RTS Is Quietly Having a Comeback (Ep.50)

It’s sharp criticism and honest discussion about strategy game design. If a game is shallow or broken, we’ll say so. If it does something clever, we’ll explain why it works. We talk to developers and key industry figures, getting into the mechanics and design choices that shape the games we love.We're an RTS podcast, a 4X podcast, a place for smarter conversations about tactics and strategy gaming.
