Calling all strategy fans! A demo for the highly anticipated RTS, Tempest Rising, has just dropped on Steam as part of the platform's strategy-focused festival. This is your chance to experience a taste of classic strategy gameplay, brought to life with modern technology.
A Blast From the Past With Modern Flair
Tempest Rising comes to us from Slipgate Ironworks, a studio primarily known for its work on first-person shooters, like Phantom Fury and Graven. However, this time, they've taken a different path, drawing inspiration not from their shooter titles, but from the iconic real-time strategy games of the 90s, like Command & Conquer.
This is a deliberate effort to recapture the magic of classic RTS gameplay. Tempest Rising is designed to deliver a classic strategy experience but with modern technologies and performance. The developers aim to offer a game that appeals to both veteran strategists and newcomers to the genre.
What To Expect From The Game
Tempest Rising is set in an alternate modern world and features three unique factions, each with its distinct approach to warfare and economics. Players of all skill levels should find a play style that suits them. Players can also discover and control or conquer neutral buildings and settlements throughout the maps.
The demo features both single-player missions and multiplayer support, giving players an excellent opportunity to dive into the game and experience both the gameplay and the competitive aspect of it.
Release Date and More
The full release of Tempest Rising is slated for April 24, 2025. But this demo is available right now, so don't wait to give it a try and see if this game is for you!
