My Top 10 Strategy Games For 2024

If you're confused about any titles not being on the list: I am not including any projects I have personal stakes in because that would be a conflict of interest, and I am excluding games that seem to have fairly stalled development. Ideally the titles here will all be playable soon!

I want a dawn of war battle fleet gothic cross over game where you have space and land battles and you fight over multiple planets

I lost faith and interest in modern games. So many are just unfun vehicles for terrible monetización strategies.

To reiterate on SOSE2 - having the game in an updated engine is a big deal, since the original unfortunately gets to a point where it chugs really hard in longer games. The new engine along with some fancy updated visuals is precisely what the community wants.
Once the base factions are up to snuff, that's when we're expecting the new stuff to roll in. Even if it takes a long time. The original came out in 2008 and got its last major update at the end of 2018.

By now the “argument” of a small development team has no traction at all. Some of the greatest games of all time had tiny teams. Factorio, Minecraft, stardew valley are the ones coming to mind for me.

ANY CHANCE YOU REVIEW/ GRAY GOO? I WOULD LOVE YOUR INSIGHT

Immediately thought of BattleZone!

There’s one particular game that I don’t see many people talk about. Mainly because it’s an early access game and it’s not really riding the wave of any of the major RTS titles. It’s also not released anytime recently, only updated. It’s called War Selection. It’s got the premise of Empire Earth where you start building in the Stone Age and advance to the industrial age. However where it splits is that you have to choose which cultures to build into mid match. So you choose Europe or Asia leaving the Stone Age. And then you choose East or west Europe/ east or west Asia. And then you pick a real life country to play past that.

The game is incredibly interesting because of how the economy and the conflict advance. You get intimate with your enemies when both they and you specialize more and more the further you get into the game. It’s a shame nobody talks about it because it’s incredibly fun and doesn’t really get old/repetitive because the maps are randomly generated and you’re specializing into several different playstyles and then counter-playstyles.

FAF is the greatest one ever

Indie Developers will save the earth.

I wonder if sanctuary shattered sun will come out this year

It's sad that publishers nowadays need to be told to let developers have the time they need to actually finish the damn game.

Dustfront immediately remind KKnD 2 Crossfire, but modern and on steroids.

I wish someone make a remake of kknd.

I still can't believe that Homeworld brought 3 axis controls to RTS 25 years ago and we're celebrating games with the mechanics of Red Alert.

Maybe RTS games aren't popular anymore because there's been zero innovation in the core mechanics since Clinton was president.

your 'conclusion' had me laughing at the end.

Shame that SoSE is an Epic exclusive, Epic is a garbage platform and I do not reward companies who accept their exclusivity bribes.

Im badly excited for d.o.r.f , when will released ?

I pray for Dawn of war.
A new part or at least a remake / remaster of DoW1

Give me warrior kings 2 please

@GiantGrantGames RTS is very challenging in UE5, basic UE5 actors simply will not scale to an army and that's before you get into the nightmares of replicating that many units.
Stormgate has had to rewrite a lot of the source code

Beyond All Reasons seems to also be a good one thats been chilling from late 23 onward

Stormgate, mentions e-sports, all interest is immediately lost.

I wonder how Silica is defined in comparison to the rest of these titles. It's an awesome RTS/FPS hybrid

So we're still at junk. That's why we still keep playing Red Alert 1 & 2, Starcraft and Act of War.

Is storm gate's third faction actually anime girls? I will buy if yes.

It's not a new game, but have you ever tried Divinity Dragon Commander? Given the joy in your voice when talking about the merger of genres in Battlezone and Outpost Infinity Siege, you might appreciate it. Its a board game with some mild RPG elements, and then the battles are RTSes, in the middle of which you can fly in and fight in third person as a dragon with a jet pack. Is it a great game? No, but it is big stupid fun.

You sound funny

Does anyone know if there's any good tutorial to make RTS game in Unreal Engine 5?

First I’m hearing of dorf and I’m hype

No Bar ? No Sanctuary ? so bad , so sad

As someone who started playing strategy games at only 7 years old, this video featured far too many RTS games, hoped to see other subgenres

Frostpunk needs to be a TV show!

Theres a new sins 🤩

I appreciate the shit out of RTSes but they do absolutely nothing for me. Great video tho

Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance?

Well, some of them look promising, Homeworld 3 obviously. Unfortunately, the problem with new RTS games is that the vast majority seem like variations of better games you've already played and completed in the past. This video is an example of that. The future of the genre, if there is any, lies in Total Annihilation clones (FAF, LOUD, Beyond All Reason etc.).

I really hope Frostpunk 2 builds directly off from the city you survive with in the main campaign from Frostpunk 1, maybe even going far enough to allow you to import the city you survived with and have your decisions etc impact your start in 2.

Where is Manor Lords ?

'the fate of stategy games kind of sucked'. I hate to be pessimistic but this list looks like not much gonna change this year.

I highly recommend Against The Storm, not an army style rts but extremely engaging with an active development team!

Dude frogot the game called ARA

Beyond all reason

Some Units from D.O.R.F Looks Like from Metal slug morden army

executive assault 2

Empire Earth needs a remake! Such an underrated classic

bro check Sanctuary: Shattered Sun
