I dunno, I’m just not that interested in trying to bring back Starcraft. I think MOBAs largely replaced RTS for good reasons.
Making and balancing a competitive RTS is very hard, and SC being the champ means every other RTS tries to copy it, especially right down to the micro. Micro is considered the key player skill in RTS and I think MOBAs won because it’s much easier and more fun for players to manage the micro on a single hero unit than on several heroes and dozens of regular units.
RTS that try to reduce micro tend not to focus on competitive multiplayer so the whole genre has stagnated.

Anyone played this recently?
I played an earlier open beta and the game just felt … clunky.
Things felt too large, idk how else to describe it.
I really want it to work out, but it left me very underwhelmed.
there was an ad for some program at the bottom of their store page, and seeing it made me change my mind about buying it today
GearUP is theoretically a legit service but 99.9% of people won’t find any use for it at all.
I wouldn’t hold this one against them.
Those kinds of routing service providers helped me a bunch when I was playing a lot on us servers from the eu
The game will be free to play the August 13th according to their Steam page.
