challenging strategy
its great just be careful on mission 10 its hard
Simply a great game. Halo Wars: Definitive Edition is proof that you can make a fantastic real-time strategy (RTS) game set in a beloved sci-fi universe. There’s no need to overcomplicate it—it is just an incredibly fun, polished, and solid game from start to finish. Whether you are a hardcore Halo fan or just someone who loves strategy games, this spin-off nails the atmosphere perfectly. The campaign is engaging, the cinematic cutscenes are gorgeous, and the base-building and combat mechanics are smooth and easy to get into. It might not have the extreme, overwhelming complexity of some other PC strategy games, but that's actually part of its charm. It gets straight to the fun part: building your army, controlling Spartans, and blasting the Covenant. 9/10 — No complaints here. It is just a genuinely great game that holds up amazingly well.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 15: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Always a good kill of time when you aren't really sure what you want to be doing rn. Plus it's fun to build up pointlessly big armies.
Pretty simple RTS, great for beginners! Lacks some modern features and has questionable balance, but I like it.
Me encanta este juego, lo jugué por primera vez en mi xbox 360 y no deja de ser una joya con el paso de los años
Un juego hermoso que expandió el lore de Halo más allá del Jefe Maestro y Cortana.

Halo wars in a nutshell: Play the covenant team Have a perfectly well constructed army of every element have your whole army and base get wiped out by master chief drunk driving a wraith 15 seconds later 10/10 would play again
It really is a really simple RTS, that can be picked up and played with little to no prior experience needed. Its decent, nothing groundbreaking, it does the job and its still rough around the edges sometimes, it really shows its age from time to time. However, it can be bought for incredibly cheap on sale, and even though that it really is a short game that can be completed on one sittingg (around 5-6 hrs) if you like halo it shows a bit more of lore that you might enjoy. I had fond memories of this game from when i was a kid playing on my 360, so i am clearly biased, but it really doesnt hurt to try it.
