I play this on PS4. Impossible to find a multiplayer game and it’s sneaky by saying that lobbies have people in them. It’s just padded out with bots. Wish more people played it. Had some good matches.
As if you can't play on the PC from the sofa and as if their PC version were worse. There's a reason why mouse and keyboard is objectively better than the controller for strategy games.
@@BrettHollandTheJourney Well, EA is currently the only entity that is preventing us from having more C&C. Why? Ever since they lost their cash crops (FIFA and Madden) they've been selling themselves out to companies like Apple and Amazon. yuck.
This list should IMO be renamed top Console strategy games of the 2000s. There were no 90s games at all. Hell were any pre-PS3 and pre-Xbox 360 games other then Pikmen? And Fire Emblem: Three Houses wasn't the first FIre Emblem home console game to come west. And I seriously hope you want to keep handheld games and home console games on separate lists because that's the only good reason I can see for leaving Advance Wars off.
everyone seems to forget that Civ 2 was on the PS1 back in the day (and that was what introduced me to Civ), so no Civ 6 isn't the first big boy civ on consoles.
I always really liked Operation Darkness. It was a turn based WW2 strategy game involving Nazi Vampires, and a team of Allied Werewolves. You could shift to your wolf form and attack tanks for bonus damage. There was also a great leveling system that made it so even the minor generic soldiers could become great asset's.
I loved Populous and Centurion on the master system (or mega drive) back in the day. Years ahead of their time. Also Kessen and Kessen 2, Command and Conquer Red Alert… All excellent console strategy games
No love for the Xbox and PS2 exclusive Aliens Vs Predator: Extinction? The game that lets you create a hive and then go kidnap folks for a good facehugging :)
who doesn't want a face-hugger carrier. a giant xenomorph that carries several face-hugger eggs on it's back. a weekend of fun for the whole family right there 😳
You have been equating tactical games and strategy games in this video. They are not the same. Real-Time strategy and turn based strategy games have been mostly absent from consoles but tactical games, especially tactical RPGs, have had a strong history on consoles even going back to the 80's, several tactical RPG series started on consoles and were console exclusives such as Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Warsong, Suikodon Tactics, etc. Tactical games have never been absent on consoles so including Fire Emblem and Valkyria Chronicles on this list is a bit incorrect.
@@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer ah super jelly xbox seems to hit a point that I'm probably just going to build me a nice pc bc the games are cheaper and more variety
There was one for the Wii: played through it a decade ago - it was quite enjoyable. (Had multiple voice language options, so I played it with French voices and English subtitles - highly recommended.)
Dune 2, the grandaddy of real time strategy games, was actually quite playable on Sega Genesis. Probably because the game was relatively simple and didn't have layers of micromanagement and menus to wade through.
That was a good one, although I believe the list covers only games that were first developed for consoles; Dune 2 was a PC-DOS port, as far as I remember.
The immediate, obvious problem with putting a strategy game on a console is controls. A controller can't begin to compete with mouse and keyboard for strategy. I thought the alien vs predator game that came out on consoles was great, but good luck doing half of what you could with a PC strategy title in that game.
How dare you not to mention Sudden strike 4! Ancestors legacy! & umm Northgard.. But Sudden strike 4 alone is such of a great RTS game that at least deserves a mention!
I'm a little surprised Starcraft on the N64 missed the cut. Or maybe not so surprised. Also Advance Wars. (For which the Switch remaster has had its release delayed, quite understandably.) It's worth mentioning that the original PS1 did actually have its own mouse released, which was usable for a bunch of different strategy and RTS games.
My personal favorites were Ogre Battle for SNES, Ogre Battle 64 for N64, Master of Monsters for Genesis, Dark Wizard for Sega CD, Iron Storm for Saturn, Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics for Playstation, and every Disgaea release ever. Any one of those are more than worthy to make the list.
My top strats on consoles bfme 2 ,Kane’s wrath ,ruse , red alert 3 , halo wars ,and Age of wonders planet fall . I like civ revolution 2 was good as well
Are you my friend? I think you're my friend... many a night was lost at sleepovers to shining force and Genghis Khan on NES. Ogre battle was chef's kiss as well. Grab your consoles m8, we have an army to build!!
No one is really talking about it, but a game called Kingdom Under Fire The Crusaders was released on steam. Its a really fun strategy game, but it is kind of old though. This used to be a Original Xbox game, but was ported to PC.
I have a question anyone can answer this but is Lord of the Rings battle for Middle earth 2 on xbox one or at least compatible because It was my favorite Strategy game and Im wondering if its Still good
r.u.s.e deserve a remake or a new part, maybe with a modern setting. all together, I miss in RTS games some game mechanics like dynamic weather and more focus on sound design! that's my favourite genre and there is not a single RTS title out there that lives up to the technical standards of the current Generation they came out, either it's very difficult to make these kind of games or it is just not a big market for it and so are the budgets low.
I always refer to this genre as my least favourite but every one I've ever played I've become addicted to and gone on mammoth sessions,like pause would be cheating (it's still real to me DAMMIT).
As everyone else is shouting out to games... The Kessen and Dynasty Tactics games were incredible Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders was genuinely brilliant and some of the older strategy games ( KKND Krossfire, Command and Conquer, Warzone 2100, Dune 2000, Z and of course Hogs of War!) were genuinely fun even on consoles, though maybe there's some nostalgia filters in play there.
I loved Battle for Middle Earth 2 on the 360!
That games was beyond great. I had so many epic multi player games.😢
Yes
Epic game they really need to bring it back

