RTS games are all dead
Is this post from 2014? Age of Empires is stronger than ever, since the release of the Definitive Editions and AoE4!
Aussnon has never downloaded GameRanger either and it shows. BfME 2 and CaC: Red Alert for eternity.
Gameranger is still a thing? Haven’t thought of that since my days playing ghost recon 1 in the mid 2000’s
The range of the game is infinite.
All right, name me another rts.
Aww, I don't know why you deleted your reply to my comment. It was funny as fuck!
Well there's Age of Mythology, which had a definitive edition announced a couple of years ago, and which just today they made an announcement of an announcement (don't you love that those seem to be a thing now...) of more information coming up next month.
There's a new Company of Heroes game that came out last year, and a shockingly high-quality open-source RTS called Beyond All Reason, and an RTS-ish Dune game from 2022. None of these really appeal to me though, as I just love the gameplay style of the Age franchise. So I don't really know how strong they're going.
Last year also saw the release of the finished version of the massive Battle for Middle Earth 2 mod Age of the Ring. That's a game that you can't even buy any more, from anywhere, and it still has enough of a community to support that interest. (Admittedly, personally I would include BFME in the "rts games are all dead" category, but perhaps it's just not quite as dead as one would think.)
Stormgate is currently in closed beta!
