Gather, build and command in real time: RTS strategy demands vision, management and fast decisions. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Warlocked on GBC is a rare portable RTS with fantasy troops to command. Build buildings and send troops in real time on a GBC screen. Ambitious and unique in the catalogue."
"German release of Command & Conquer Red Alert, the legendary RTS pitting Allies against Soviets. Tesla coils, chronospheres and Kirov airships became genre symbols. Excellent real-time strategy game, as engaging on PS1 as in the PC version."
"An N64 port of Blizzard's sacrosanct StarCraft, a feat in itself. Three races, Terran, Zerg and Protoss campaigns and even the Brood War campaign. Micro-management suffers under the pad and the visuals are shrunk, but the cult strategic depth is fully preserved. A technically impressive transfer."
"A surprisingly approachable and readable Pokémon MOBA, ideal for quick matches. The free-to-play model pushes monetization and balance gripes surface, but the concept works better than expected."
"A little-known Japanese real-time strategy by Omega Force with an original formula. A genuine genre curio, pleasant for fans of obscure RTS games."
"Tiberium Wars on 360 shows a C&C can work on a pad with a clever radial menu and three sharply distinct factions. The campaign stays tasty and the live-action cutscenes keep their wonderfully cheesy charm."
"R.U.S.E. is a Ubisoft military RTS with gameplay based on deception and war ruses. Large-scale units, zoom from satellite view to battlefield, competitive online. Original and demanding for RTS fans."
"R.U.S.E. The Art of Deception is the Ubisoft military RTS based on deception and war ruses. Large-scale units, satellite zoom, competitive online. Original and demanding for real-time strategy genre fans."
"WarCraft II The Dark Saga is the PS1 port of Blizzard's legendary RTS. Orcs and Humans in an epic Azeroth, base building and real-time battles. Successfully adapted to the controller, difficult but satisfying. A remarkable port of a foundational RTS PC classic on PS1."
"PS1 port of the PC RTS Dune 2000, remake of Dune II. Resource management and battles between Atreides, Harkonnen and Ordos on Arrakis remain captivating. Less convenient than PC with the pad but Dune's universe makes the strategic experience interesting despite constraints."
