Battle Realms

Fantasy setting

A real-time strategy game set in a feudal Japan-inspired fantasy world with a streamlined economy of rice and water instead of heavy base building. Peasants are trained into specialized warriors and powerful heroes, while Kenji's campaign follows clan rivalry and reclaiming a throne.

Age of Mythology

Economy and management

A classic real-time strategy game where you lead Greek, Egyptian or Norse civilizations, calling on god powers, heroes and mythical beasts like cyclopes and minotaurs. Its globe-trotting campaign following Arkantos and deep competitive multiplayer made it a genre favorite.

Age of Empires IV

Economy and management

Classic medieval real-time strategy with asymmetric civilizations, base building and economy management. Documentary-style campaigns about real historical battles sit alongside a competitive multiplayer scene.

Warcraft III: Reforged

Economy and management

You command Night Elves, Undead, Orcs and Humans through the early conflicts of Azeroth in this remake of the classic real-time strategy game. The overhauled look brings the classic into the present, paired with a competitive online scene that rewards tactical play.

Stronghold Legends

Fantasy setting

A castle-building RTS that mixes the Stronghold formula with fantasy units and legendary figures like King Arthur, Siegfried and Vlad Dracul. You build fortresses, manage your economy and fight battles across three campaigns.

Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

Economy and management

A real-time strategy game from Big Huge Games set in an original world blending steampunk machinery, magic and desert alchemy. Three very different factions, city building and giant units make for varied battles.

Populous: The Beginning

Fantasy setting

A real-time strategy game where you play a shaman who gathers followers and uses spells, terraforming and armies to defeat rival tribes across strange planets. Blending god-game ideas with direct control of a hero unit, it was a bold departure from earlier Populous games.
