It's the visual design. It looks way more polished, unit control looks very tight like it has SC2 dna. The unit designs look very clean, and have distinctive silhouettes. By comparison, don't know how else to say it but Stormgate looks very janky, the units look messy in large groups, it's not very readable.

I'm big into RTS and this also looks amazing to me too. Let's remove all the boring bits getting in the way? Just the strategy and battles? Awesome!

[@Kaiasky]

I think one thing that's really interesting about the draft mechanic (in this and ZeroSpace) is that it kinda gives a chess960 feel to things. Instead of knowing timings and build orders (if it's a 12-pool, my opponent's first unit will reach me at...) you kinda need to just play some RTS. For better and worse, like... the depths to which we understand SC2 strategy is only because the community has collectively played millions of games of the exact same matchup. But at the same time, there's a degree to which SC2 strategy boils down to "execute a Clem build order better than your opponent and then don't walk into their tanks" that I'm hoping this'll avoid.

[@majormajorasic]

SC2 just needs to adopt the minor deck buffs of Company of Heroes 2, just flat out rip the entire system and glue it into SC2.

[@MangaGamified]

[@Ljarvisone]

2v2 in this game looks like where the fun will be.

[@cubandarknez]

I will definitely play it, but I have seen previous titles focusing solely on competitive multiplayer struggle with retaining a player base. If there aren't enough players, then new players just get stomped by veterans until they mostly quit.

[@varyagace]

new RTS titles MUST have a way to play solo, if only to learn how the controls work. else the playerbase will dry up eventually as you say.

[@alphachicken9596]

I wonder why devs keep trying to focus on 1v1. 1v1 games are hard and intense by nature (chess, fighting games, starcraft etc), but shooters and mobas have been using 5v5-8v8 for a very long time now and its obviously very popular. Just enough for one player to have an impact but not enough that its necessarily your fault if you lose. Especially with how popular 2v2s are in starcraft it seems like a no brainer.

@@alphachicken9596 it's a little easier to design and balance around, easier to link players without connection issues, generally reduces toxicity within the community as you can't blame someone you're supposed to be working with, and allows for more individual skill expression. 1v1 games and team games both have their strengths and weaknesses, both from a technical and design perspective. I think for a lot of designers, they tend to find a concept they prefer and keep working at it. These guys might just really like 1v1 games, feel comfortable working with them, and want to make them. All my opinion, of course.

One thing I'll be interested to see is if pros do what you often see in fighting games, where they'll focus on 1 fighter (or, in this case, 8) as their 'main.' I think it'll be really interesting to see what kinda combinations pros commit to if this does happen

Love the look of this. It feels like a fair point to bring up that maybe a little map design variety could help in addition to the aforementioned draft type mode(or maybe just have that as default). It could save needing an update every other week as units need changed or dodge the need almost entirely.

[@kingdarius1611]

Adding a blink style mechanic is diabolical lol

[@Yoshoy]

Looks more like a real time tactics than a strategy game to me. I'm sure the fights are fun but I'm afraid it's going to be.. too scaled down? Reductive? You lose so much when it's "just" fights. The uncertainty if a drop will be detected. Options to prevent harass besides moving units to prevent it. Building placements and worker/army production balance just to name a few. A lot of complexity is lost, but I'm sure new complexity such as draft mechanics are introduced as well. Sorry just some rambling thoughts/first impressions.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

Well i agree, but speaking from the pespective of someone who loves watching SCII games but could never imagine playing it for fun, since its just far too stressfull for me, this kind of game could hook me up. I dont want high levels of complexity, i want something i can enjoy and relax after a days work. Which is why i am also playing games like Chivalry 2, Diablo IV (i got really hooked up with this season) or direct strike. I do also play more complex games, but they either tend to be turn based, like the total war games, or single player builders, like Oxygen not included. In a nutshell, complexity is not always good, especially for casual gamers.

[@TheRecurrence]

This looks super fun, love the lack of races so you can make any composition. Lots of expansion potential too.

[@ToTheNines87368]

Visually this one looks way better than Stormgate and zero space. Looks very responsive too.