no Brütal Legend? it's a hack-and-slash AND an RTS! plus Ozzy is in it. and Halford. and Jack Black. it's great!
Surprised Advance Wars didn’t make the list.
Because it's a list for consoles, not handhelds.
XCOM is also a tactical RPG.
KKND Crossfire for PS1 was phenomenal!
I loved that civ game quite addicting
Ruse was good for sure.
Ancestors Legacy?
I play this on PS4. Impossible to find a multiplayer game and it’s sneaky by saying that lobbies have people in them. It’s just padded out with bots. Wish more people played it. Had some good matches.

I really enjoyed Command and Conquer and Command and Conquer Retaliation on PS1 back in the day :)
Golden rule 1 with C&C ...you can't have too many tanks. :)
I got Tiberian Sun when I was a kid for Christmas. Wish they’d make more games like that these days.

Red alert , command n conquer , good ol PS1 days
I'm now a complete RTS junkie, but nothing will ever top Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. That game is legendary.
Yes, one of the greatest games ever
No honorable mention for kessen and kessen 2 on ps2... Am I the only person who thought they were amazing
No my friend im with you. I’ll never forget those flintlock barrages in kessen 1 and those cannon barrages were great as well
I've still got that gem stashed away. Toooooo many hours on it!!!!!
everyone seems to forget that Civ 2 was on the PS1 back in the day (and that was what introduced me to Civ), so no Civ 6 isn't the first big boy civ on consoles.
I remember trading to share the world map would black screen the game every time. Other than that, magnificent game on ps1!
Civ 1 was on snes and got me in to civ but I got it on the pc after that.

No love for command and conquer 64?
How about Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle?
No love for the Xbox and PS2 exclusive Aliens Vs Predator: Extinction?
The game that lets you create a hive and then go kidnap folks for a good facehugging :)
Loved that game back in the day
who doesn't want a face-hugger carrier. a giant xenomorph that carries several face-hugger eggs on it's back.
a weekend of fun for the whole family right there 😳
Miss that game,wish there were more of those avp rts games.

@@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer ah super jelly xbox seems to hit a point that I'm probably just going to build me a nice pc bc the games are cheaper and more variety
Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been on console a few times, the PS2 one was particularly good.
RTK should be mentioned in any list of strategy games. The oldest running strategy game of all time.
Iron harvest, spellforce 3 reforced and sudden strike 4
Bungie didnt make halo wars
XCOM 2 on consoles isn't stable (crashes and save file corruption). XCOM Enemy Unknown is very solid, however.
Thanks, I'll finally give it a try.
Why isn’t Anno on consoles, i love the series but i like sitting on my couch
There was one for the Wii: played through it a decade ago - it was quite enjoyable.
(Had multiple voice language options, so I played it with French voices and English subtitles - highly recommended.)
Advance Wars enters the chat.
And on that matter, Wargroove.
I actually loved Kessen and Kessen 2 ( 2 being the better one)
Very underrated games imo.

You got my like. Ogre Battle is the best!!
No Front Mission mention?
Frost Punk is no doubt one of my favourite games of all time.
I spent years and thousands of hours on lotr bfm2!!!!!!!!! Bring back the servors!!!!!
I can't believe you missed off Herzog Zwei. Shame on you
Absolute classic
Would love to see a middle earth 3 just saying
Just play Supreme Commander 2, Stellaris Console, and XCOM 2. Nothing else is needed.
Good list, but no love for Endwar?? Generic but the last bit of true originality from the Tom Clancy line!
Wargroove, you forgot Wargroove. I know you included Fire Emblem, but it's the best Advance Wars rip on PS4/xb1/Switch
There was an Alien vs Predator RTS for the original Xbox that was great. Alien: Extinction or something. It's been too long but it was a good one.
Mutant year zero... That game slaps richards
Sudden Strike 4 is quite delectable.
Damn Halo wars was good probably one of my favorite game ever
Halo wars sucked ass.
Surprised that halo wars 2 didn’t make it over halo wars 1 Probably because it’s much more difficult to master
My top strats on consoles bfme 2 ,Kane’s wrath ,ruse , red alert 3 , halo wars ,and Age of wonders planet fall . I like civ revolution 2 was good as well
What about Supreme Commander or Supreme Commander 2?
Remaster Lotrbfme !! I’d buy that game straight away for 100 bar with no changes as long as the server were online
That's cool except one problem it's not available on Xbox anymore Lord of the rings Battle for Middle Earth 2 I meaning
Shining Force on GBA or Genesis was amazing. Ogre Battle SNES. Gemfire on Genesis was great.
