This year’s Summer Game Fest had tons of announcements, but amidst all the flashy reveals, I noticed an interesting trend. Real-time strategy games are on the verge of a massive renaissance. I was able to go hands-on with three different RTS games, and to my surprise, each brings a wildly unique approach to revitalizing the genre. Stormgate carries on the legacy of Starcraft with a dynamic asymmetric approach, Battle Aces tries to make RTS approachable to everyone, and Age of Mythology: Retold revitalizes one of the most important games of the genre.
