The RTS genre has been through plenty of ups and downs over the last decade, but one thing’s clear - it’s still going strong. Whether you’re into large-scale battles, tight tactical skirmishes, or something in between, there’s been no shortage of great games keeping the genre alive. But let’s cut to the chase: which RTS from the last 10 years takes the top spot?

Does Company of Heroes 3 deliver the best mix of tactical depth and cinematic WWII combat? Maybe Iron Harvest scratched that Command & Conquer-style itch with its dieselpunk mechs and classic base-building mechanics. Or did Age of Empires IV get it right by modernizing a classic without losing what made it great? And then there’s Stormgate, still on the horizon but aiming to shake things up with a fresh take on competitive RTS.

So what’s your pick? What makes it stand out? Is it the gameplay, the balance, the multiplayer scene, or just something that clicked with you? Let’s hear it - make your case and maybe even convince someone to give your favourite a shot.
 
Company of Heroes 3 is certainly one of the great RTS games released in the last 10 years. Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void is another RTS games that I would like to add to this list. Age of Empires IV revived historical strategy with modern polish. I believe this is also a great game to be released in the recent years.
