You know how few RTS get released when The Settlers: New Allies makes it into the best released RTS list.

[TronleHD]

About Company of Heroes from a fan. It's not really much about the direction of the game but more how blatantly unfinished it released. No polish to be found and it is STILL lacking in alot of areas several months after release. Negative reviews (mine included) is mainly about this and not the direction of the game.

Thank you for covering strategy games ! Without your videos, I'd feel so sad !

I hate games whit Denuvo Anti-Tamper, and there are 2 games whit it: "The Great War: Western Front" and "Total War Pharaoh", so, bad news for me. Good video, like always!. You rock! 🤘

[jotto]

another great video, thanks for informing us on these, mostly, great releases :D

[hazarod]

for me a good RTS needs to be like KKND, C&C, Starcraft, Warcraft, Empire Earth, Earth 2150, Haegemonia or Age of Empires. i bet i forgot a few that i really like. but thats enough to get the picture^^

I want an alien vs predators rts that uses colonists as a resource, the marines recruit them, the xenos chest burst them and predators must take trophy’s to gain favour. The thing that would make or break the game is my idea to have three plains of combat, ground level, where the humans are strong, under ground where the Xenos can tunnel and ambush, and the canopies where the predator can leap around blend in and pick of select targets . Humans are typical rts humans with pulse rivals and research smart guns and motion sensors ect, xenos play the hoard and have all those variations in great numbers, predators are much smaller in number but each unit beyond juvenile hunter is more of a hero unit that masters in micro. Depending on ur trophies snd skulls u will unlock higher rank predators with their tech .

Cant Wait for Sanctuary: Shattered Sun

[NoName-]

I wait for Tempest Rising. Should be a great RTS too.

[banterabc]

love Mechabellum, it's awsome.
Men of War 2 was pushed to 2024, it is the best upcoming to release.
also the original Settlers creator is releasing a TRUE Settlers game himself this year without the franchise (Pioneers Of Pagonia). also hoping for Manor Lords

[cal]

trying out silica now, that looks so sick!

[awrawrwar]

Ahhh Savage, I remember that game. All the god beams telling us "BUILD HERE" or "ATTACK HERE" and how the beast factions would constantly look for areas to sneak a portal and the humans scattered sensors everywhere to prevent that. Getting a shield tower up to prevent behemoths from just trampling over towers, being able to block anything including tree trunks with the legionnaire's axe, wedging myself between the garrison/lair and the redstone mine for maximum mining efficiency.

I miss that game.

shouldn't pharaoh be riding a camel or a chariot?

[Groaznic]

If you made Silica and Mechabellum and Knights of honor 2 sovereign gameplay videos I'd watch them.

[ratsherr]

an RTS from Germany is also coming-2089 Space Divided-is still in development with the community

[SkyFly]

There are games called Blitzkrieg and Sudden Strike.

I wish they could have made World War 1 RTS games based on these games..

[OodldoodlNoodlesocks]

I don't think Mechabellum should be considered RTS. The genre is already vaguely defined enough.

[ZafrasF]

Mechabellum looks like the best 1 on the list to me.

[Bambeakz]

It is a shockingly bad year for RTS gaming looking at this list. Settlers, COH 3 and Total War Failed so hard that I don’t see them recover to great games

Where is beyond all reason??!!??
free, already out, balanced for 8v8 but ive seen 10v10v10v10 and crazier things happen
multiple coop modes up to 16player vs 16ai or raptors or scavengers
3 tiers of units, starting with earlygame tiny pew pew robots and tanks to endgame giant battle mechs, flagships and nukes
land air sea seaplane amphib hover allterrain(spiderlike climb and hang)
literally every unit feels satisfying to use

its a game made by gamers it has all the QOL things you would want from an rts. And even better, if you still miss something you are allowed to write a widget to implement it as a sort of mod. and if enough ppl like your mod they may consider it for the base game.
repeat factory ques, map control = resources instead of 2-3 gold mines with worker management bs. so you can spend more apm on actual combat, like drawing formations, eco is also really fun, wind/solar/tidal/fusionreactors, simple to learn hard to master eco ive been completely addicted for the last two months.
