Gaming across generations: real-time strategy games

Without a doubt, dynamic RTS games revolutionized the 90’ game industry. How much has changed through the past three decades?

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans – 1994

No more waiting until the opponent’s turn ends! Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, along with the early titles from Westwood Studios, paved the road to the RTS genre we know today. Dynamic gameplay, rich fantasy world, and innovative multiplayer mode captivated contemporary gamers and made the release of the even more groundbreaking sequel possible.

Iron Harvest – 2020

Modern real-time strategies are no longer constrained by 2D graphics. Iron Harvest presents its dieselpunk world with a true 3D flair, giving us mighty mecha battles on screen. Although the core of RTS gameplay hasn’t changed since Warcraft, the addition of hero units or co-op campaigns makes winning each battle a more complex endeavor.
