Stormgate (By developers of StarCraft 2 and WarCraft 3)

Don’t know how many RTS fans we have around these parts, but this game is looking really cool so far and their Kickstarter campaign has just reached $1million of their $100 000 goal, after just a couple of days.

I can’t wait to play it myself.

sign me up, we need more of these RTS games. You can definitely see the traces of warcraft and starcraft in there, the graphics remind me a bit of League of Legends though.

I think the last new RTS I played was Starcraft II.

The world needs a new Starcraft game - and this is as close to one that we’ll get. Looking forward to playing it.

I’ve downloaded it, just need to find some time to give to a go.

its not too shabby, only 3 campaign missions available for free, all only the human race, you have to purchase the other three, however unless I am misunderstanding the roadmap for the game incorrectly, then the rest of the campaign missions will become free as early access continues.

So far the human race seems to most fleshed out, they have the most units from what I could see, the humans also combine starcraft terran with Command and Conquer GDI, with the humans being able to gain veterancy, and depending on the unit that enters a bunker, it chances what the bunker does/shoots, which I quite like.

The infernal race is definitely inspired by the zerg, having their version of “creep” only you don’t have to build in it, but it gives the units a type of “shield”, can also produce multiple units from a single “click”. And workers are sacrificed in order to build buildings.

The Celestial race is probably the most unique in my opinion, they do have a build system like protoss, having to build within an energy field, as well as “warping” units in, but they don’t really have workers in the same way the other races have, you don’t even need a worker to build, from what I could see the main building just warps in buildings, also the main celestial building flies, and can move about at will without having to lift off or anything, definitely can’t wait to see their campaign after that race is a bit more fleshed out.

Co-op missions and VS is available as well, so if anyone wants to try some co-op give me a shout, I am not very good though XD
