About

Classic RTS action meets modern production and performance in Tempest Rising. Inspired by RTS greats of the 90s and 2000s, Tempest Rising is a classic, base-building real time strategy game set in a modern day alternative history war scenario. It features 3 unique factions, each with its own approach to combat and economy and offering a variety of strategies for players of all stripes, maps with neutral structures to contest and neutral populations to contend with, deep and rewarding gameplay that keeps a focus on strategy while rewarding skill, and built-in customization options that allow players to approach the game their way in both single player and multiplayer game modes.

Take on the role of Commander in the highly mobile and advanced peacekeeping corps of the Global Defense Forces or the hard-hitting and desperate Tempest Dynasty in 2 15-mission campaigns that allow the player to customize their army for each mission, as both armies seek to understand and control the mysterious but beneficial Tempest vines that grow unchecked across the war-torn planet Earth. Other dangers wait in the shadows, as the origin of the Tempest is revealed...

Tempest Rising reviews and comments

[4/10] Tempest Rising could be a fairly interesting game—especially given how few RTS titles are released nowadays—but unfortunately, it ends up feeling far too similar to Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. This goes beyond mere inspiration or genre blending; even the campaign structure is practically a one-to-one copy of the classic. It’s hardly a spoiler to mention the presence of a third hidden faction—especially since the developers advertise it openly on Steam—but again, this mirrors Tiberium Wars almost identically. Add to that some awkward unit voiceovers that feel completely out of place for their factions, and sadly, what we’re left with feels more like a low-budget knockoff of a much better game. It’s a real shame the developers didn’t choose to carve out their own vision, because Tempest Rising had the potential to stand out in a genre that’s been craving fresh entries for years. Unfortunately for Tempest Rising, I revisited Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars just a few weeks ago—and I have to say, it still holds up far better. The superior dialogue, quality voice acting, and well-crafted, cohesive campaign make it an engaging experience that Tempest Rising simply can't match.
