Tempest Rising Steam Charts & Stats

Loved every bit of it! Hoping to see more of these soon. Literally reminded me of C&C red alert 2!

It's gooood and finally again a worthy and fun RTS contender after such a long time without one (the last good one being Starcraft 2 in my book where the last addon was released about ten years ago). The campaign and story is decent, the soundtrack is just pure industrial metal/djent awesomeness and the gameplay is up there with the good old C&C classics - fast paced action but also with strategic depth and macro. It is not all perfect though and I wish the game would have been released in a more polished state and with more content. Especially the multiplayer, which comes with only a few maps and bare bones functionality (no replays, maximum teamsize is 2v2, no lobbychat (!) etc.), could still have used some more development time. Faction balance seems overall fine. If you are into RTS or just miss the good old C&C days, definitely support these devs!

I love these games. But this is too basic. There are hardly any units, barely any maps. It's just not worth 35 quid. I'm disappointed to say the least....

i just wanted a game to chill with. Even easy is so stupid. the speed in which they AI can produce units is insane and not fun, not a challenge, just annoying.

This game is an excellent attempt at a 90s/2000s style RTS in 2025. Is it as good as the grand old days of Command and Conquer and Starcraft? Some people say yes, some say no, some may say it is pretty damn close. I personally would put it in the "pretty damn close" category and for that reason I can easily recommend this game.

Okay Im a big command & conquer fan, have all the games, personally Red alert if my favourite, I wanted this game to be good but its just so 1 dimensional its unreal, Make army slowly, yeah this game feels very slow not much fluidity at all but anyway make army go to middle of the the terrible maps and see who wins the battle, if you lose here you lose the whole game, no point playing it out you are done, no chance of come back. Then there is the colours in this game and wow red blends with the colour of the tempest so its very difficult to see whats what on the mini map, the garrisonable structures in this game are white squares on the mini map but a player can also select the white colour making it even more confusing, colours are just dull. The fact that their is a 3rd faction not released yet also is another annoying thing because already game play has become stale for me personally, and it just all feels unfinished, lack of a power unit in these games also like a Kirov for example, I suppose you could say constructing the Dynasty balls are that unit but frankly it just looks stupid, literally just ball spam so you have mechanical balls rolling over everything in the game. Im fed up of games being released that are unfinished, I think ill stick to RA3 online like I have done for 17 years... I will update my review if this game gets better but right now I wish I didnt buy it.

Eh, at just 6 hours of play time ... Tempest is what I call a "rush" game. That is pump out units early and fast, -- simple units -- and rush the AI. Rinse and repeat, same battle over and over. Not really for the thoughtful builder who wants to pursue different strategies. If you don't rush the AI immediately, its rush will grind you down in less the 20 minutes. No, the defensive structures are too weak to make an early defense. So the games are very fast and fall into the same repeated scenario. It kept my interest for about 6 hours. Red Alert and Command and Conquer were much better at ballancing the early aspect of the game.

I live for these type of games, with a deep love of C&C and AOE games in my blood. TR is quite the game, and I am thoroughly enjoying it, it has been very well put together and creative — would definitely recommend it to others.

Welcome back, Commander! Do you like RTS? Especially Command and Conquer? Go try Tempest Rising. You will love it. Great gameplay AND soundtrack, the factions are quite unique and well designed. And a third faction will probably be available soonish. However there are some flaws: - You only can play against 3 other bots, 4 players in total. Not really a deal breaker for me, but be aware of it. - There are only a handful of 2vs2 maps - Some units really are in need of a minor balancing - You can't go into 2vs2 ranked with your buddy That's it. Support these devs and go get it. It's worth your time. And money.

[h1] "The time to strike is now! And you will be my sword.” [/h1] Tempest Rising (2025) represents a real-time strategy (RTS) game, developed by the company Slipgate Ironworks and published by the company 3D Realms / Knights Peak. Other notable titles of the development studio are Ghostrunner (2020) and Phantom Fury (2024). [i] Pros & cons: [/i] ++ Two campaigns with different factions and 11 missions each, where you can individually adapt your army setup to the constantly changing scenarios and occasional twists in the story. I would also like to highlight the mission briefings and the small cutscenes in between, they contribute significantly to the atmosphere and immersion. Furthermore, a great soundtrack with “Conclave” being my favourite track by Frank Klepacki. + The multiplayer offers a good commander the chance to apply Sun Tzu’s argument of making oneself invincible then waiting for an opportunity to seize the enemy. For the less ambitious among us, the skirmish against AI shall suffice. + Unit’s rank up system (3 times) makes it rewarding to micro your troops. However, veterans do not dominate the field like in the Command & Conquer (C&C) series of games, where upgraded units were high priority targets. o Players from the C&C era will feel at home as there are certain parallels to this franchise, e.g. UI system, building and unit production, resource gathering, capturable units by engineers, etc. o Dear developers, I would like to see the following improvements for a future release: More skirmish maps. Maps for more than 4 players. A map editor and a replay function. Super units (not super weapons) for Dynasty and GDF armies; yes, I am looking at you Veti Warender. And map expansions during campaign missions, e.g. simply adding additional map sections when a certain objective or timer is reached. Play with the map size and never let me guess your next move. [i] Summary: [/i] Slipgate Ironworks offers rock-solid gameplay with two excellent campaigns, and I had a lot of fun playing both on Insane difficulty. Nevertheless, it remains very lacking in terms of additional content, and I hope the developers will address these issues with an upcoming DLC. Recommended for commanders of all stripes who are eager to dominate the post-nuclear battlefields. [i] Achievements: [/i] Estimated time for 100% completion: +60 hours Singleplayer achievements: 94 Multiplayer achievements: 4
