About the Game

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, 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 11-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...

Features

  • Relive classic RTS base building with fast, fluid, and hard-hitting combat

  • Command 2 unique rosters of units as either the GDF (Global Defense Force) or the Tempest Dynasty (with the third playable faction, the Veti, coming in the future.)

  • Experience 2 epic single player campaigns with voiced mission briefings

  • Wage war alone or with friends in 3 game modes: versus AI opponents in Custom Game lobbies, in 1v1 and 2v2 Multiplayer Matchmaking, or solo in skirmish mode with up to 500 units per team and two unique superweapons to compliment each faction’s playstyle.

  • Dominate the competition and climb the leaderboards in Ranked matchmaking, utilizing the Glicko-2 rating system

You had the Veti in the base game, you said you weren't happy with it so you spent months trying to fix it. Now you're asking people to pay for your mistakes? You're out of your minds!

Utterly disgusting and greedy behaviour I purchased this game in early access to support the devs as 3 factions were promised. What do we get 2 factions with a very small amount of missions. After a year of waiting we

6/10. Quick Summary: Good campaign, terrible skirmish mode. Detail: I have been looking for a good replacement for games like C&C Generals and Zero Hour which I really liked. Campaign wise I would say look no further. 2

This was fantastic. I think some/many might find it too costly for what some might consider a short campaign. I would argue to play on harder difficulties. All around the game is solid. Not groundbreaking in any way,

yes I would, if you like command and conquer kane's wrath or command and conquer 3 this is probably the closest modern title to Command and Conquer in 20 years. Love it. my ONLY complaint is that there's only two

So incredibly slow. Doing a measurement of building construction speed, it's around 50% of RA2, and it really shows. If you've got nothing better to do with your life, go ham.
