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.

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.
