Tigers with crab claws? Flying lobsters? Kanga-mooses? Yes, please. Impossible Creatures, Relic's second game after Homeworld, is an RTS about smooshing animals together and making giant armies of them. Speaking of obscure games, if you’re like me and loved the SNES classic EVO: Search for Eden, this one's for you. Dark Reign: The Future of War (opens in new tab) There's a remaster on Steam (opens in new tab) too, in early access at the moment. With four factions, charming sprites, and a lot of time spent teaching your lowly worker units slash-you-in-the-face-no-jutsu, this game is an underappreciated gem. This means you have to carefully balance upgrading peasants to make an army with keeping your logistics going, because there’s no other way to create units.Īrmies gather Yin or Yang energy while battling depending on their actions, and hero units can be summoned by expending it. These form the backbone of your fighting force, too-put a peasant in the dojo and you get a spearman, put a spearman in the archery range you get a samurai, and so on.
Resource gathering is limited to rice, water, and horses, all of which are grabbed by automatically generated peasants. This 2001 RTS explores a battle between ninja clans in a system that feels familiar while still managing to delve into unexplored territory. Battle Realms gives me everything I've ever wanted all in one package: ninjas and werewolves vying for dominance, evil dragon necromancers, beautifully ripped low-poly FF7 lookin' dudes with giant hammers.
