Wait Chip's verdict · US updated 3 hr. ago

Good game, but it sits 100% of the way from its all-time low to full price. It drops harder in seasonal sales. Patience pays.

Better option Tempest Rising Deluxe Edition at $32.49 saves $7.50 against this edition. Shop ↗

About the Game

Classic RTS action meets modern production and performance in Tempest Rising. Inspired by RTS greats of the 90s and 2000s, Tempest Rising is a classic, base-building real time strategy game set in a modern day alternative history war scenario. It features 3 unique factions, each with its own approach to combat and economy and offering a variety of strategies for players of all stripes, deep and rewarding gameplay that keeps a focus on strategy while rewarding skill, and built-in customization options that allow players to approach the game their way in both single player and multiplayer game modes.

Take on the role of Commander in the highly mobile and advanced peacekeeping corps of the Global Defense Forces or the hard-hitting and desperate Tempest Dynasty in 2 11-mission campaigns that allow the player to customize their army for each mission, as both armies seek to understand and control the mysterious but beneficial Tempest vines that grow unchecked across the war-torn planet Earth. Other dangers wait in the shadows, as the origin of the Tempest is revealed...

Features

  • Relive classic RTS base building with fast, fluid, and hard-hitting combat

  • Command 2 unique rosters of units as either the GDF (Global Defense Force) or the Tempest Dynasty (with the third playable faction, the Veti, coming in the future.)

  • Experience 2 epic single player campaigns with voiced mission briefings

  • Wage war alone or with friends in 3 game modes: versus AI opponents in Custom Game lobbies, in 1v1 and 2v2 Multiplayer Matchmaking, or solo in skirmish mode with up to 500 units per team and two unique superweapons to compliment each faction’s playstyle.

  • Dominate the competition and climb the leaderboards in Ranked matchmaking, utilizing the Glicko-2 rating system