[@alexbernat5952]

I like how palatable this will likely be for beginners and how cleanly the developers can focus on balance and gameplay without too many bells and whistles involved. And I like the moba feel, it's like playing a moba as the creeps rather than the hero units! Makes me think also about how fun a roguelike single player mode could be for an rts, unlocking cool weird unit comps and wacky synergizing upgrades as you play, which might lower another barrier for entry if people don't want to do pvp but still want to dip their toes into the genre!

[@DJ-3maj]

Good idea, I hope they add a singleplayer campaign at some point

[@edwinboswinkei2297]

I'm old, but for me the best parts of RTS is always the base building itself, starting from 0 building up expanding and then clearing the maps. C&C/Warcraft/Starcraft/total annihilation/Dawn of War i'm sure there are others, they also had so much story. I hope long games and build ups in RTS's come back into new games. Until then I'll keep it with BW and Sc2 as a viewer and casual player. Graphic wise this game feels very cartoonish same as Stormgate, made for a younger age in my opinion though that's pure taste.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

Well there is Age of Empires, which is a slower game, more focused on building than SCII imo.

[@しらこ-465]

I have the same thoughts. I was really looking forward to the new RTS games, but none of them look like they will be better to watch than BW or better to play than SC2/War3.

[@Yayadays111]

It's definitely a shame. I feelike base building aspect has been specialised in other sub RTS genres like tower defence or resource management Sims game.

[@MangaGamified]

If I want base building I play Tower Defense Games or games like They Are Billions or Cataclismo, as everyone said, this low niche of such gamers had already a saturation of RTS games from tripple A devs to indie devs. yeah we should have another 2-digith RTS game.

[@betman6774]

Agree with everything you said.

[@PopKMedia]

Cool game! Two things i would like to see. 1. positioning spreads with a click-hold-drag move command like in total war. 2. Less fog of war. For newer players, fog of war simply means base trades or only using the recall unit

[@sprogmcjob]

feels more in line with a moba than an rts (not talking mechanics as those are rts)

[@MangaGamified]

I remember playing an RTS with it's own gimmick, you have one main/mother ship, where it's mostly the one gathering/stealing resources, it can also attack and is fast. And you can and only spawn units in your base and captured points. I'm not too sure if this is called RTS, it's like those old PS1 helicopter games, where you canture/defend points, and your heli can die and respawn with upgrades intact. I think its not exactly like S2 or battle realms where when you run out of resoures you also stop spawning new units. With this type of RTS your main unit still spawns and keeps all self-upgrades.

[@DashBlue]

I've always been interested in the idea of a micro-focused RTS, just all about the units's, like in Day9's game I hope this game does well

[@HenriqueRJchiki]

[@김동훈-v4v]

A bit more development in design, and I fell like this would be a banger of a game! I agree with you with the 'guns with legs', cause I get all these different units have different abilities, but all I can see are just small lumps with slightly adjusted shades. Except for that big ass tentacle eye, most of the units look bland. Hope the devs are willing to breath life into the units and their lores. That's what makes a game more lovable imo.

[@jplayer073]

Agree, these units aren't nearly distinct enough. Many of them look very difficult to discern.

[@wuschu5563]

I think most units are diffrent enough. With one look you can recognise snipers, scorpions, the small tentacle guys, blinkers, recallers, the anti-air that looks like a small cyclone, the fast shoting one like small diamondbacks, etc. There is still room for improvement of course, but most units seems pretty distinct to me already.

[@Deadlychuck84]

Does the game flip the camera angle to keep it consistent between matches or does the top right spawning player play from this same camera angle? It seems like it was the bottom left player's prospective in every match

[@chaddunn6334]

When you play your perspective is always from the bottom left.

[@Nil-js4bf]

[@SaccoBelmonte]

Wow that one looks so good. Focused on fast micro. Love the mechanics so far and the units are really good looking, animations are very good too. It feels right at home and can imagine it being real fun to watch once we see players with world class micro skills.

