Definitely one of the harder charts to agree on. There have been so many RTS games since the dawn of time which has given the genre a lot of time to mature. Unfortunately, this is also one of its downfalls.
Due to the saturation of the genre, and the tried and tested RTS formula, what worked once isn't quite enough to please fans of the genre in this day and age. Many, if not most RTS games released today are rather lackluster in the originality department or try too hard to break the mould, usually falling flat on their face. Thankfully for us though, some games have broken the mould and stood out from the crowd over the years, really bringing the genre forward in areas otherwise neglected or thought impossible.
The following games are the ones Chart-Box believe have either stood the test of time, or totally redefined the genre overnight. They are held as the best RTS games of all time.
Leading domestic game companies have entered into an unprecedented competition to win orders for Starcraft, Blizzard's representative IP (intellectual property).
Weird MS is letting go of a good IP. I don’t mind it but hopefully the best dev wins and I’m not sure who that is outbid those.
What they are bidding for are exclusive rights to develop the IP. Microsoft/blizzard is essentially licensing it out to the highest bidder, not selling the IP.
I wonder if we'll see Starcraft Ghost come out of this. And if we do, I wonder if it'll be a free-to-play gacha game.
Given the potential developers, looks inevitable there will be free to play gacha versions. But given south korea’s love for starcraft there would be one that is inline with starcraft 1&2.
Might want to expect some sort of backdoor cheat that only south koreans know of lol 🤣
