“Real-time strategy returns to the throne.” — The RTS Revival. Scored 20/30.
Score Breakdown
The Review
Age of Empires IV proved that classic RTS still has a massive audience. Relic Entertainment built a game that respects the franchise's historical roots while adding asymmetric civilizations that play genuinely differently. The documentary-style campaign missions blend real history with gameplay in a way no RTS has done before. It brought a beloved franchise back from a 16-year hiatus and reminded the industry that RTS is not dead.
Fun Fact
The campaign features real-world documentary footage overlaid on 3D battle recreations, creating a unique educational-gaming hybrid.
