Real Time Strategy Games

[Sprank1]

Hello All,

I've been trying to search the App Store for games, but I find the organization of the store to be sorely lacking.

So ... I am looking for recommendations on Real Time Strategy games for the iPad.

Warcraft and Starcraft are two of my all time favorite games, and I would love to play something similar on my iPad.

If anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear them.

Thank you

I know Command and conquer is there and a star craft knock off that I can't think of. A good place to look is toucharcade.com, many threads there on good RTS. Remember, your iPad can play iPhone/iPod touch games....

Also if you go to the app store on your computer through iTunes, you can select the games category, and then select a sub-category of the genres. I have not used my computer in so long I forgot about it......lol....

Space Station: Frontier HD. RTS in space. You mine asteriods and build weapons to defend your space station. It's a purely defensive game though. Highly rated and I've enjoyed it quite a bit.

Just beat it.....good game though the missions did not have much variety. Required a lot of grinding to get the upgrades needed to advance. Ended up getting them all and maxing just about everything.

I picked Biodefence up yesterday.... It is free for a limited time.... I have not played it yet......

Thanks for the heads up.....still free.

BTW Tower Madness HD was released today. Kind of expensive but among the best tower defense games out there. Aliens after your sheep! BTW, buy the flame thrower for .99.....it's overpowered, hehe.

Biodefense sucks. It quickly becomes IMPOSSIBLE to survive no matter what you do. I mined all the Toxium on the entire map and still didn't have enough money to survive longer than about 30 minutes.

Has anyone played Galcon Fusion on the iPad? I don't have my iPad yet so I can't offer a review.

It's almost like a game I played on my buddy's Apple IIe almost 25 years ago called "Galactic Empires". Although that game was turn-based and not real-time. We would build up huge fleets over the course of a whole day or weekend then have epic battles that would run all night.

I have played the iPhone version (just called Galcon) a bit. I like it because the game has the same concept and good graphics, but it goes too damn fast for my taste.

How is the C&C? I wanted to get it, but I see reviews stating the framerate is slow slow it makes it unplayable

I just paid for Starfront: Collision. I don't normally buy a lot of app, but after playing the free version and seeing that they released an Ipad HD version, I decided to splurge ($6.99)

I can't wait until the Ipad 2 Jailbreak is released...

Try astro empires it's strategy and can be played on the I pad I must admit to play this game you have to be patient and plan ahead
