Title.

Always wanted to command units in RTS / Strategy games both from top down (some exterior camera) AND in first person. But there aren't too many (any?) games that allow this type of gameplay.

Found this by accident:



Is shooting from TP/FP native feature in the game or a mod? (for those that played CTA)

Any other games similar to this?

Wouldn't be cool to have a Total War game that would allow this... ! Surprised

i bought the whole bundle when there was a sale, it's awesome and you likely won't find anything better (for what you want).

and yes its native to the game, not a mod.

It's a tad older than you want most likely, but I remember playing this back in the day. I think back to this once in a while and how with modern technology this is such a cool concept.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1494420/Silica/

mix of RTS and FPS.

There's also another game similar to above, more colorful and kind of NMS-like if i remember correctly, can't remember the name Sad it's early access.
Edit: meh really can't find it on my Wishlist.

Yep, there aren't many.

That's why this thread also...

Was hoping for some 'hidden' g(a)ems that you guys are maybe playing.

Natural Selection still has no SP (bots)... pfff! Sad

I played a bit of Savage back in time. Not my cup of tea. Smile

Also, found this insanity:

I think very difficult game to get off the ground. It could absolutely work but it needs a high player count. To garner high player count it has to be a very good, polished game. That Silica game is probably the best we've seen for this genre, I guess Battlezone as well but there is no overarching commander / RTS component.

You have to mechanically make the FPS and RTS work together without either being boring, pretty big ask.

I'm not that into FPS multiplayer now it's mainstream every game, even unpopular ones has derp subscription cheats on launch day.

-base building ,
-resources managment, (scrap and power)
-upgrade system
- Ai for non human units (you can give orders)

Well, Last Train Home has this as well. But the combat side is bad though (see my little comment in the thread).
Great potential, but real rough on that level.

But thanks for reminding me of that Finnish DLC for CTA.
Gonna play it tomorrow =)

The RTS/3rd person part Smile
Even if it's more of a Frostpunk/CTA hybrid.

Might be mixing up terms, but it by that you mean that you can "impersonate" a soldier/vehicle/gun, then no, not that I know of.

Thought you meant top view, in a sense Razz
