Gaming Best RTS Game?

[Skyline969]

Ok, so lately I've wanted a good RTS game for the DS - one that involves building a barracks, training fighters, etc. Basically a clone of Warcraft or Command & Conquer. I looked at Ys Strategy but the AI and controls on that game are horrid. I tried A Touch of War, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. So does anyone know of a good RTS game?

 

[Calafas]

I quite likes Lock's Quest. Give that a go. :]

 

[yikkyon]

Ninjatown!! It's like Final Fantasy XII Revanant Wings!
Which is like Warcrap!

EDIT: Sorry I meant Warcraft

 

[Orangegamer]

sorry for being such a noob
but what is RTS?

 

[ENDscape]

RTS = Real Time Strategy

I remember that Ys game, it was rts iirc.

 

[Calafas]

Real Time Strategy.

Also, as yikkyon said, try Ninjatown, and FF:RW.

 

[Praetor192]

Robocalypse is the closest thing you will get that is a balance of being fun and being a RTS.

 

[Skyline969]

So... Lock's Quest, FF:RW, Robocalypse, and Ninjatown? I'll take a look at them. Thanks, everyone.

 

[Santee]

well here's a list of all the rts games on ds


Real Time Conflict: Shogun Empires

Star Trek: Tactical Assault

Command And Destroy

Black & White Creatures

Glory Days 2

Heroes of Mana

Robocalypse

Lock's Quest

War! ?

ninjatown

 

[GeekyGuy]

Robocalypse and Heroes of Mana are about the only two quality RTSes along the lines you're referring to. Sure, there's Revenant Wings and Lock' Quest, among others, but if you want something close to Warcraft on DS, the first two I mentioned are what you're looking for. HoM, though, was difficult for me to get into. Robocalypse, I think, has done the best job so far with this type of RTS.

 

[Skyline969]

irpacynot, what about Command and Destroy? Does it cover it at all?

 

[MasterPenguin]

Locks Quest is purely awesome.

 

[Raven Darkheart]

heroes of mana sucked ass
revenant wings is good

i might try roboapocalypse soon

 

[kaisai]

whats Black & White Creatures?

 

[Edgedancer]

Black and White Creatures has had nothing announced in over 2 years.

 

[Skyline969]

Well, I tried some.
Robocalypse is ridiculously childish, but it's got that C&C element... kind of.
Command and Destroy is really slow, but seems promising.
Locks Quest isn't even a RTS. It's more of a touch-controlled hack and slash with... wall building.
FF12: RW isn't what I wanted, but it's still fun.

Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command you might want to take a look at. Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned already in the thread!

 

[litium]

Try Super Robot Wars W. Nice game.

 

[lonesome_killer]

Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command you might want to take a look at. Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned already in the thread!

B/C its a Turn Base strategy game, not an RTS

 

[SleepingDragon]

Lock's Quest is definitely a great rts game and pretty unique as well. Ninjatown is great also, with some comedic value thrown in. Unfortunately, if you thought Robocalypse was childish, you probably won't like Ninjatown.

Give Summon Night:Twin Age a try. It's a good rts with a nice artistic style. Nothing too fancy, but if you are into rts game (which I'm not) you might like it.
