While wondering at some new strategies, space sims and Armada in particular, I asked myself many times if there is a way I could play an RTS which is like a wargame. Some of usual space 4X strategies give me this feeling but not in the dynamic and way I want it to be - to be honest, it's very hard to give me a game which a will complete in any way.
So, I found one thing which, I gues, is not very well known - Starfall Tactics. It says, that it mixes RTS and Wargame:
As a wargame, Starfall Tactics primarily focuses on the tactical elements of combat, where the action revolves around fleets and each individual unit's capabilities, rather than whole armies. There is also no base building or extensive economy management, although players do get to make interesting choices in this area.
At the same time, RTS players will feel right at home in Starfall Tactics, due to familiar controls and UI elements, as well as similar gameplay notions.
The only thing I am aware of is will it be very difficult to play? Those lines of fire, real-time projectile impact, friendly fire, ramming and so on scaring me a little bit - it reminds me of trying to play EVE...which was pretty hard to begin.
So, what do you think of this mix of genres? Is it worth playing something like this?
