Don't forget about D.O.R.F! It's another Command & Conquer-like game that looks like it was heavily inspired by Red Alert 2 in terms of its art style and graphics.
Actually, D.O.R.F. aesthetics are a lot more akin to a blend between KKND and older C&C titles. The granular pixel art and the colour palette is a lot more reminiscent of KKND but the units are a mix from Red Alert, Terminator, Valkyria Chronicles... Probably a whole lot more.
I am salivating over falling frontier, what has me excited is the supposed complexity of the strategic lair and the AI. If the trailers are to be believed, this thing is going to practice deception, baiting, lay traps, make faint attacks to draw you out of position all the dirty tricks a human would use. Damn I hope it delivers.
The 2 lord of the Rings rts games and "world in conflict" are still my favorite RTS games of all time. I wish they would have made newer Lord of the Rings RTS games for all the prequal movies etc.
Hey, I'd just want to point out. Anvil Empires is not an RTS. It's an MMO wargame. While it does have base building, resource gathering and strategic and logistical elements, those are all farmed by hundreds of individual players over the course of IRL days. Hopefully it'll be a good game, but I don't feel like it fits in a list like this.
They use one wrong game in their list so that there is some people who comment on the video to point out the mistake and thus helps the video visibility.
Too many RTS get the fundamentals wrong because they revert to the tropes of early RTS eg Dune/Warcraft III and C&C which are: 1. Wrong Scale in presentation 2. Micro'ing control schemes Real + Time + Tactics Should be much more about making deep tactical choices with units in real-time involving preparation, deployment, battle engagement, information war and so on. Imho too many modern RTS have the playing mastering the control scheme and units are sort of more akin to models on a table top than actual graphical representation physically of useful information eg movement units, time units all synergizing at the basic level of battle field wars. And imho real-time could be slowed down during combat for more information parsing at the peak of battle - most battles are won by logistics and planning in all honesty. Aside from that, I'm really liking Anvil Empires because it's adding a different spin to RTS with the MMO part and combining the tactical fighting in real time of many players with strategy, logistics, infrastructure and persistent wars like Foxhole.
Tempest Rising and Falling Frontier are the definite RTS front runners for 2024. Although a more realistic release date for both would be sometime in 2025.
Full Controller support please!!! ---- *Handheld* ----- gaming Pcs are growing in popularity. Great to sit back and play an RTS. Kudos to 'Age of Mythology Retold' for Full Controller support on PC.
Me to a mate: "Hey did you hear about Tempest Rising? Sorta C&C spiritual successor, might be worth wishlisting. Him: "Ehhh, could be good but I'll wait till its been out and reviewed, not too bothered." Me: "They just announced Frank Klepacki signed on for the OST" Him: "ARE PRE-ORDERS AVAILABLE YET?!?!?!"
Hopefully some of these live up to their potential - we need something to get over the unmitigated disaster that was Homeworld 3. Sanctuary looks very interesting, SOASE2 should be good, Tempest Rising certainly giving off Red Alert vibes, and Falling Frontier promises a lot (but has for a while without delivering yet).
RTS games are getting back to glory this year! Please cover Nuke Them All indie RTS, we just released an epic summer update with new units & gameplay elements. The game is inspired by classic Z and KKnd!
RTS games are so back this summer. I heard a lot about Tempest Rising, I am sure it will be great. However, did you ever check Gates of Pyre? It's still in Beta, but it should be out this summer too. The gameplay is quite similar to Starcraft2, but the lore is a bit better.
Just a heads up, Siege Camp also did another game called Foxhole which is the WW1/2 version of Anvil Empire but it been out for a while and it includes a massive War driven community as well
@@LTGamingUA-cam It seems our market is to small to attract an A tier developer/publisher, it's not like our little niche has been silent about the lack of content we're getting :(
How I wish RTS's loved me as much as I love them. Nice list, I've been following a few of these but my wishlist/future backlog could always grow a little more.
I'm most excited about Tempest Rising, Stormgate & Zerospace. Have zero interest in Battle Aces as it looks so generic, no macro and has no single player campaign or different distinct factions.
I would love an episode going into Stardock and how they are difficult behind the scenes. I used to love this company but some experiences ruined them for me.
@@LTGamingUA-cam I dont want to go into details other than i have had some unpleasant interactions with their founder. Nothing serious mind, it basically boils down to him becoming angry and lashing out in a way that made me change how i view them.
I have heard this before and of course no details needed! Something clearly very wrong with how they treat customers and even content creators at that company!
Are there any grand scale fantasy rts, or RT4X, like Sins of Solar Empire? Also Ashes of the Singularity is a good example. There are too much turn-based fantasy strategy games, (Dominions 6 is an excellent big scale fantasy TBS)but real time, or variable game speed with the ability to pause are not many(Spellforce 3 is one, but i think it is too low scale game) I think there is a need for this type of game: strategic zoom, like in Supreme Commander, or in Beyond All Reason, or in Sins of SE(without it there is no chance of real correct unit size scaling, like a human is 1,8 m, but a fantasy dragon can be 30-80 m long) Big maps(transport of armies can be done with teleport in late game, also flying units have a great advantage, so not a really big deal) A big unit cap, the minimum for grand scale is from 300-500 actual unit, maybe use the soft unit cap (upkeep/dwelling define the unit cap) instead of hard-cap.
Great list, per the usual! I hadn't heard of one or two of these, though there is one I've given up on entirely and feel that it's another "The Last Day" situation. @StutterFoxStudios Falling Frontier has been consistently delayed just before release ... for the better part of five years. I don't believe it's real at this point, and feel that what is there is nothing more than a tech demo that's being pitched as a released title. At this point it's just vaporware.
Not sure what your beef with Stardock is? I have been a user of Object Desktop for years. I have owned and played quite a lot of their published games over the years. Never really had any problem with them.
@@Andy.Gledhill.Models. they acted pretty badly towards me as a content creator in the beginning of the channel. I was a fan of the company until this episode. And you only got to look up their customer ratings to see is not an isolated incident 🤷♂️ but everyone can have their own experience.
@@LTGamingUA-cam I am not gaming content creator, so I cannot comment on that. Just checked some reviews on Trustpilot, and most of them are a result of the user not knowing how the software works, or how to properly un-install it. Personally, I have not had any problem, when I have contacted their support. I have also had problem questions answered on their forums. They do have an overall 4.1 out of 5 on Trustpilot. EG, I had a couple of times where Object Desktop kept telling me there was an update to something. When in fact, I had the latest version installed. I posted about it in their forums, and they updated the Object Desktop manager to sort it.
Where is BROKEN ARROW? its better looking then most of these games and is releasing soon. It looks like "World in Conflict" . Not sure how you leave that one out.
Dang you guys are over hyped on Fata Deum! Throwing it into a video about RTS games doesn't make much sense. There's probably another RTS game that could have taken that spot if you really had to have 12 for the video.
I find it very impressive you wachted an entire 14 minute video 8 minutes after it's been uploaded, with your comment being 4 minutes old.. so you watched 14 minutes in 4... Do you live near a black hole? Not sure, it might explain the time dilation.

That classic age of empires music 🎶🎵❤
Great info and list always, interesting about Stardock too!

I wonder if any C&C games will be made with the new engine 5 🤔 arguably the best games of all time!
Talking about Tempest Rising without mentioning Frank Klepacki doing music for it should be considered a warcrime
fata deum looks like black and white, though sadly without the creatures.
It's all sci fi RTS. We miss good fantasy RTS medieval and diverse like Battle Realms, Warcraft 3,