[@kathorsees]

I like the idea of reducing the APM tax on players - mechincs like building workers manually, injects, chronoboost, etc. are literally just APM sinks. Not having to split your attention between your base and your units makes the game a lot less stressful and means you can focus solely on microing units, positioning, battles, etc. However, losing all base-building, upgrades, tech research, etc. just feels sad. It's removing a core part of the player fantasy of RTS. Why are battlecruisers and carriers so beloved in SC2? Because they're these massive, expensive ships that take a long time to get to, but are very strong. And building up to the required tech level is literally the emotional build-up that makes them feel so valuable and significant, it's what helps you emotionally invest in your units. If you could build carriers 2 minutes into the game, they'd feel cheap. And same goes for the setting/lore/theme of the game. To use board game terminology, this feels like a euro-game, while classic RTS are always "ameritrash". Meaning, this game focuses heavily on pure mechanics, and the theme is paper thin. There isn't a fictional world to get excited about. IMO, this is terrible - this hinders the emotional investment even more. RTS games lean hevily into the setting, be it fantastic or historical. Take Warhammer 40k, Total War, Starcraft, Warcraft... Picking your race/civilization and "cosplaying" it is a huge part of the appeal, of the player fantasy. Remove that, and you basically get checkers or Rocket League. The setting feels very casual, like a mobile game, but the genre is very hardcore, and I don't see this discrepancy working out well. To put it very bluntly, if my game pieces are boring, the game too becomes more boring. People want to see a tyranid telepathic space-parasite duke it out against a dark eldar hoverboard BDSM-lord. They don't care whether gray high-HP circles will win over brown glasscannon triangles.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

[@venomsouls4478]

I think this is an issue that needs to be adressed by proper game design rather than reducing QOL features. No one who even remotely wants to have success with their game would revert controls back into the 90s. Just make the objective so that you have to split your army in order to win. Have several points of interest that reward splitting + multi tasking. That way you can counter deathballs.

[@FORtheSWARM1000]

Selecting all units vs selecting limited units isn't an outdated design choice, it's just a different one that makes deathballing substantially weaker because of the amount of extra focus needed to control it. Being able to select all units isn't QOL. It's something that makes the game fundamentally different, and is probably the single biggest difference between SC BW and SC2

[@venomsouls4478]

@@FORtheSWARM1000 You must be joking. Limited unit selection was a thing due to technical limitations at the time. Not because developers thought having to select groups of units individually is a fun mechanic. Name one succesfull modern RTS that has limited unit selection. Bloated apm requirements for unit control is nothing we should aim for if we want the genre to have a future. Just design your game to reward army splitting. That would be innovative.

[@FORtheSWARM1000]

@@venomsouls4478 Being able to select a limited amount of units was a conscious decision, at least according to Patrick Wyatt, who worked on both WarCraft and Starcraft. The ability to select all units existed, but they decided against it because they wanted more tactical movement than globs. Limited selection makes individual units more valuable, and is a way to reward army splitting. You can still deathball with limited unit selection, its just slower, and requires attention, which makes it weaker but still viable. Limited selection of units is neither bloating apm nor hindering the genre from having a future. It is just a different design. People that have played RTS games would get used to it in a few games, and people with no experience wouldn't have the expectation to select all units. Limited selection isn't the game killer people make it out to be.

[@eldenbling2615]

[@Red-wb5jj]

I don't like that the base building aspect is completely removed. I think building and planning a base is one important part of each RTS. So the fights are cool, but there is no base building at all. That's the reason why it won't reach so many people. It's like having a shooter game without a multiplayer. Or like a hack & slay without items. It feels now like a MOBA with an army instead of a hero. Will find its fan base, but it's nothing SC:BW players, Age 2 players, C&C Generals players, Warcraft 3 players, or Dawn of War 1 players looking for. And this game is fast-paced. How good that worked in SC2 we have seen for many years. Good luck with this game!

“It won’t reach so many people” is crazy reductive. More mechanics doesn’t automatically mean better for attracting an audience.

[@MadDash84]

@@zaxtonhong3958 I think this assessment is correct based on the data. Traditional RTS enthusiasts are going to find fault in the game's lack of dimension, but this format is likely to capture a much broader casual audience. Whether or not there will be enough depth and variety in the gameplay remains to be seen, but it already looks like the format caters much better to the monthly MTX update model. The game essentially looks like a marriage of StarCraft 2 and Warcraft Rumble.

