In the world of video games, as the saying goes, we can say that “colours for tastes”, since we have a great variety of genres about which we can decide which one to play with. While many of these are extremely popular, one that we feel is especially underrated is the RTSthe old strategy games of managing, collecting resources, building armies and fighting.
RTS or Real Time Strategy For its acronym in English, it is a genre that, unlike RPGs, in which battles take turns, here both players face each other at the same time and what has more weight is management. Obviously they are two incomparable worlds and the latter had their golden age at late 90s and the first decade of the 2000s. As if that were not enough, there have been great titles belonging to this genre, and below we are going to tell you what those gems are.
