I’ve always wanted to get into the RTS genre, but I’m not very good at them and always found most of the popular titles to be a bit overwhelming. I’ve heard this is pretty decent as a “baby’s first RTS” type of title, but anyone have any better suggestions?
Try shadow tactics blades of Shogun. It released in December last year and honestly it was the best surprise of that year for me. It’s a mix of rts and tactics. It’s quite good.
Where is its RTS part, though? It looks like Commandos, where you give orders to a handful of characters. It’s more of a real-time tactics game.
Yeah you’re right it’s not RTS. But still a real time tactics game and a good one at that. Just a suggestion since he was saying he found RTS overwhelming. Maybe as an alternative?
Try Age of Empires HD it is still the best after all these years and has a decent tutorial and difficulty level.
Good old Age of Empires II. It have a HD version with new campaigns, civilizations, units…
Try Stronghold HD or Cusader HD.
i’d tell you modded version of attila or wargame red dragon since that’s what i’m playing day and night but i think lotr bfme 2 would be an excellent game for anyone new to rts games, it’s ez, addictive and entertaining af, besides if you like lotr, it’s a must have
Play Age of Empires 2 or World in Conflict
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I’ll probably give AoE 2 a go once it goes on sale again.
Now gears of war
this is what looks like that amd fanboys were hyping about
No , dummy
That was Halo 3.
you never know what it is it could be this too
Why the launch date says the it was released in 2016?
It refers to the Windows Store version (it was available as a pre-order bonus for Halo Wars 2)
Cool they should bring gears of war next.
Now off topic but is anyone experiencing connection issues on Origin mainly battlefield 1 and 4?
One can only speculate.
No real Halo,no buy…
Actually, the very first Halo (and concepts for Halo) were RTSs. This is more Halo than any of the other Halos. Just look up the history.
Sad that Microsoft once gave us masterpiece like Age of Empires, now did they really make an oath for delivering bad games?
coming… to STEAM?
does this mean microshaft finally realized their failed UMP is going under?
no they’re thick, they need to be everyone’s laughing stock for couple more years
?????????????????
OMG in the beginning i read that as the trilogy then i saw wars like who cares about this dumb game.
Just bring us the remastered versions of halo 1-4
it’s ensamble’s last game before MS killed the studio, to me it’s their final masterpiece
their final farewell
oh boy look at the date
I thought it was halo 1 2 3 definitive edition, god damn it I was so hyped until…
