Halo Wars: Definitive Edition

Best strategy game ever

Halo Wars is probably one of the most underrated Halo games ever made. Taking Halo and turning it into an RTS sounds like something that shouldn't have worked anywhere near as well as it did, but somehow it just works. Building up your base, getting a massive army together and sending 20 Scorpions across the map to absolutely delete someone's base never gets old. The campaign is great as well. The story actually feels like Halo, the cutscenes are brilliant and the Spirit of Fire crew are genuinely some of my favourite characters in the entire series. And for an RTS that was made around playing on a controller, the controls are surprisingly good. Obviously its not perfect. The AI can sometimes have absolutely no idea what its doing, units get stuck on each other, pathfinding can be questionable and trying to get a specific group of units to go exactly where you want can turn into its own mission. It's also definitely simpler than a lot of other RTS games. If you've spent your entire life playing StarCraft you're probably not going to find Halo Wars particularly complicated. But honestly thats part of why I like it. You don't need a university degree in resource management just to understand what's happening. You build your base, make an army and go blow up the other bloke. Simple. The multiplayer was also some of the most fun I've had in a strategy game, especially when everyone stops pretending they're using tactics and just starts building the most ridiculous army possible. Halo Wars isn't the deepest RTS ever made. It isn't the most complicated. But its fun as ♥♥♥♥. Great campaign. Great soundtrack. Great atmosphere. And nothing will ever beat hearing: "ALL UNITS" for the 400th time.

penis (just don't like RTS games)

It feels like I'm in 2009 again! Ahhh so good. The music and everything. I'm home

Für 5€ ein Schnapper. Einfach um mit einem Kumpel die wirklich gute Kampange zu spielen. Ich mein, wo bekommt man heute noch Spiele mit echten Video´s :D

Starcraft lite. My favorite casual game.

I generally don't play RTS games myself because I find them to be either too complicated or just not fun to play in general (sorry, I'm built different) but this game...is very good! As a huge Halo fan this bridged the gap for me when it comes to RTS. Highly recommend to fans of this genre and/or lovers of Halo in general!
