The upcoming launch\u00a0of RTS giants like\u00a0Age of Empires IV <\/em>and\u00a0<\/em>Starcraft3<\/em> has brought a huge wave of excitement for potential fans. And the best games to get the first Real-time Strategy experience are numerous.\u00a0<\/span>RTS Games or Real-Time Strategy Games are a very fast-paced version of their progenitors, Strategy Games. RTS\u00a0games force the players to adjust and respond in a real-time scenario, unlike normal strategy games. This makes each game\u00a0very fast-paced and dynamic.<\/p>\n

While the official trailer of Age of Empires IV<\/i> has riled up many of the long-time RTS fans, it has also piqued the minds of the less experienced. However, difficulty in learning in a competitive culture can deter many. But there are plenty of options for new players to jump into, and here are some of them.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Age Of Empires II<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This title is easily the most iconic RTS to ever exist. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition<\/em><\/a> is a tasteful brush-up on Ensemble Studio’s original masterpiece. As one of the many iconic Empires throughout history, players have to skillfully balance resources as they progress through different ages. These resources are used to unlock better units and help build wonders like the Roman Coliseum. Meanwhile, players have to fend off opposing nations and take over resource pools all over the shared map.\u00a0Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition<\/em> gets a special mention but doesn’t get its own spot on the list as it can be slightly more difficult for newer players to jump into<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Total War: Warhammer Series<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Warhammer<\/em> franchise is one of the biggest\u00a0expanded game-verses that spans over many genres and forms of media. Thus, it is only fair for newer players to be wary of this title. But players can rest assured that Creative Assembly and Sega’s brainchild, Total War: Warhammer 2<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0is possibly one of the easiest titles for the first RTS experience. Not to forget the easy entry it gives you into the extensive Warhammer<\/em> fandom. This series is perfect for all RTS beginners<\/a>, especially Warhammer<\/em> fans.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>WarCraft 3<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This title not only holds credit for being one of the pioneers of this genre but also the sole reason for the existence of yet another. Launched originally in 2002, Blizzard’s Warcraft 3<\/em> is the original fantasy RTS.\u00a0It is also the first to introduce heroes and hero abilities to the genre. Its easy-to-understand nature has made sure that its player-base is growing to this day. In fact, a custom map called Defense of the Ancients<\/em> gained so much of a fan-following that Valve took upon the idea years later\u00a0and developed the first-ever\u00a0 Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game by the name of DOTA 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Warcraft 3: Reforged<\/em><\/a> is the recently launched official remastered edition of the game which is being regularly updated and fine-tuned. It\u00a0is easily the perfect place for any new players to start, be it through the offline campaign or with the robust multiplayer community<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>\u00a0StarCraft 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Speaking of multiplayer communities,\u00a0Blizzard’s StarCraft<\/em> franchise, or more specifically StarCraft 2<\/em><\/a>, has been dominating the competitive RTS scene for over 10 years and\u00a0shows no signs of stopping, even as the next title in the series, StarCraft 3,<\/em> has already been announced.<\/p>\n

Highly tense multiplayer matches are the key feature of this title. With a very diverse yet sharp multiplayer experience<\/a>, this game sits apart from the others on the list.\u00a0The StarCraft<\/em> series\u00a0has also\u00a0made many\u00a0RTS\u00a0like “Zerg Rush” and “Base Race” famous.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Company of Heroes Series<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Not all RTS games are set in make-believe settings. In fact, Relic Entertainment’s Company of Heroes<\/em><\/a> series prides itself on quite the opposite. With both parts of the series set in World War 2, players are given control of both sides of the war depending on the mission as they get in various iconic\u00a0operations like Operation Barbarossa and the liberation of France. Bringing a more realistic and gruesome take to RTS games, Company of Heroes<\/em> is sure to be the game for those who enjoy learning about the history of the Second Great War. And with the newly introduced cross-play feature<\/a>, players now have even more reason to jump into the game<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Halo Wars 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Newer players might be afraid of jumping into RTS games because they do not know any IPs. And the solution to that problem is \u00a0343 Industries and Creative Assembly’s\u00a0Halo Wars 2<\/a>.<\/em>\u00a0Halo Wars 2<\/em> is one of the lesser complicated modern RTS. It focuses on the core features of the RTS genre instead of shiny mechanics.\u00a0 The title is packed with vehicular action and iconic Elite units<\/a> and is bound to get players’ blood rushing. Moreover, the title’s\u00a0storyline canonically precedes that of Halo: Combat Evolved <\/em>and proceeds that of its predecessor.<\/i>\u00a0This game serves as the portal for any Halo<\/em> enthusiast to jump into the genre.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Command and Conquer<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

If any RTS franchise could be said to have it all, it is the\u00a0Command and Conquer<\/em><\/a> franchise. With games set in environments ranging from the setting of the famous IP of\u00a0Dune 2<\/em><\/a> to a hyper-futuristic Sci-Fi setting, and with availability from Mobile Phones to the most expensive consoles, this series has not once failed to satisfy RTS fans over the 25 years of\u00a0entertainment<\/a> it has provided. And with the recent launch of\u00a0Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection<\/i>, entry into the IP could never be easier. So regardless of whether one is a fan of vintage games or the latest media, regardless of whether they play on their mobile phones or their highest-end Desktop, Command and Conquer is the IP for anyone wanting to get into RTS. Oh, and did we mention the live-acted cutscenes instead of the usual rendered kind?<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Stronghold: Warlords<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Not all players aim to defeat their enemies in RTS using aggressive unit micro-ing and hyper-managed troop deployment. Some players wish to out-value opponents with superior resource management and\u00a0structural advantage. And for such kinds of players, Firefly Studio’s\u00a0Stronghold: Warlords<\/em><\/a> is the game. The Stronghold<\/em> Series has been famous ever since the first iteration for its grindy approach to war. More often than not, war is not fought by battles but by attrition. And the title is lauded for how close it has come to stimulating this reality. And the Stronghold<\/em> series even provides access to such an RTS experience on both PC and mobile.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Machines at War 3<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This list has had multiple franchises with Mobile playable variants available. Yet none of these hold a candle to Machines at War 3<\/em> as far as mobile accessibility is concerned. The medieval fantasy set title lets the player command a warring kingdom.\u00a0 In fact, many say that the game has the best UI\/UX experience among all mobile RTS titles. This game is easily the best option for primarily mobile phone gamers. The only fully 2-D game on the list, this title is bound to tickle your grey matter. Not to forget the old-school army units and\u00a0Commando-<\/em>esque look that is bound to\u00a0fill old-timers with nostalgia.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Total War: Three Kingdoms<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Total War: Three Kingdoms<\/em><\/a> is an RTS set in the 3-kingdom period of China. Players can choose a faction out of 12 to push to the top\u00a0and unify China. The title offers a unit-group-based gameplay, meaning that any player can have only specific units on the battlefield at a time. This slower approach to RTS allows newer players to get a hold of the game a bit more easily. The game features 2 game modes. One of them is a bit more story-like, while the other focuses on historic authenticity. Players can choose famous generals from history<\/a> to command and exploit, and each general, in turn, comes with specific units unique to them.<\/p>\n
