Spoiler: Gameplay with dev commentary

• Classic RTS base building with fast and fluid hard-hitting combat.
  
• 3 asymmetrical playable factions, each featuring distinct economy and play styles.
  
• Each faction offers a unique roster of units.
  
• 2 epic single player campaigns with between-mission cutscenes.
  
• Skirmish, custom games, and ranked multiplayer matchmaking with Elo rating.

I can't believe this flew under my radar when it was announced few months ago.

@Gee I read up on the storyline for the game and it's going a bit beyond homage and verging on ripoff or copycat.

Now EA, I want my CNC Remastered Collection Volume 2 and I want it now!!! I need some 4K Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2.

This game really is a copy of C&C lol.

Global Defence Forces (GDF) vs Global Defence Initiative (GDI)

In the absence of any new real C&C though, I'll still give it a try.

The RTS is back! Tempest Rising is a stalwart defence of everything that made the RTS great

Tempest Rising is a rollicking RTS just like mama Westwood used to make.
