units with big red arrows, fake units to distract the enemy or disguising heavy units as light units (and the other way around).
Additionally to the campaign there are two co-op maps and four separate maps against powerful AI generals.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks R.U.S.E. for PC 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 R.U.S.E. 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 PC release dates back to 2010.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for R.U.S.E. — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
Frequently asked questions
How much is R.U.S.E. worth?
Gamevaro hasn't tracked a market sale for R.U.S.E. (PC) yet, so no current value is available. Prices are sourced from real marketplace sales, and this page will update automatically once sales data comes in.
Is R.U.S.E. rare?
No market sales have been tracked yet for R.U.S.E., which could mean it rarely changes hands or that Gamevaro simply hasn't recorded a sale for it yet.
What's the difference between loose, CIB and sealed for R.U.S.E.?
Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