[@ExtraordinaryWordSalad]

I'd argue removing the base building aspect is a strength in this case. Like there are oodles of people who enjoy the tactical and micro-focused aspects of RTS games and want that primarily or are new to the space and are intimidated by the seeming complexity of a more traditional RTS. Really the one major problem I think they need to address is new player onboarding. 1v1 and 2v2 pvp formats no matter how short and punchy are an extremely punishing way to onboard new players they need an engaging campaign or at least a well designed Coop PVE or AI Skirmish mode to dip RTS curious players toes into the space without letting them get discouraged by a string of losses to a human opponent on their first few days. Like to return to the personal appeal here: I play a lot of Zero-K on the spring engine its from the same lineage as sup-com, total annihilation, beyond all reason and the like but its laser focus on making it so that you focus on fighting your opponent rather than fighting the UI or unitutive knowledge checks, where you just have to know that X does bonus damage to Y like in Age of Empires II-III-IV. This allows it to focus more purely on the choices that matter and the fighting for information, control, and resources that make the game one of the most engaging RTS I've ever played. How zero-k does this I could write a small essay about but the game's creators already wrote it better than I could so you can read their posts about if if you want. But a quick example is that they reduced the complexity of the Economy so you don't have to focus as much on the macro details and can instead focus on the micro. Energy and Metal and Build-Power are spent at one to one ratios. (Build Power is literally just a measurement of your ability to spend your other resources doesn't have a perfect translation to Starcraft though you could compare it to having a lot of larva as zerg or capacity in your production buildings as Terran or Protoss to spend your bank away.) If it costs 70 it takes 70 metal, 70 energy, and 7 seconds in any factory (Which all have 10 build power), 3.5 if you boost the factory with one caretaker which also has a buildpower of 10 . Simplifying the economic macro allows for the early game to focus more on fighting for information and map-control against your opponent

I honestly think RA3 did good with dumbing it down. workers only mine, bases build everything (but differently), units eat resources while producing, which means queue-ing up is free. There was no supply tho, maybe it would've benefited from that..

all looks cool but my inner sceptic can only look at this and see them micros/dlcs in the form of 'unit packs' that are subject to 'op meta of the season/month' and a p2w game in the end. i hope i'm wrong tho

[@samaeltheangelofdeath]

Haha dude ummm so, is you umm does Speed up the play time on the Video like 2x, is that 4k in 480?

[@GameDogLeader21]

[@marczwander893]

[@Kamilkk2007]

Please more battle aces! :)

I think they need to slow down the unit production times, its too fast, kind of makes it so you constantly are clicking unit creation. Also a few randomized map events or some map points of interest would be nice, like resource pickups, destructible rocks, mercenary camps. They can even make it so you have a side deck of 3 or so units and then a building in the map where you can produce said units. Why no building? Why not make a simplistic building system or make a building deck too?

The execution looks very good, but the concept is not my kind of thing. I never liked footman frenzy

[@Alskaskan]

It looks stripped down, which I appreciate, but I do hope that it is not too stripped down to such a degree that it loses strategic gameplay in favor of purely tactical, or that the strategy boils down to rock-paper-scissors

[@akosbajka7031]

I really like the huge army battles. 🙂

[@operationkilled]

Sooo... This game (Battle Aces) its like Dawn of War I and II (Leaning more on DoW II gameplay), me like.

[@venyakrabov]

Looks fun to play. Can this be?

[@Asango]

This just feels like Planetary Annihilation 1v1

[@haakonglindtvad5489]

So no basebuilding? This is just dawn of war 2?

[@VeryBadPlayerTV]

Not gonna lie the fact that it auto ends at 10 minutes makes me not wanna play. Within my last few sc2 games I played 2-3, long 35-50 minute come backs.

[@longwalker1]

starcraft 2 but i dont have to macro! yay!!!!! excited for it

[@nimpichu3711]

The art style seems so much better than stormgate

[@matthewclark7955]

Looks fun tbh

[@Emiltecknar]

They made marine arena to a full game

[@Rawsheeve133]

with no macro in the game, it looks more like a mobile game
