Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
Tempest Rising Yeah, let's start with one of the coolest
upcoming RTS games overall.
We were waiting for something like this for years now and finally our wait is almost over.
Inspired by the greatest classic RTS games, Tempest Rising is set in a modern day alternative
history war scenario.
It features 3 unique factions, each with its own approach to combat and economy and offering
a variety of strategies.
Here you will take on the role of Commander of highly mobile and advanced peacekeeping
corps in two 15-mission campaigns that will allow you to customize your army for each
mission, as both armies seek to understand and control the mysterious but beneficial
Tempest vines that grow unchecked across the war-torn planet Earth.
Other dangers wait in the shadows, as the origin of the Tempest is revealed...
Uuuu...
Anyway, all three factions will be asymmetrical, each featuring distinct economy and play styles,
so C&C and Starcraft fans are cheering for that already.
Also skirmish, custom games, and ranked multiplayer matchmaking will be available, so you will
be able to actually measure how bad you play.
Men of War 2 First game was released in 2009 and now 13
years later we are getting part 2.
Here you will experience an epic story spanning two primary campaigns — Allies and Soviets
— against The Third Reich military power machine.
Game features highly detailed WWII locations, vehicles and characters: here you will encounter
45 battalions and over 300 different vehicles.
Game also includes multiplayer and a co-op mode.
You will be able to play in a vast selection of realistic skirmish and challenge maps,
providing enough room for strategic maneuvers.
So plan your attacks, team up with a friend, and fail the battle together.
Yeah, prove me wrong.
Anyway, the visuals are great and despite the fact that this game looks more like sluggish
Company of Heroes than Command & Conquer - the gameplay is far more fast paced and that is
one of the deciding factors why we might really like this game.
Barkhan Well, it may look like, but this is totally
NOT a Dune game.
Absolutely not.
This planet is not Arrakis.
And it's not teeming with sandworms, oh no.
These are all Sand Snakes.
Yeah, sand snakes, you heard right.
And they all gonna be sad snakes when the studio receives cease and desist letter from
some giant corporation now holding rights to the actual Dune.
Or not, maybe they do not even care.
All this situation somehow reminds me of the movie Transmorphers by Asylum studio.
It's a steal, but it's so clever and dumb at the same time, it's hard to prove anything
and it's not even worth it most of the time.
So you would probably be absolutely surprised when I say that Barkhan actually means a crescent-shaped
dune mostly encountered in Turkestan.
Well, it's actually a way better name than, for example, The Lump of Sand which you could
expect from a project like that.
So here you will be digging not spice, obviously, but rare minerals and will do that as one
of two clans.
Clan of Power or Clan of Will.
Which are not alternatives to Harkonnen or Atreides in any way.
All the resemblances are miraculous coincidences.
Anyway, if you want you can already try the Demo version of The Lump of Sand on Steam
and be eaten by some Sad Snake.
To be honest, the game doesn't look bad.
Not bad at all.
Terminator Dark Fate: Defiance I’ll be honest - this is one of the coolest
looking upcoming RTS games and the setting is a wet dream of my teenage years.
As I have mentioned in my previous video about C&C games, I have watched all the Terminator
movies and I liked three of them: the first two and the one with Christian Bale.
The latter wasn't a really good movie in terms of the plot, but I liked the anti-utopian
world controlled by evil machines.
Especially the scene where Bale enslaves a robot motorcycle.
So in the campaign here you will start humanity’s resistance against the machines by surviving
engagements with Legion and rallying others to your cause.
But in the post-Judgement Day world, the greatest threats may not come from the machines but
rather from the other human survivors.
Game will offer tons of fun stuff: from physics-based building demolition with realistic tactical
consequences to a modular component damage system where armor characteristics, component
malfunctions and hull integrity will affect if your troops survive.
And you can test that survivability not only in Campaign but also in online multiplayer
matches with real human opponents.
As I've said before - not the machines, but humans are your greatest threat.
Well, at least in multiplayer.
Rogue Command
This may not be the prettiest game in this list.
To be honest it is probably the worst looking one graphics-wise, but hey
who are we to judge someone's beauty?
Also the most important thing is gameplay and the latter is looking rather cool.
Here you will use the Engineer to construct the base and start building up your army.
Scout your enemy to form a plan of attack and control your units to outmaneuver the
enemy.
While RTS players will feel immediately at home Rogue Command switches up the game a
bit.
Instead of learning build orders, each run of the game opens new ways to play.
After every level you will have to choose between three blueprint cards that add a new
building to your arsenal, like factories, support buildings, turrets or super weapons.
All of that sounds really fun and... you know what?
You can download and play Rogue Comand demo absolutely free on Steam right now.
Sanctuary This is a Real Time Strategy Game set far
in the future where three factions fight for power on what could be a prosperous utopia
but instead is a warring hellscape.
Here you will take command of up to 1000 units under your direct control and map up to 40
by 40 km in size as a battleground.
The game will prioritize macroeconomics over mico-management, which can only mean one thing
- death of one or several of your units means nothing in a grand scale of upcoming battles.
Here are no spending limits, no speed limits, just the cold hard reality of income minus
expenses.
Anyway, the game is heading for a Kickstarter campaign someday in 2023, so if you like what
you see, consider becoming a supporter.
Global Conflagration Game is set in a fictional near future where
Europe is at war.
That is a really unfortunate setting which they chose way before russians attacked Ukraine.
Anyway here you will find a campaign that will explore an unexpected military incursion
in Europe as well as offline skirmish and multiplayer.
Global Conflagration has a traditional base building system implemented and that is for
sure a sign of a good RTS game.
If an RTS doesn't contain base building - it must be beyond awesome in other aspects.
But we all know that those games tend to fail a lot and are not as loved by the players
as those who have base building implemented.
Release date is not known yet, but if you stay with my channel - news will come to you
sooner or later.
So, subscribe.
Commanding Nations This is an indie title where you can build
anywhere and produce as many units as you want, as long as you can collect the resources
in need.
Play with one of the 3 unique Nations and destroy your opponents.
Developers say that they seek to introduce new elements, such as combining units, managing
their ammunition reserves and making sure to have them fallback to safe zones to resupply.
Also here you will find dynamic weather, night and heat vision, mist and interactive grass
that small units can go and hide into.
Anyway, Commanding Nations is coming into Early Access on September 30, so the judgment
day of this game is way sooner than you may expect.
Cold Engines For now just a few screenshots exist and no
actual gameplay video.
I asked developers for anything gameplay or at least video related,
but they said that so far they have nothing and they actually don’t think that they
will have time to make anything until next year.
That is suspicious.
Anyway, here you will command a small group of survivors, build a base where they can
hide from the cold and refuel their tanks, send harvesters to pull frozen, or damaged
wrecks to your base to get resources, plan attacks and ambushes based not only on your
enemy actions, but also the pitfalls of the freezing world.
Well, let's wait for gameplay to emerge and we can discuss it again.
The Great War: Western Front This is a rare specimen in a strategy gaming
world - a World War I RTS.
Here you will play a deciding role in history as you take charge in the Western Front of
the first World War.
And to raise your enthusiasm even more I should probably say that developers of The Great
War worked on original Command & Conquer games before leaving Westwood and founding their
own studio almost 20 years ago.
So here you will pick your faction and lead your forces to victory, by directing your
armies in gritty real-time battles and by guiding high-level decisions.
You will dig detailed trenches, research new technologies, such as poison gas and tanks,
and make decisions that will have a profound and lasting effect on your success.
Or failure.
More likely.
