Master 17 Strategy Warfare Classics. Are you ready for the ultimate real-time strategy experience? Gather resources, build your base, and create the most powerful armies in the world before engaging the enemy in all-out war.
I guess this is nice for nostalgic value, but where is new, modern real time strategy games like this? It’s been a very long time since anything new existed.
I mean, there was StarCraft 2 after it. And the Warcraft 3 remake thing. But yeah, they mostly lost interest (in anything that wasn’t just an absolute fucking printing press for money like WoW was)
The “Warcraft 3 remake thing” was a complete and utter failure by blizzard, and destroyed a game that had flourished for over a decade. Fuck blizzard. Look what they did to my boy
The RTS genre got drowned by cellphone apps doing the same thing.
The games don’t have high technical requirements, so it’s a perfect match for phone/tablet apps.
However they’re also quite easy to program, and easy to make graphics for, so the market is swamped with clones of clones of stock code and stock graphics, so no developer can approach it seriously anymore.
The best games in the genre are good because they have carefully balanced gameplay, but that takes time to discover for the players, so even if someone made the perfect game, it’d never be discovered amongst the shovel-ware.

They all cashed out on MMOs, The Warcraft series completely died off when WoW went online.

wc3remake is ass, but thanks to the community the game is in a pretty good state.
It’s kind of good, that blizzard is not to invested. The stuff w3champion and co do for map pool and variety is above blizzards abilities.

I’d recommend checking out Planetary Annihilation, Planetary Annihilation:Titans, Supreme Commander 1/2 and their mods
Company of Heroes 3?
I wanted to but the reviews show it’s a train wreck.
