The RTS Renaissance: Is It Really Happening? In Episode 2 of Critical Moves, we explore the resurgence of real-time strategy games and whether we’re truly in the middle of an RTS renaissance. We discuss how modern RTS titles revitalized the genre and attracted new players and why indie developers are the salvation of real-time strategy. Key topics include:
- The evolving mechanics and visuals that have made these newer games stand out.
- How indie developers are keeping the genre alive with fresh ideas.
- Whether nostalgia for classic RTS games plays a role in the resurgence, or if there’s a real innovation driving the trend.
We also debate if this uptick is a passing moment or the start of a new golden age for RTS games. As always, expect some differing opinions, a few rants, and a deep dive into what makes RTS games still relevant today.
