in short, I love the design of the Wargame games, but feel that they’re very hard to get into thanks to their learning curve. I’d never played its predecessor, and my experience with Eugen’s games had left me with the utmost respect for their mechanical design, but frustrated greatly with the accessibility of their games. I’ll admit, I was more than a little skeptical when I first heard of Act of Aggression. | In Early Access | To Be Released in September 2015 I want this list to be as comprehensive as possible. If you know of other games not listed here, please post information about them in the comments or contact me via twitter, Facebok or email. I hope you see at least one that interests you! I’ve covered some of these games in previous Watchlist entries, but know much more about many of them than I did previously. So, without further ado, I present my watchlist: a list of RTS games that I think people might be interested in. One of the bigger issues RTS seem to have these days is simple recognition: it’s far too often that someone will see a great game brought up in conversation and express that they’ve never even heard of the title, they would’ve loved to play it if they’d heard of it while it still had a community. As an avid RTS aficionado, I make it a point of honor to seek out and inform others of the exciting (and maybe sometimes not so exciting, to be fair) developments in the RTS genre.
No one has time to keep up with every game being produced these days: it’s often hard enough to keep up with the onslaught of AAA titles (mostly shooters or MMORPGs these days it seems, though action/adventure titles have seen a resurgence of late).
