Was this game inspired by the anime "Memories"?
REDCON's style is reminiscent of the episode "Cannon Fodder" from the anime. Here's some similarities:
Soldiers[i57.tinypic.com]
Huge cannon from the main menu[gracz.org]
General Krutz lookalike[i.imgur.com]
The fortress itself[upload.wikimedia.org]
It's not a bad thing, don't get me wrong, the style is awesome, I just want developers to confirm or refute this.

Confirmed.

Cannon Fodder from "Memories" was a huge inspiration for REDCON. One of the reasons why General Kranz teaches ballistics at the academy. There's also a very special "Cannon 17" in the game and many more little hints at this thoughtful and beautiful anime short.

Glad you noticed!

Definetely. "Memories" consists of 3 shorts, Cannon Fodder is one of them. One of the best animes I've seen, you should check it out.

Anime is plural for anime.

I just saw the trailer for this game. Cannon Fodder immediatly sprang to mind.
Memories was a good anime and I love that it spawned the idea for such a game.

Of the three vignettes, Magnetic Rose and Stink Bomb had more story to them. However Cannon Fodder was more about establishing a world. Seeing the day-to-day lives of this nation at war with an unseen enemy. From school age to factory worker to military engineers and gunners. You got the idea that this was just part of their daily lives and they simply made the best with what they had to live with.

It's a world one could lose themselves in and now, thanks to this game, we can.
