For me, if I ever hear "card-based" or "soulslike" I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.

I'm also not a huge fan of modern "roguelikes" but I've sunk days into nethack and games like that.

RTS games, namely because I can't micromanage fast compared to some esports gamer hyped up on gamefuel.

    RTS games that let you issue orders while the game is paused are the only ones I'll play

    What are some examples of those? I like the CRPGs that are real-time with pause lol

    the new Wargame RTS (WARNO) lets you pause and command FINALLY i felt left out of the only cold war pure combat RTS

    only problem is EA and single player is still lacking

    also not sure if fully paused but everything is so slow it's effectively paused

    The only RTS I ever liked was lego rock raiders, and that's probably because I was a child with nothing else to do.

    Loose rock!

    A landslide has occured!

    I also dug Lego Rock Raiders as a kid. Come to think of it, I don't think I've played an RTS in about 20 years:

    • Lego Rock Raiders
    • Warcraft III
    • Age of Empires II
    • The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth (1 & 2)
    • Rise of Nations
    • Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds

    I never got too heavily into the "strategy" part--I just loved being able to have these battles play out with catapults and horsemen and the occasional Dodge Viper with machine guns (howdoiturnthison is forever burned into my memory). I particularly enjoyed how your units could get upgrades and rank up, and they'd carry across missions in BFME so you could make them absurdly powerful. I also remember the graphics being pretty impressive to me--I spent a lot of time just zooming in on units and watching their idle animations and stuff.

    I'm pretty terrible at RTS multiplayer but I love when they're in single player. Single player also lets the devs give you cool abilities and units that would be horribly broken in multiplayer.
