StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty rolled over to a new season on June 3rd. The game is still going strong, despite having released way back in 2010. Mostly everyone is content with the game, but it would be nice to see Starcraft III. If you’re tired of getting Zerg rushed or want to try something new, here are ten games like Starcraft to pique your interest.

10 Warcraft III: Reforged (2020)

There is much outrage surrounding Warcraft III: Reforged. It’s a remastered bundle of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and the expansion The Frozen Throne. It sounded promising on paper. Remastering treasured games in high resolution is rarely a bad thing, though this one attracted more heat than anyone expected.

Controversially, Warcraft III: Reforged is a minimal upgrade with a low frame rate and it also removed key features like clans, LAN, and ranked ladder matches. Meanwhile, Blizzard Entertainment is working tirelessly to bring this game up to date. Putting expectations aside, Warcraft III: Reforged is still a playable standalone game.

9 Total War: Three Kingdoms (2019)

Total War: Three Kingdoms is one of the few real-time strategy games set in feudal China. It features a gripping campaign where players must amass an empire to win. Notably, this is one of the more recent entries in the list, making it stand out a little more.

The amount of detail that went into this game is extraordinary. Players will find themselves switching between vantage points multiple times as they micro and macro manage their armies to victory.

8 Star Wars: Empire At War (2006)

“My powers have doubled since the last time we met.” Star Wars: Empire at War is a game that you’ll grind tirelessly for the chance to amass a sizeable army. The story is well written, giving this game tremendous replay value.

Novices should be warned that they might not want to hop into Star Wars: Empire at War if they’re new to real-time strategy games. In fact, playing on the easy difficulty is somewhat difficult. That being said, though, these years later, conquering the galaxy is still entertaining.

7 Supreme Commander (2007)

After thousands of years, players are brought into what is known as “The Infinite War.” Supreme Commander is about rival factions competing for supremacy. You’ll command sizeable armies in this spiritual successor to Total Annihilation. Those who played Total Annihilation will find that this game will feel like second nature.

6 Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (2007)

5 Halo Wars: Definitive Edition (2009)

Real-time strategy plus Halo is a winning combination, and Halo Wars evidences this. The sequel is also a fantastic game, but the first Halo Wars is arguably the better game. As one could imagine, it contains a wide array of vehicles to command. T

he campaign for Halo Wars is especially fun. Here, players command UNSC forces in a series of tactical-based missions against the Covenant. To get the most out of Halo Wars, gamers have to get the Halo Wars: Definitive Edition as it contains all the DLC in an enhanced version of the game.

4 Age Of Empires: Definitive Edition (2018)

The difference between Age of Empires and Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is strikingly noticeable. The graphics have been redone in 4K, and the gameplay just feels more modern. Seeing a building collapse with realistic physics is eye-opening.

Age of Empires started possibly the best real-time strategy series in history (next to Starcraft). It’s ages and diverse cultures make it a memorable game.

3 Command & Conquer Remastered Collection (2020)

Now that Electronic Arts has released most of its collection on Steam, it opens a world of potential. Using the Steam platform, players can interact with each other and share games like never before. Moreover, players can get Steam trading cards, which can earn them Steam Wallet Funds.

Along with the influx of Electronic Arts games that launched on Steam was the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, which bundles up all of the classic Command & Conquer games like Red Alert into one package. The collection also contains all the expansions and enhanced 4K graphics.

2 Sid Meier’s Civilization VI (2016)

Although many would agree that Civilization V is the superior Civ game, Civilization VI is more accessible for console and PC players. Bringing the game to various consoles was a great stride for the IP, but some kinks need to be worked out.

Civilization V is more optimized for a keyboard and mouse. Civilization VI, on the other hand, has weak AI that begins to show its ugly side on lower difficulties. Civilization V and Civilization VI are by no means bad games, so it’s highly recommended that players try both.

1 Age Of Empires II: Definitive Edition (2019)

Welcome back to possibly the most historical Age of Empires game. Players who thought that one definitive edition was the end of the discussion would be surprised with this one. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition comes back with a whopping three new campaigns in 4K Ultra HD graphics.

Even better, the soundtrack has been revamped. Fans have never seen more polish for the series than this one. The Micro and macro-management of units are along the lines of Starcraft. Attention Starcraft lovers! Buy this game.
