Blizzard didn't make Warcraft 4 so some dude did... Honestly this is a really well made RTS with a very solid foundation, which comes as no surprise since the Developer behind it created Spintires. The game is probably more similar to Warcraft 2 but is clearly also inspired by Warcraft 3. Currently there are two modes "Classic' and 'Hero'. Classic Mode - Destroy enemy. There's also NPC's which attack you at night if you enable this option. Currently there's no hero in this mode which I'd like to see or can enable/disable pre game. Hero Mode - Control 1 Hero like a MOBA and the AI builds your base and units for you which you can then rally with your hero. Game is locked at 60 fps, playable for sure but I'd like to see this unlocked if possible. Exclusive Fullscreen mode is super laggy for some reason even at 60fps, Borderless Fullscreen is fine. My other teething issues such as UI are on the roadmap, its functional now though for sure. This is a simple to learn and hard to master game, I like how there isn't heaps of units and buildings like many other RTS games which can be quite intimidating. I understand more will be added in the future but it's not going to be an overwhelming amount. If you like RTS games especially Warcraft 2, this is absolutely a no brainer buy. UPDATE 17 AUGUST: 60 fps cap removed. Hero Mode added to Classic Mode via an official Workshop Mod. Amongst a whole host of other updates. Dev is SUPER Active.

Super recommend. The Scouring does something very special in terms of game design which I have never experienced before. In a game like Dota 2 or League of Legends, one of the main appeals is to be able toe experience the entire spectrum of A-RPG progression in the span of a single match, spanning a 10 minute time frame for the early game, mid and late games. This solves a specific problem in regards to time-investment because I get to experience the whole meta-levelling progression cycle in a single 40 minute match instead of a 70 hour grind. The massive advantage is being able to experiment a massive amount of builds with absolutely no grind, and all packaged within a multiplayer sandbox where unpredictability is king; and familiarity is queen (because of a single map). The result is a game with massive replay value, and the best power scale progression a multiplayer game can offer, not to mention the teamwork mechanics where replay value increases even more. The value of an RTS on the other hand is the power scale progression not in terms of item diversity or character levelling, but in macro-scale economic-military expansion. Meaning the value is in solving an economic-spatial-temporal puzzle where your decisions shape the size of your army, economy and military options. The reason why you stick with an rts until the late game, is the pre-emptive satisfaction of gathering enough resources to build a massive army, and to see it clash with the opponent's army or base of the same size. The visual feast of seeing all the units interact on the screen, is the reward you get for creating a massive economy and army. This game does something really special. It has a game mode called hero mode (available on every single map). in this game mode, you start with a standard base like in the other classic rts mode. The difference is, the AI will manage your entire base, from workers to resources to army creation. You personally control a single hero unit very much akin to a MOBA, where your job is to: • level up by killing neutral mobs and enemy units • Buy items at your base with the gold you make and the gold the ai is farming for you. Your objective is to kill the enemy hero unit, which is controlled by enemy ai. This means that you get to experience the meta-progression of a MOBA, while at the same time, enjoying a visual spectacle of units and buildings clashing all around you giving you a living breathing eco-system with ARPG level interactivity. This game mode manages to bridge the gap between the satisfying meta-progression of MOBAs with the visual spectacle of rts games, where the unit and building variety create a sandbox of unpredictability where the replay value is very high in a single player setting. Also a lot of the tedious systems are automated, like the revival mechanic, and the automatic consumption of potions in your inventory. This game mode alone is worth full price, I think it's the future of the RTS formula. Extra plus point, for allowing me to continue my game on startup, even when using alt-F4 to close the game. Thank you devs for pushing the boundaries of game development.

Small game but solid content and good fluidity and pathfinding. Maybe buy it now to support the dev or buy it in a few months when the content gets extended

Finally a proper RTS. Starts early access with 1v1, team, single player, tutorial, replay system, mod workshop, map editor. Much better launch than some other RTS/RTT games I have played recently but will not name Broken Arrow :)

Great game but I personally would like to have a Hero in the standard game mode as well.
