You guys are the only channel I found that talk about actually obscure, unique, real hidden gems!

I missed the original Rome total war, I was 14 at the time and still tied to console, recently picked up the remaster in a steam sale bundle, it is very good.

@Grandmastergav86 Ай бұрын

One of your best lists IMO Deserts Of Karak still has incredible "unit chatter" and is somewhat underrated. I personally love it just as much as HW1 and 2. Warzone was brilliant too. Any love for Dark Colony?

I wish Bungie stuck with their RTS games. I remember reading the early prototypes of Halo being RTS but of course changed to FPS. I suppose we did get Halo Wars further down the line. Such a shame PC users had to wait a long time for it.

It's great you selected Warcraft II as I did not think I or III were as good of games. Also very happy to see you included Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga as it was a very fun game. Others I think maybe had a spot in here would include Kohan Ahriman's Gift, Dungeon Keeper and Battlezone.

Metal Fatigue. A great game. I could also recommend The Tone Rebellion and its stellar soundtrack.

Lords of the Realm 2 was Total War games before Total War games existed, but with elements Total War still haven't tried playing with. Nothing ever quite like it since.

Warlords Battlecry 3 is just easily the best one here, It's one of my favorite strategy games of all as it just have great features, love the hero systems they are awesome, how you can keep the hero and level it up as long as u want to play it, keep units trough retinue and so on, not to mention all the races the game has which is great. If there is one game id love ti see getting a sequal, or a great remaster, then it's Warlords Battlecry 3. Spellforce 1 was a really great game as welll, had a lot of fun in it, personally I liked Spellforce 1 more than the later ones, I just feel it was better, the gearing/hero systems , the UI and so on. And one mode there that was really cool was the one that had a lot of maps in it, and one main hub, and you could switch between em, unlocking new ones depending on the character level and what you had completed. The later Spellforce games just never caught me the same way Spellforce 1 did.

@LTGamingYoutube Ай бұрын

Yep both stellar games. I completely related to your point on Spellforce, never got as hooked again with that series - Tom

Seeing Earth 2150 on the list made me think of another old favorite of mine, Dark Reign. I played them around the same time (well, the predecessor to Earth 2150) and really enjoyed the two of them. Thanks for the great list!

i had just mentioned Warzone2100 couple of days ago glad to see it represented here it is a shame that it was overshadowed by C&C back in the days.. could have been a really popular one with possible continuations... sadly studio went bancrupt so we will never truly get one Another Gem for me in my Childhood was Dune 2000 another great game that was overshadowed by C&C

Ah there is Metal Fatigue. My god it is so fun. Earth 2150 was crazy hard for me as a child tho. You realy have to take a look into Thandor: The Invasion. Sure it only has 1 Faction and is not that tactiacal deep but it has SO MUCH Unit variety. Hard to get running nowadays tho.

I’m relatively new to PC gaming, I’m finding that a lot of the older stuff has a rich modding community, but there’s a learning curve. Think you guys could make a primer on mods, not so much a how to as a what and why?

Supreme Commander was the first game that I played (or really have played since) that made use of a dual monitor PC setup. I found myself rarely looking over at the world view map but I thought It was cool nonetheless.

Oof remember reading the Warzone 2100 PC Gamer article over and over again and played the demo that came with the magazine CD, but sadly they never sold it at the local computer store and didn't have internet access back in the day. So sad I missed out on that one. Spellforce Campaign is amazing, it's so good narrative and fun combination of RTS and RPG that feels natural, loved that game, not that big a fan of the sequels tho, don't know why but they never connected the same way.

earth 2150 was great. loosing a mission did not mean loosing a campaign. however warzone 2100 is also a true gem. even more customization for units. also predates earth 2150 oh wait you mentioned both of them also in warzone 2100 you can recycle units and next unit that you build will get the same experience as recycle one

Earth 2150 was such a shame! I must have owned three different versions of it over the years and there was always some kind of problem that either made it crash, not run at all or have a massive amount of graphics glitches. I have never had as many issues with any game at such a basic level. When I eventually got it to run more recently what killed my interest quickly was how extremely slow production was. And once your turn up speed everything just looks wrong... Hmm, now I want to give it another try ;)

Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds didn't review well on release and in many ways this was deserved. It felt lazy and having X-wings just floating around when not in combat didn't feel very 'Star Wars' at all.
