RTS was born at the wrong time?Fiery Warhorse has been in beta for a week, but has become Steam's bright black horse

Twenty years ago was the best time for RTS, with Red Alert, War3, Interstellar, Command & Conquer and other classics popping up all over the place, occupying an entire era. Now it has become the worst era of RTS, Warcraft 3 remake was hit with the lowest score in history, and even the RTS games are pushed together to the niche cold label.

You can choose from a variety of different types of units such as aircraft, tanks, armored missiles, soldiers, etc. Whether it's a land and air linkage or a concentrated stream of planes, it all depends on the player's own choices, with a wide range of soldier choices paired with tactics, and a wealth of playability.

Unlike traditional RTS games, which have a maximum of 3V3 combat mode, the game supports 10V10 battlefield mode after simplifying the battlefield units. This is a great way to test the player's ability to coordinate with his teammates and to get the best out of them. For example, teammates put out scouts deep into the enemy camp, you can aircraft tanks follow the soldiers of the teammates to take advantage of the opportunity to crush the enemy army to open the breakthrough.

And this is also a game that allows players to play for a long time, as the game experience continues to deepen, more and more details can be excavated, and slowly gain a sense of accomplishment that can be obtained by different tactics.
